The GLM generalizes linear regression by allowing the linear model to be related to the response variable via a link function and by allowing the magnitude of the variance of each measurement to be a function of its predicted value.

Such a model is termed an exponential-response model ( or log-linear model, since the logarithm of the response is predicted to vary linearly ).

Generalized linear models cover all these situations by allowing for response variables that have arbitrary distributions ( rather than simply normal distributions ), and for an arbitrary function of the response variable ( the link function ) to vary linearly with the predicted values ( rather than assuming that the response itself must vary linearly ).

All systems performed satisfactorily, and the dynamic loads and structural response values were within the design limits and predicted values.
