### Examples

    set.seed(1)

    ###  Fit an association model with homogeneous row-column effects
    rc1 <- gnm(Freq ~ r + c + Diag(r,c) + MultHomog(r, c),
               family = poisson, data = friend)
    rc1

    ## Not run:
    ###  Extend to two-component interaction
    rc2 <- update(rc1, . ~ . + MultHomog(r, c, inst = 2),
                  etastart = rc1$predictors)
    rc2
