摘要: Classical categorical regression models such as the multinomial logit and proportional odds are shown to be readily handled by vector generalized linear additive model (VGLM/VGAM) framework. Additionally, there natural extensions, reduced-rank VGLMs for dimension reduction, allowing covariates that have values specific each linear/additive predictor, e.g., consumer choice modeling. This article describes some of framework behind VGAM R package, its usage implementation details.
