[R] family

[Dr L. Y Hin]

Dear all,

I am in the process of migrating an S programme library to R, and it 
involves the family entity.

I have checked ?family but it does not give much detail of its components.
I will be very grateful if anyone can point towards sources/ways to look up 
on this areas
with an aim to find the equivalance of the followings in S:
family()$inverse
family()$deriv
family()$variance
family()$deviance t


Thank you
Lin
