<p>Hi IPMPack users,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have a problem with overdispersion in my fecundity object. Especifically in the Poisson model:</p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;">fec1~size. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I solved the problem using a negative binomial distribution with glm.nb . </span>
</span></p>
<p><br>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My problem is how to incorporate this model into the fecundity object in IPMPack. I am aware we can use the families included in the library(stats),
but negative binomial (glm.nb) is in<span style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> the library(MASS).</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><br>

<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">thanks</span></span></span></span></p>
