Generalized Linear Model
The (Scaled) Exponential Family
f (y; ξ, σ) = exp
{ yξ − b(ξ) σ^2
} .
var(Y ) = σ^2 bξξ
( b− ξ 1 (μ)
) = σ^2 g(μ)^2 ,
so the variance depends on the mean in a specific way.
Distribution b(ξ) ξ(μ) g(μ)^2
Normal, σ^2 = 1 ξ^2 / 2 μ 1 Poisson exp(ξ) log μ μ Gamma − log(−ξ) 1 /μ μ^2 Inverse Gaussian −
