Abstract
R
package, VGAM,
which provides utilities for vector generalized linear models (VGLMs) and vector generalized additive models (VGAMs) [125]. VGLMs and VGAMs are an even more flexible class of models where there may be multiple responses. However, beyond offering flexibility of multiple parameters, the VGAM
package implements over 20 link functions, well over 50 different models/assumed distributions. We will only scratch the surface of the VGAM
package capabilities in this chapter, but its great flexibility means that we will not need to introduce many different packages nor many different functions. If you would like to learn about VGLMs and VGAMs in far greater depth, we recommend an excellent book by the author of the VGAM
package [125].
