Discrete Response Regression Models

The number of software applications that include Generalized Linear Model (GLM) capabilities has increased significantly over the past several years. This text offers a clear examination of all members of the GLM family and provides explicit algorithms for their implementation. The authors have developed the book through workshops and seminars conducted worldwide on the theory of GLMs and GLM software. The algorithms presented match those found in Stata's GLM command -- first written by Hilbe -- in SAS's GENMOD procedure, in S-Plus, and in other leading statistical software packages.The text provides an overview of GLM methodology, including its scope, limitations, and extensions and thoroughly explains GLM algorithms -- even for little know models, such as negative binomial, geometric, and inverse Gaussian. It addresses various GLM extensions, including truncated and censored models and GEE, and stresses how to adjust GLMs to account for extra correlation.Hilbe, J. M. is the author of 'Discrete Response Regression Models', published 2003 under ISBN 9780849303081 and ISBN 0849303087.
