GLMcat

Generalized Linear Models for Categorical Responses

v1.0.0 · Sep 4, 2025 · GPL-3

Description

In statistical modeling, there is a wide variety of regression models for categorical dependent variables (nominal or ordinal data); yet, there is no software embracing all these models together in a uniform and generalized format. Following the methodology proposed by Peyhardi, Trottier, and Guédon (2015) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asv042>, we introduce 'GLMcat', an R package to estimate generalized linear models implemented under the unified specification (r, F, Z). Where r represents the ratio of probabilities (reference, cumulative, adjacent, or sequential), F the cumulative cdf function for the linkage, and Z, the design matrix. The package accompanies the paper "GLMcat: An R Package for Generalized Linear Models for Categorical Responses" in the Journal of Statistical Software, Volume 114, Issue 9 (see <doi:10.18637/jss.v114.i09>).
