Consider a generalized linear model for independent observations Y1,…,Yn, with E(Yi)=μi for i=1,…,n. What is a linear predictor? What is meant by the link function? If Yi has model function (or density) of the form
f(yi;μi,σ2)=exp[σ21{θ(μi)yi−K(θ(μi))}]a(σ2,yi)
for yi∈Y⊆R,μi∈M⊆R,σ2∈Φ⊆(0,∞), where a(σ2,yi) is a known positive function, define the canonical link function.
Now suppose that Y1,…,Yn are independent with Yi∼Bin(1,μi) for i=1,…,n. Derive the canonical link function.
