[R] GLM information matrix

[Bickel, David]

Is there a function that provides the Fisher information matrix for a
generalized linear model? I do not see how to access the off-diagonal
matrix elements of the value returned by glm. (I'm particularly
interested in logistic regression.)

If not, what is a good way to use R to compute Hessians or other partial
derivatives of log likelihoods?

I would appreciate any guidance.

David
