 |
| General linear model | Generalized linear model | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical estimation method | Least squares, best linear unbiased prediction | Maximum likelihood or Bayesian |
| Special cases | ANOVA, ANCOVA, MANOVA, MANCOVA, ordinary linear regression, mixed model, t-test, F-test | general linear model, logistic regression, Poisson regression |
| Function in R | lm() | glm() |
| Function in Matlab | mvregress() | glmfit() |
| Procedure in SAS | PROC GLM, PROC MIXED | PROC GENMOD (PROC LOGISTIC for logistic regression only) |
