\title{Comparative Analysis with GEEs}
\description{
\code{compar.gee} performs the comparative analysis using generalized
\code{drop1} tests single effects of a fitted model output from
\code{compar.gee}.
+
+ \code{predict} returns the predicted (fitted) values of the model.
}
\usage{
compar.gee(formula, data = NULL, family = "gaussian", phy, corStruct,
scale.fix = FALSE, scale.value = 1)
\method{drop1}{compar.gee}(object, scope, quiet = FALSE, ...)
+\method{predict}{compar.gee}(object, type = c("link", "response"), ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{formula}{a formula giving the model to be fitted.}
\item{scope}{<unused>.}
\item{quiet}{a logical specifying whether to display a warning message
about eventual ``marginality principle violation''.}
+ \item{type}{a character string specifying the type of predicted
+ values. By default, the linear (link) prediction is returned.}
\item{\dots}{further arguments to be passed to \code{drop1}.}
