On Motivating the Choice of Link Function in Binomial Regression Through A Latent Abundance Process
Ecologists commonly apply binomial regression to study binary data. Often, the link function in binomial regression is not purposefully chosen, but instead selected on the grounds of interpretation or computation efficiency. However, if the binary response is the result of a latent abundance process, then the link function implies assumptions for this underlying process. The most well-known…
