Creates a parametrized link subfamily with up to five components: name,
link,
inverse,
deriv, and initialize. The value of each component depends on
the value of lambda.
USAGE:
power(lambda=1)
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
lambda:
The power parameter, which can be any numeric value
(typically within 3 units of zero).
VALUE:
A power link object, which is a list of functions and expressions.
Type power() for an example.
The value 0 for lambda is a limiting case, and results in the log link function; power detects this situation.
DETAILS:
If lambda is less than zero, it is taken as zero (implies log link).
