GLIM (an acronym for Generalized Linear Interactive Modelling) is a statistical software program for fitting generalized linear models (GLMs). It was developed by the Royal Statistical Society's Working Party on Statistical Computing (later renamed the GLIM Working Party),[1] chaired initially by John Nelder.[2] It was first released in 1974 with the last major release, GLIM4, in 1993.[3] GLIM was distributed by the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG).[4]
GLIM was notable for being the first package capable of fitting a wide range of generalized linear models in a unified framework, and for encouraging an interactive, iterative approach to statistical modelling.[5] GLIM used a command-line interface and allowed users to define their own macros. Many articles in academic journals were written about the use of GLIM.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] GLIM was reviewed in The American Statistician in 1994, along with other software for fitting generalized linear models.[13]
The GLIMPSE system was later developed to provide a knowledge based front-end for GLIM.[14]
GLIM is no longer actively developed or distributed.
