R help - Mar 2003 - glm -gamma errors

Dear list,

I am looking for a way to fix the scale parameter when fitting a
generalized linear model with gamma errors and log link.

Is there something like "SCALE" such as in GLIM?

As always thanks a lot.

No. Because it doesn't affect the answers we don't provide a way to
specify it.

It does affect standard errors and the other output of summary.glm, so
this function does have a dispersion= argument.
