Analysis of data in nephrology. VI. The generalised linear model.
This is the last of six articles describing how to choose the appropriate statistical test to look for relationships between two variables. It shows that when the response variable is dichotomous and the explanatory variable is continuous it may not be appropriate to carry out a t-test. Some comments are made on extending the tests considered to more complex situations.
