Can you tell me what does the option "zero" in genpoisson{VGAM} mean? zero An integer vector, containing the value 1 or 2. If so, *ë* or *theta*respectively are modelled as an intercept only. If set to NULL then both linear/additive predictors are modelled as functions of the explanatory variables. To fit a simple model like log(theta/(1-phi))=bo+b1x, which value of zero should i use 1 or 2 or NULL? Please help me its urgent! Thanks! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
