Variance Function new article content ...

In statistics, the variance function is a representation of the variance used in generalized linear models and other areas, as a function of the mean. allows for response variables that have error distribution models other than a normal distribution. The GLM generalizes linear regression by allowing the linear model to be related to the response variable via a link function and by allowing the magnitude of the variance of each measurement to be a function of its predicted value.
