2. **Specifying the Systematic Component (Linear Predictor):**
|
|
|
|
A linear combination of predictor variables should be constructed as the linear
|
|
|
|
predictor of the model.

3. **Choosing a Link Function:**
|

Choosing an appropriate function which maps the mean of the response variable onto the
|
|
|
|
linear predictor.
|
|
|
|
An appropriate function must be chosen which maps the mean of the response variable
|
|
|
|
onto the linear predictor. This function should be chosen in such a way to ensure that
|
|
|
|
the predicted means are in the permissible range.
