Generalized linear models (GLMs) are a class of statistical models that extend traditional linear regression to allow for response variables that have error distribution models other than a normal distribution. This flexibility makes GLMs useful for various types of data, particularly when dealing with count data or binary outcomes. They connect the linear predictor to the mean of the distribution through a link function, making them versatile tools in statistical analysis.
