The general linear model.

Abstract

Our discussion of the General Linear Model (GLM) falls into two major sections. The first is concerned with classical use of the GLM in geography, so called because the techniques are employed in a manner scarcely differing from that found in disciplines not sharing the geographer's interest in spatial relationships. In the second section, attention focuses on special applications of the GLM in which spatial and temporal components are explicitly incorporated, and we will call these space-time models. The rest of this introduction briefly describes the GLM.-from Author
