**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.
