LinkFunction
is an option for GeneralizedLinearModelFit that specifies the link function for the generalized linear model.
Details
- The link function is an invertible function in the generalized linear model .
- Possible settings for LinkFunction include:
-
Automatic automatically determined "name" named link function g invertible function - The default value Automatic uses the canonical link for the ExponentialFamily associated with the model.
- The canonical link functions are as follows:
-
"LogitLink" used for "Binomial" "ReciprocalLink" used for "Gamma" "IdentityLink" used for "Gaussian" "InverseSquareLink" used for "InverseGaussian" "LogLink" used for "Poisson" - For "QuasiLikelihood" models, "IdentityLink" is used by default.
- Other common link functions for binomial data include:
-
"ProbitLink" "CauchitLink" "LogLogLink" "LogComplementLink" "ComplementaryLogLogLink" "OddsPowerLink" - Other common link functions for count data include:
-
"NegativeBinomialLink" - Other common link functions for positive real‐valued data include:
-
"PowerLink" - For "OddsPowerLink", "NegativeBinomialLink", and "PowerLink", the additional parameter α can be given by LinkFunction->{linkname,"LinkParameter"->α}. The parameter α can be any real value for "OddsPowerLink" and "PowerLink" and any positive value for "NegativeBinomialLink".
- With setting LinkFunction->g, g can be any pure function that is real‐valued and invertible on the response domain for the model.
