Is there a big difference between general linear model and generalized linear model?
I am quite confused a bit with the two.

3Yes, see here and here or even here. A quick search on this site also reveals this. Given the last link, this question is possibly a duplicate. – Stefan Mar 30 '17 at 04:10

4There's a couple of related posts How does the generalized linear model generalize the general linear model? and General Linear Model vs. Generalized Linear Model (with an identity link function?); between them they might help, ... ctd – Glen_b Mar 30 '17 at 04:16

3ctd... but neither quite seems to serve as an ideal introductory level explanation of the two side-by-side (the first takes general linear models as given, the second treats the second as a generalization of the first, which is broadly though not strictly correct but perhaps not the clearest way to deal with your question). Have a read of the links; if they don't cover what you need perhaps you can clarify your question a little to clearly identify what you most need explained. It might be worth having a question with this specific title on site. – Glen_b Mar 30 '17 at 04:16

@Glen_b according the the comments seems my understanding of general linear model is not correct. – Haitao Du Mar 30 '17 at 04:16

@hxd1011 Glen's links are good. Your answer doesn't address the link function and response distribution. You only gave some R examples. – SmallChess Mar 30 '17 at 05:43
