glm4: Fitting Generalized Linear Models Using Sparse Matrices

Fits Generalised Linear Models (GLMs) with sparse and dense 'Matrix' matrices for memory efficiency. Acts as a wrapper for the glm4() function in the 'MatrixModels' package <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.MatrixModels>, but adds convenient model methods and functions designed to mimic those associated with the glm() function from the 'stats' package.
