gfunc function

Convert response value to raw prediction in GLM

Compute response value to raw prediction such as linear predictor in GLM

gfunc(mu, family, epsbino)

Arguments

• mu: vector of numbers as response value in GLM, for instance, probability estimation if family=2
• family: integer from 1-4, corresponding to "gaussian", "binomial", "poisson", "negbin", respectively
• epsbino: a small positive value for family=2 to avoid numeric unstability

Returns

linear predictor f=x'b for predictor x and coefficient b if the model is linear
