[R] Are fitted.values available in pglm?

[William Dunlap]

You should ask the maintainer of the package about this:
bug.report(package="pglm") or maintainer("pglm") should give you contact
information.

The help file for pglm seems all wrong - it says pglm's output has class
"pglm" with components like "fitted.values", but the the example calls to
pglm return things of class c("maxLik", "maxim", "list").
