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