... Since the term "linear" in generalized linear models" may be confusing to some, it should be noted that ~linear" here means linear in the Parameters; explanatory variables may have nonlinear effects on the response variables. Where we postulate linearity and additivity, we do so for two reasons.

... For this reason, we examine the macro data for a potential relationship between the micro socioeconomic coefficients of the EF equation and level of socioeconomic development (for which Table 2.2 contains the only zero entry)

... Tn any case, these are nuisance parameters for immediate purposes, and are insignificant in the AFB, EF, and LF regressions for Korea. 11TO illustrate the potential relevance of other macro variables, it may be noted that Peru does appear to have shorter average breastfeeding than Korea; this difference could account for the difference in EF intercepts between the countries (World Fertility Survey, 1979, 1980~.

... Future research will present such information, and will do so for coefficients estimated using more efficient procedures than were available when the work reported here was in progress. 17Mauldin et al.
