there are at least two alternatives
1) package dglm for Double generalized linear models
or probably better
2)package gamlss for Generalized Additive Models for Location Scale and
Shape. Here you can use alternative, sometimes more appropriate,
families and also you can include additive (nonparametric) terms in the
linear predictors
Hope this help,
you

> I am currently working with the betareg package, which allows the fitting
of a variable dispersion beta regression model (Simas et al. 2010, Computational
Statistics& Data Analysis). I was wondering whether there is any package in
R that allows me to fit variable dispersion parameters in the standard logistic
regression model, that is to make the dispersion parameter contingent upon some
covariates. I know that glm() from the base package allows the fitting of a
common dispersion parameter via selection of the quasibinomial family, but glm()
seems not to be able to individualize the dispersion parameter. Every hint is
welcomed!
