An excellent introduction to GLM's
|
This book provides a short but very clear introduction to GLM's and applications. All major models are covered, providing a good survey of the wide application of these models and related techniques.
The text is mathematical in nature, but not extremely so.
The requirements are as far as I can see introduction courses in statistics, calculus and matrix algebra.
Almost all methods are illustrated with numerical examples. Data sets an solution outlines are available from the internet, making the book suitable for self study.
The only small point of critique is that I feel that the explanation of the numerical techniques used in the estimation of GLM's might be expanded (or additional material could be provided in appendix or on te internet).
