I found a package 'bivpois' for R which evaluates a model for two related poisson processes (for example, the number of goals by the home and the away team in a soccer game). However, this package seems to no longer be useable in newer versions of R.
Is there a reasonable way to modify the glm() function to do a similar process, or run this older package on my new version of R? I have found very little literature on these sorts of processes and have found very little in terms of easy implementation in other statistical packages like STATA.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
While CRAN does not host a current binary of bivpois, you can build the package from the archived source code (see http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Checking-and-building-packages ). Building bivpois 0.50-3.1 from source (available at http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/bivpois/) works for me on R 2.15.0 Windows x64. The zipped Windows binary I built is available here: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/jthetzel-public/bivpois_0.50-3.1.zip .
You can feel free to refer to odds modelling and testing inefficiency of sports-bookmakersas I had modified the relevant functions inside bivpois package.
