An Entropy-Based Approach to Path Analysis of Structural Generalized Linear Models: A Basic Idea

A path analysis method for causal systems based on generalized linear models is proposed by using entropy. A practical example is introduced, and a brief explanation of the entropy coefficient of determination is given. Direct and indirect effects of explanatory variables are discussed as log odds r...
