98 GENERALIZED LINEAR MODELS<br />

3.22 True, or false?<br />

a. An ordinary regression (or ANOVA) model that treats the response Y as<br />

normally distributed is a special case of a GLM, with normal random<br />

component and identity link function.<br />

b. With a GLM, Y does not need <strong>to</strong> have a normal distribution and one can<br />

model a function of the mean of Y instead of just the mean itself, but in<br />

order <strong>to</strong> get ML estimates the variance of Y must be constant at all values<br />

of predic<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />

c. The Pearson residual ei = (yi −ˆμi)/ √ ˆμi for a GLM has a large-sample<br />

standard normal distribution.
