| Oct 12, 2016 at 14:40 | comment | added | ilanman | I didn't mean for canonical to equate to correct. I added that to clarify that there can be many different types of links. No one correct link. As well, the OP seems to be confused with what a link function actually does. My answer is an attempt to add clarity around that. | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 14:26 | comment | added | whuber♦ | You seem to equate "canonical" with "correct." That's not what "canonical" means. There's a mathematical reason that Wikipedia article associates a unique, natural (i.e., canonical) link function with each of the distribution families it lists. Consequently your answer doesn't appear to address the question. | |
