_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This is the main driver for FlexMix interfacing the 'glm' family
     of models.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     FLXglm(formula = . ~ .,
            family = c("gaussian", "binomial", "poisson", "Gamma"),
            offset = NULL)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

 formula: A formula which is interpreted relative to the formula
          specified in the call to 'flexmix' using 'update.formula'.
          Default is to use the original 'flexmix' model formula.

  family: A character string naming a 'glm' family function.

  offset: this can be used to specify an _a priori_ known component to
          be included in the linear predictor during fitting.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     See 'flexmix' for examples.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Returns an object of class 'FLXmodel'.
