"The Generalized Linear Model (GLZ) is a generalization of the general linear model (see, e.g., the General Linear Models, [[Multiple Regression]], and [[Analysis of variance|ANOVA]]/[[Multivariate Analysis of Variance|MANOVA]] topics). In its simplest form, a [[linear model]] specifies the (linear) relationship between a dependent (or response) [[variable]] Y, and a set of predictor variables, the X's, so that | "The Generalized Linear Model (GLZ) is a generalization of the general linear model (see, e.g., the General Linear Models, [[Multiple Regression]], and [[Analysis of variance|ANOVA]]/[[Multivariate Analysis of Variance|MANOVA]] topics).
