gle properties

GLE node icon A GLE extends the linear model so that the target can have a non-normal distribution, is linearly related to the factors and covariates via a specified link function, and so that the observations can be correlated. Generalized linear mixed models cover a wide variety of models, from simple linear regression to complex multilevel models for non-normal longitudinal data.
