Synopsis:

1.Generalized linear models: exponential family, regularity conditions, score function.

2.Estimation of parameters: maximum likelihood estimates, numerical methods used for their calculation, Newton-Raphson, Fisher-scoring algorithm.

3.Testing of models: asymptotic distribution of the score function and the MLE estimates, models comparisons, residual analysis, diagnostic of influential observations.
