In this case, GLM stands for "General Linear Model", and not "Generalized Linear Model" (although the former is a subset of the latter).

Hello Freesurfers,
I can not tell what the link is from the Mathematical Background in mri_glmfit . Also, why is GLM performed instead of a linear regression (OLS or weighted LS )? I can not see how logistic, probit, etc is better.
Thank you very much!
Sincerely, Ye
