R help - Apr 2005 - glm: mustart, different default for quasi and quasipoisson

Hallo,

for the
quasipoisson family the default for mustart is
y+ 0.1,
for the quasi family with 'variance="mu"'
the default is  y + 0.1 * (y == 0)

I would like to know, whether 
the setting for quasipoisson
is preferable for count data in relation to the quasi setting.


regards

Ulrich
