Generalized linear models are widely used by data analysts. However, the choice of the link function is often made arbitrarily. Here we permit the data to estimate the link function by incorporating ...

Deforming them is tricky and the deformations must be integrated into the actual model. That is, without something like a non-linear deformation space, as this paper talks about.

Six non-linear growth functions were fitted to tree height-diameter data of ten conifer species collected in the inland Northwest of the United States. The data sets represented a wide range of tree ...
