Generalized linear models

This chapter reviews generalized linear models from a Bayesian perspective. We discuss prior distributions and hierarchical models. We demonstrate how to approximate the likelihood by a normal distribution, as an approximation and as a step in more general computations. Finally, we discuss the class of loglinear models, a subclass of Poisson generalized linear models that is commonly used for missing data imputation and discrete multivariate outcomes. This chapter is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather ...
