power
Generate a Power Link Object
Description
Creates a parametrized link subfamily with components:
name, 
link, 
inverse, 
deriv, and initialize.
The value of each component depends on the value of lambda. 
Usage
power(lambda = 1)
Arguments
| lambda | a numeric value that specifies the power parameter,
(typically within three units of zero).
The NA value is not allowed. | 
 
Details
If lambda is less than zero, it is taken as zero (implies log link). 
Value
a power link object with class attribute "link-glm",
which is a list of functions and expressions, including
| linkfun | 
| linkinv | 
| mu.eta | 
| valideta | 
| name | 
See the 
family.object help file for a description of the
components.
The value of lambda less than or equal to 0 is a limiting case,
and results in the log link function.
The value 1 for lambda will return the identity
link function.
