In this case, GLM stands for "General Linear Model", and not "Generalized Linear Model" (although the former is a subset of the latter). See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_linear_model#Confusion_with_general_linear_models ________________________________________ From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu [freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu] on behalf of ye tian [tianye...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 12:46 PM To: Freesurfer Subject: [Freesurfer] GLM: What's the link?
Hello Freesurfers, I can not tell what the link is from the Mathematical Background in mri_glmfit . Also, why is GLM performed instead of a linear regression (OLS or weighted LS )? I can not see how logistic, probit, etc is better. Thank you very much!
