15 GeneralizedLinear ModelsDue originally to Nelder and Wedderburn (1972), Generalized Linear Models are a remarkablesynthesis and extension of familiar regression Models such as the Linear Models described inPart II of this text and the logit and probit Models described in the preceding chapter. The currentchapter begins with a consideration of the general structure and range of application of generalizedlinear Models ; proceeds to examine in greater detail Generalized Linear Models for count data,including contingency tables; briefly sketches the statistical theory underlying Generalized linearmodels; and concludes with the extension of regression diagnostics to Generalized Linear unstarred sections of this chapter are perhaps more difficult than the unstarred material inpreceding chapters. Generalized Linear Models have become so central to effective statistical dataanalysis, however, that it is worth the additional effort required to acquire a basic understandingof the The Structure of Generalized Linear ModelsAgeneralized Linear model(or GLM1) consists of three components:1.

extended GLMs to multivariate exponential families (such as the multinomial distribution), to certain non-exponential families (such as the two-parameter negative-binomial distribu-tion), and to some situations in which the distribution of Yi is not specified completely. Most of these ideas are developed later in the chapter. 2.
