Additional families

Source: R/family.R
families.Rd

Additional families compatible with tinyVAST().

Usage

delta_lognormal(link1, link2 = "log", type = c("standard", "poisson-link"))

delta_gamma(link1, link2 = "log", type = c("standard", "poisson-link"))

Arguments

link1

Link for first part of delta/hurdle model.

link2

Link for second part of delta/hurdle model.

type

Delta/hurdle family type. "standard" for a classic hurdle model. "poisson-link" for a Poisson-link delta model (Thorson 2018).

Link.

Value

A list with elements common to standard R family objects including family, link, linkfun, and linkinv. Delta/hurdle model families also have elements delta (logical) and type (standard vs. Poisson-link).
