Getting Help

You may find documentation for Zelig on-line (and hence must be on-line to access it). If you are unable to connect to the Internet, we recommend that you print the pdf version of this document for your reference.

If you are on-line, you may access comprehensive help files for Zelig commands and for each of the models. For example, load the Zelig library and then type at the R prompt:

> help.zelig(command)                # For help with all zelig commands.
> help.zelig(logit)                  # For help with the logit model.
In addition, help.zelig() searches the manual pages for R in addition to the Zelig specific pages. On certain rare occasions, the name of the help topic in Zelig and in R are identical. In these cases, help.zelig() will return the Zelig help page by default. If you wish to access the R help page, you should use help(topic).

In addition, built-in examples with sample data and plots are available for each model. For example, type demo(logit) to view the demo for the logit model. Commented code for each model is available under the examples section of each model reference page.
