Hi everyone,

I'm trying to perform the following regressions in order to compare linear
vs. sigmoidal fit of the relationship between my dependent variable (y) and
one explaining parameter (x2), both including the confounding effects of a
third variable (x1):

quasi-pois-lin <- glm(y ~ x1 + x2, family = quasipoisson(link="identity"),
data=fit)
quasi-pois-sig <- gnm(y ~ x1 + Mult(1, Inv(Const(1) + Exp(Mult(1 +
offset(-x2), Inv(1))))), family = quasipoisson(link="identity"), data=fit)

I can perform the linear model but not the sigmoidal one and I get an error
message:

Error in if (all(diagInfo < 1e-20) || all(abs(score) < tolerance *
sqrt(tolerance +  :
  absent value when TRUE/FALSE is necessary
Besides: Lost warning messages
1: In log(ifelse(y == 0, 1, y/mu)) : There are NaNs
2: In sqrt(w) : There are NaNs
I have included all possible logical arguments in different ways but it
hasn't work, so I don't know what else I can do. Does someone know where is
the mistake?

Many thanks in advance and best regards,

Elena
