Unit 13 : The Generalized Linear Model

It's about time!!

Remember that the "y's" in our models are also called "responses", and the X's are called "explanatory" variables.

The table below gives the statistical methodologies for various combinations of explanatory and response variables. The Generalized Linear Model groups many of these analyses into one unified statisticall approach.
