Family-link combinations supported by ergmm.
Each supported family has a family of R functions, of the form
pY.-, lpY.-, EY.-,
dlpY.deta.-, lpYc.-, rsm.-, followed by the family's R name,
for the respective family's R name, representing the family's
likelihood, log-likelihood, expectation, derivative of log-likelihood,
log-normalizing-constant, and random sociomatrix generation functions.
On the C side, similar functions exist, but becuase of static
typing, are also provided for “continuous” versions of those
families. These should not be used on their own, but are used in
estimating MKL positions from the posterior distribution.

.link can be omited when not ambiguous. Some families
require an appropriate fam.par argument to be supplied to
ergmm:
a mandatory trials parameter for the
number of trials (same for every dyad) whose success the response
counts represent
a mandatory var parameter for the variance of
the dyad values
