Generalized Linear Models

Rating:
Summary: Excellent introduction
Review: Generalized linear models are a class of statistical models that allow various types of variables to be used as dependent variables. This book provides an excellent elementary introduction to this topic. It will be useful as a textbook or as an overview for statistical modelers. Even though I have many years experience with statistics, I learned much from this book. In particular, its well-written presentation and myriad examples provide wonderful access to what had heretofore been difficult material. It also shows how to run models using STATA, a widely used statistical package. I highly recommend this book!
