The phrase "a linear link" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a direct or straightforward connection between two points, concepts, or elements.
Example: "The study established a linear link between increased exercise and improved mental health."
Alternatives: "a direct connection" or "a straightforward relationship".
Robust standard errors and an exchangeable correlation matrix with a linear link were employed.
To test the relationship of harvest to mortality (which was approximately binomially distributed), we used quasi-AICc (QAICc) values, with variances adjusted for over-dispersion using the estimated value of c-hat from a quasi-binomial model with a linear link function, and taking the number of population means (N = 48) as the sample size to avoid pseudo-replication.
By specifying a linear link, a value of 0.33, say, for coefficient β5, means that for every test for which influenza A was confirmed, 0.33 additional tests, on average, were performed on truly influenza A positive specimens and found to be negative – which corresponds to a sensitivity of 75%.
A linear link function was chosen to maintain a linear relationship between viral activity and absenteeism due to influenza.
Given the skewed nature of the cost distribution, we used negative binomial regression models with a linear link function that provided absolute values in CHF as estimates.
A linear link and normal error structure were used for the LOS, and a logit link and binomial error structure were used for 90-day mortality.
We used a multivariate generalised linear model with a Poisson assumption, log linear link function, and robust standard errors estimation to calculate adjusted relative risks.
The individual course of disease in RA is not a simple linear linking of two observations, as clinical trial charts often give cause to believe.
First, we fitted a Poisson regression with a log-linear link to the actual DAMAT data.
Horizontal linear link displacement, ( h_{2} ).
Vertical linear link displacement, ( h_{1} ).
