R help - Jun 2004 - restricted glm estimation

R users,

 

Is there a package or procedure that implements restricted estimation using
glm? I need to do a poisson regression under glm with one parameter fixed at
a specific value. Just at a glance, I don't see a way to do it using glm.

 

Thanks.

Use offset(), which allows you to enter a term with coefficient fixed at 
one (and hence at any value by including the fixed value in the offset).
