title: 'CanonicalFamilyExtra: Extra Canonical Link Family Objects for Generalized
  Linear Models'
version: 1.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.CanonicalFamilyExtra
abstract: Extra family objects in "weird" scenarios, particularly logistic or log-linear
  model with unbounded or non-binary/non-integer outcomes. Provides binomial_extra()
  and poisson_extra() as generalizations of binomial() and poisson(). The use of canonical
  link with the corresponding working likelihood in glm() ensures convexity, making
  model fitting reliable and independent of starting value. Robert WM Wedderburn (1974)
  <https://doi.org/10.1093/biomet/61.3.439> and Peter McCullagh (1983) <https://doi.org/10.1214/aos/1176346056>
  justified this method to fit generalized linear (mean) models with quasi-/working
  likelihood.
