Abstract The general linear model, which incorporates statistical analyses, such as ordinary least squares regression, t‐test, and analysis of variance, is based on a series of assumptions about the independent variables, the dependent variable, and the error terms. Because these assumptions are often violated in the analysis of categorical data, alternative techniques should be employed. This entry reviews regression models which are adequate for the analysis of categorical dependent variables.
