Generalized linear models are generalizations of linear regression models for situations where the outcome variable is, for example, a binary, or ordinal, or count variable, etc. The specific models we cover include binary, binomial, and categorical logistic regression, Poisson and negative binomial regression for count variables, as well as extensions for overdispersed and zero-inflated data. We begin by providing a brief overview of the normal general linear model. Understanding this model is vital for the proper understanding of how it is generalized in generalized linear models. Next, we introduce the widely used binary logistic regression model, which is is a regression model for when the outcome variable is binary. Next, we cover the binomial logistic regression, and the multinomial case, which is for modelling outcomes variables that are polychotomous, i.e., have more than two categorically distinct values. We will then cover Poisson regression, which is widely used for modelling outcome variables that are counts (i.e the number of times something has happened). We then cover extensions to accommodate overdispersion, starting with the quasi-likelihood approach, then covering the negative binomial and beta-binomial models for counts and discrete proportions, respectively. Finally, we will cover zero-inflated Poisson and negative binomial models, which are for count data with excessive numbers of zero observations.
