[edit] Multiple regression vs GLM

Hmm, is the article in error? I've been taught that GAMs are extensions of Generalized Linear Models, not multiple regressions. Specifically, instead of the mean being a sum of component functions, it need only be related by a link function. (This construction contains the one given in the article.) --Fangz (talk) 15:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
