Un modèle linéaire généralisé (GLM) est un modèle qui permet différentes distributions des fonctions résiduelles et non linéaires. Il utilise essentiellement une transformation qui redresse la régression. Différentes distributions sont gérées selon le maximum de vraisemblance. 3, record 2, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20lin%C3%A9aire%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ralis%C3%A9
