Description
There are numerous avenues for the use of generalized linear models in industry. The importance of GLMs is taken from the fact that many responses requiring modeling are nonnormal. Examples are proportion defective, number of defects, time to failure, and many others. While generalized linear models have historically been adapted mostly for biostatistical applications, there is clearly a need for industrial practitioners to embrace it. There is a particular need to deal with the difficult problem of appropriate experimental designs for these types of models.
