R: The multinomial family

multinomial {mi} | R Documentation

## The multinomial family

### Description

This function is a returns a `family` and is a generalization of `binomial`. users would only need to call it when calling `change` with `what = "family", to = multinomial(link = 'logit')`

### Usage

    multinomial(link = "logit")

### Arguments

`link` | character string among those supported by `binomial`

### Details

This function is mostly cosmetic. The `family` slot for an object of `unordered-categorical-class` must be `multinomial(link = 'logit')`. For an object of `ordered-categorical-class` but not its subclasses, the `family` slot must be `multinomial()` but the link function can differ from its default (`"logit"`)

### Value

A `family` object
