This workshop introduces the generalized linear regression model, which extends the linear regression model to accommodate outcomes with different distributions. The workshop briefly reviews linear regression concepts as necessary, and then discusses logistic regression for binary outcomes and Poisson and negative binomial models for count outcomes. Examples of running each of these models in R are provided. Some exposure to both linear regression and R would be helpful but are not required.
