Dear fellows,
 
I'm trying to extract the AIC statistic from a GLM model with quasipoisson link.
The formula I'm referring to is 
 
AIC = -2(maximum loglik) + 2df * phi
 
with phi the overdispersion parameter, as reported in:
 
Peng et al., Model choice in time series studies os air pollution and mortality. J R Stat Soc A, 2006; 162: pag 190.
 
Unfortunately, the function logLik doesn't work for a quasipoisson link.
Do you know a fast method to extract the AIC for these models?
 
Thanks in advance
