Isn't it the case, that since R 2.40 that all one ought to need do is define one's own link and pass it to the family, rather re-defining the whole family?
CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.4.0 ... o make.link() now returns an object of class "link-glm". The GLM families accept an object of this class for their 'link' argument, which allows user-specified link functions. Also, quasi() allows user-specified variance functions. I thought that was the point of the example on the family help page. ken Douglas Bates a écrit : Look at the 'link' component of the two lists. In the binomial family object the link component is a character vector of link 1. In your logexposure family object it is a list of length 5.
