What Does GLM Stand For?

GLM stands for General Linear Model

The General Linear Model (GLM) is a statistical framework that generalizes linear regression to accommodate a range of dependent variable types. It encompasses various models including ordinary least squares regression, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). GLM facilitates the modeling of relationships between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables by allowing for the inclusion of multiple predictors and the assessment of their effects. It provides a flexible approach to data analysis, enabling researchers to analyze complex datasets while accounting for various assumptions and potential interactions among variables.
