The website statsoft.com offers this explanation of the '''generalized linear model''':
"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

Whereas in classical linear models the variable Y is assumed to follow a normal distribution, generalized linear models consider more general distributions, such as a Poisson or a multinomial distribution, and are therefore applicable to a wider field of problems.
