Q. What is a Generalized Linear Model (GLM)?
Q. Briefly discuss other models that fall within the scope of GLM.
Q. How does GLM adjust to the case of count data?
Q. What is the cost function used in Poisson Regression?
Q. What is overdispersion in Poisson Regression, and what are alternate specifications for when it is present?
