[R] The math underlying the `betareg' package?

Folks, The betareg package appears to be polished and works well. But I would like to look at the exact formulas for the underlying model being estimated, the likelihood function, etc. E.g. if one has to compute \frac{\partial E(y)}{\partial x_i}, this requires careful calculations through these f
