Field Value

An int specifying the column index of x containing the constant to be added to the linear response.

Default: It is assumed that w_i = 0 for all observations.

Remarks

The linear response is taken to be w_i+z_i\hat{\beta} where w_i is the observation constant, z_i is the observation design row vector, and \hat{\beta} is the vector of estimated parameters. The "fixed" constant allows one to test hypotheses about parameters via the log-likelihoods.
