A generalization of linear regression allowing for nonlinear relationships via a "link function" and for the variance of the response to depend on the predicted value. (Not to be confused with "general linear model" which extends the ordinary linear model to general covariance structure and multivariate response.)

Given a GLM using Tweedie, how do I find the coefficients?
Are you familiar with generalized linear models in R? If so, you can fit Tweedie glms just like any other glms.
The glm family definition necessary to make this happen is provided by the statmod R pac …

Why does the glm function converge and not give an error when all y's are equal to the same ...
In some cases, y is equal to the same value (example 1) for all observations. Theoretically, the model should not converge.
Nonsense. This is a very simple dataset for which the maximum likelihood r …

Non normal residuals for Tweedie GLM
No, a Tweedie GLM assumes that the responses follow a Tweedie distribution so, obviously, neither the data nor the ordinary residuals are expected to follow a normal distribution.
No, a Shapiro test …

How to correct underdispersion in logistic regression
Getting a residual mean deviance around 0.63 is perfectly normal for binary regression and it does not indicate underdispersion or overdispersion. For binary regression, the residual deviance is deter …

Deviance for Gamma GLM
The general derivation of the deviance for a GLM family is given in Section 5.4 of Dunn and Smyth (2018) (the book that you mentioned in a previous post).
You can insert the form of the gamma density …

What are weights in a binary glm and how to calculate them?
I'm going to give a more detailed answer. Tim and Ivan have correctly advised you not to worry about the weights argument and their answers would be excellent for continuous GLMs. Binary regression wi …

Tweedie Dispersion Parameter Estimation Methods
Tweedie generalized linear models assume a mean-variance relationship with variance power $p$, defined by
$$E(y_i)=\mu_i$$
and
$${\rm var}(y_i)=\phi \mu_i^p$$
where $y_i$ is the $i$th observation, $\m …

In GLMs are the Scale and Dispersion parameters the same?
Short Answer
Yes, in generalized linear model (GLM) theory, you can assume that the "dispersion" parameter and the "scale" parameter are the same thing. Roughly speaking, "scale" is the older GLIM te …

Small Sample Sizes and Zero Inflated Count Data in R
The problem you are observing with lack of significance of GA has nothing to do with zero inflation or with random effects.
It is simply a limitation of Wald tests for count models.

Overdispersion in fitted generalized linear model with insignificant regression coefficients
Yes, that is true.
There are only two commonly-used generalized linear model families for which the concept of overdispersion is relevant. These are Poisson regression or binomial regression when the …

Canonical link of Gamma Distribution
Yes, you are quite right. When we write the gamma distribution as an exponential dispersion model

we do find that the ca …

Can the Beta-regression be written in the GLM form?
GLMs assume that the response distribution is an Exponential Dispersion Model (EDM):
$$y_i \sim \mbox{ED}(\mu_i,\phi/w_i)$$
where $\phi$ is the dispersion parameter and $w_i$ is a known weight.
EDMs a …
