Generalized Linear Models
• Traditional applications of linear models, such as DOX and multiple linear regression, assume that the response variable is – Normally distributed– Constant variance– Independent
• There are many situations where these assumptions are inappropriate– The response is either binary (0,1), or a count– The response is continuous, but nonnormal
Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
3
Some Approaches to These Problems• Data transformation
– Induce approximate normality– Stabilize variance– Simplify model form
• Weighted least squares– Often used to stabilize variance
• Generalized linear models (GLM)– Approach is about 25-30 years old, unifies linear and
nonlinear regression models– Response distribution is a member of the exponential family
(normal, exponential, gamma, binomial, Poisson)
Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining

Generalized Linear Models• Original applications were in biopharmaceutical sciences • Lots of recent interest in GLMs in industrial statistics• GLMs are simple models; include linear regression and
OLS as a special case• Parameter estimation is by maximum likelihood
(assume that the response distribution is known)• Inference on parameters is based on large-sample or
asymptotic theory• We will consider logistic regression, Poisson regression,
then the GLM

Binary Response Variables
• The outcome ( or response, or endpoint) values 0, 1 can represent “success” and “failure”
• Occurs often in the biopharmaceutical field; dose-response studies, bioassays, clinical trials
• Industrial applications include failure analysis, fatigue testing, reliability testing
• For example, functional electrical testing on a semiconductor can yield: – “success” in which case the device works– “failure” due to a short, an open, or some other failure mode

Problems With This Model
• The error terms take on only two values, so they can’t possibly be normally distributed
• The variance of the observations is a function of the mean (see previous slide)
• A linear response function could result in predicted values that fall outside the 0, 1 range, and this is impossible because

Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Logistic Regression
• The maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the model parameters are those values that maximize the likelihood (or log-likelihood) function
• ML has been around since the first part of the previous century
• Often gives estimators that are intuitively pleasing• MLEs have nice properties; unbiased (for large
samples), minimum variance (or nearly so), and they have an approximate normal distribution when n is large

21
Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Logistic Regression
• Solving the ML score equations in logistic regression isn’t quite as easy, because
• Logistic regression is a nonlinear model• It turns out that the solution is actually fairly easy, and is based on
iteratively reweighted least squares or IRLS (see Appendix for details)
• An iterative procedure is necessary because parameter estimates must be updated from an initial “guess” through several steps
• Weights are necessary because the variance of the observations is not constant
• The weights are functions of the unknown parameters

Odds Ratio for the Challenger Data
This implies that every decrease of one degree in temperature increases the odds of O-ring failure by about 1/0.84 = 1.19 or 19 percent
The temperature at Challenger launch was 22 degrees below the lowest observed launch temperature, so now
This results in an increase in the odds of failure of 1/0.0231 = 43.34, or about 4200 percent!! There’s a big extrapolation here, but if you knew this prior to launch, what decision would you have made?

Wald inference• Uses the result that the MLEs have an approximate normal
distribution, so the distribution of

Poisson Regression• Consider now the case where the response is a count of
some relatively rare event:– Defects in a unit of product
– Software bugs
– Particulate matter or some pollutant in the environment
– Number of Atlantic hurricanes
• We wish to model the relationship between the count response and one or more regressor or predictor variables
• A logical model for the count response is the Poisson distribution

variance is related to the mean; in fact, in the Poisson distribution

Poisson Regression• The usual form of the Poisson regression model is
• This is a special case of the GLM; Poisson response and a log link
• Parameter estimation in Poisson regression is essentially equivalent to logistic regression; maximum likelihood, implemented by IRLS
• Wald (large sample) and Deviance (likelihood-based) based inference is carried out the same way as in the logistic regression model

• The aircraft damage data
• Response y = the number of locations where damage was inflicted on the aircraft

Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
59
The table contains data from 30 strike missions
There is a lot of multicollinearity in this data; the A-6 has a two-man crew and is capable of carrying a heavier bomb load
All three regressors tend to increase monotonically
Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
60
Based on the full model, we can remove x3
However, when x3 is removed, x1 (type of aircraft) is no longer significant – this is not shown, but easily verified
This is probably multicollinearity at work
Note the Type 1 and Type 3 analyses for each variable
Note also that the P-values for the Wald tests and the Type 3 analysis (based on deviance) don’t agree
Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
61
Let’s consider all of the subset regression models:
Deleting either x1 or x2 results in a two-variable model that is worse than the full model
Removing x3 gives a model equivalent to the full model, but as noted before, x1 is insignificant
One of the single-variable models (x2) is equivalent to the full model
Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
62
The one-variable model with x2 displays no lack of fit (Deviance/df = 1.1791)
The prediction equation is
21.6491 0.2282ˆ xy e

•The mine fracture data•The response is a count of the number of fractures in the mine•The regressors are:

Lower seam height (feet)
Time in years that mine has been open

Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
64
The * indicates the best model of a specific subset size
Note that the addition of a term cannot increase the deviance (promoting the analog between deviance and the “usual” residual sum of squares)
To compare the model with only x1, x2, and x4 to the full model, evaluate the difference in deviance:
38.03 - 37.86 = 0.17
with 1 df. This is not significant.
Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
65
There is no indication of lack of fit: deviance/df = 0.9508
The final model is:

66
The Generalized Linear Model• Poisson and logistic regression are two special cases of the GLM:
– Binomial response with a logistic link
– Poisson response with a log link
• In the GLM, the response distribution must be a member of the exponential family:
• This includes the binomial, Poisson, normal, inverse normal, exponential, and gamma distributions

Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
67
The Generalized Linear Model• The relationship between the mean of the response
distribution and the linear predictor is determined by the link function
• The canonical link is specified when
• The canonical link depends on the choice of the response distribution

Canonical Links for the GLM
Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
69
Links for the GLM
• You do not have to use the canonical link, it just simplifies some of the mathematics
• In fact, the log (non-canonical) link is very often used with the exponential and gamma distributions, especially when the response variable is nonnegative
• Other links can be based on the power family (as in power family transformations), or the complimentary log-log function
Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
70
Parameter Estimation and Inference in the GLM
• Estimation is by maximum likelihood (and IRLS); for the canonical link the score function is
• For the case of a non-canonical link,
• Wald inference and deviance-based inference is conducted just as in logistic and Poisson regression

A GLM for the Worsted Yarn Data
• Confidence intervals on the mean response are uniformly shorter from the GLM than from least squares
• See Lewis, S. L., Montgomery, D. C., and Myers, R. H. (2001), “Confidence Interval Coverage for Designed Experiments Analyzed with GLMs”, JQT, 33, pp. 279-292
• While point estimates are very similar, the GLM provides better precision of estimation
Linear Regression Analysis 5E Montgomery, Peck & Vining
79
Residual Analysis in the GLM• Analysis of residuals is important in any model-fitting
procedure
• The ordinary or raw residuals are not the best choice for the GLM, because the approximate normality and constant variance assumptions are not satisfied
• Typically, deviance residuals are employed for model adequacy checking in the GLM.
• The deviance residuals are the square roots of the contribution to the deviance from each observation, multiplied by the sign of the corresponding raw residual:

Overdispersion
• Occurs occasionally with Poisson or binomial data• The variance of the response is greater than one would
anticipate based on the choice of response distribution• For example, in the Poisson distribution, we expect the
variance to be approximately equal to the mean – if the observed variance is greater, this indicates overdispersion
• Diagnosis – if deviance/df greatly exceeds unity, overdispersion may be present
• There may be other reasons for deviance/df to be large, such as a poorly specified model, missing regressors, etc (the same things that cause the mean square for error to be inflated in ordinary least squares modeling)

Overdispersion• Most direct way to model overdispersion is with a
multiplicative dispersion parameter, say , where
• A logical estimate for is deviance/df• Unless overdispersion is accounted for, the standard errors
will be too small.• The adjustment consists of multiplying the standard errors
by
( ) (1 ), binomial

The Wave-Soldering Experiment
• Response is the number of defects• Seven design variables:
– A = prebake condition
– B = flux denisty
– C = conveyor speed
– D = preheat condition
– E = cooling time
– F = ultrasonic solder agitator
– G = solder temperature

The Wave-Soldering Experiment
One observation has been discarded, as it was suspected to be an outlier
This is a resolution IV design

The Wave-Soldering Experiment
5 of 7 main effects significant; AC, AD, BC, and BD also significant
Overdispersion is a possible problem, as deviance/df is large
Overdispersion causes standard errors to be underestimated, and this could lead to identifying too many effects as significant

After adjusting for overdispersion, fewer effects are significant
C, G, AC, and BD the important factors, assuming a 5% significance level
Note that the standard errors are larger than they were before, having been multiplied by

Generalized Linear Models
• The GLM is a unification of linear and nonlinear models that can accommodate a wide variety of response distributions
• Can be used with both regression models and designed experiments
• Computer implementations in Minitab, JMP, SAS (PROC GENMOD), S-Plus
• Logistic regression available in many basic packages• GLMs are a useful alternative to data transformation, and
should always be considered when data transformations are not entirely satisfactory
• Unlike data transformations, GLMs directly attack the unequal variance problem and use the maximum likelihood approach to account for the form of the response distribution
