Hello:

I'd like to know how and if the GLM convergence problems are addressed in gamlss.
For simplicity, let's focus on Normal and Negative Binomial with log link.
The convergence issues of the glm() function were alleviated in 2011 when glm2 package was released.
Package gamlss was released in 2012, so it might still use the glm-like solution or call glm() directly. 
Is that the case or the improvements from glm2 have been incorporated into gamlss also?

Regards,
Nik
