Course TopicsLinear models, generalized linear models, and nonlinear models are examples of parametric regression models because we know the function that describes the relationship between the ...

Course Topics Ordinary linear regression (OLR) assumes that response variables are continuous. Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) provide an extension to OLR since response variables can be continuous ...

You construct a generalized linear model by deciding on response and explanatory variables for your data and choosing an appropriate link function and response probability distribution. Some examples ...

The general linear model is a further special case with Z = 0 and . The following two examples illustrate the most common formulations of the general linear mixed model.

Generalized linear models are widely used by data analysts. However, the choice of the link function is often made arbitrarily. Here we permit the data to estimate the link function by incorporating ...

Generalized linear mixed model We use a binomial trait as an example to demonstrate the new methodology, although the method can be applied to other discrete traits. Let yj be the number of events ...

Diet models based on goal programming (GP) are valuable tools in designing diets that comply with nutritional, palatability and cost constraints.

Special properties hold for the generalized linear model. Examples from a Kenyan HIV study will illustrate the points. The purpose of the Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics is to ...
