Deforming them is tricky and the deformations must be integrated into the actual model. That is, without something like a non-linear deformation space, as this paper talks about.

Generalized linear models are widely used by data analysts. However, the choice of the link function is often made arbitrarily. Here we permit the data to estimate the link function by incorporating ...

In this chapter, we propose a log-linear model for the biases observed when analyzing model communities data. Our model expands the recent work from McLaren, Willis and Callahan (MWC) [eLife, 8:e46923 ...

We demonstrate the implementation of a variety of non-linear models that are more appropriate for modeling plant growth than are the traditional, linear, models.Ecological inference is frequently ...
