I'm trying to understand the concept of likelihood in the context of Generalized Linear Models (GLM). Could you explain what likelihood means in this specific statistical framework?

It measures the relative probability, assigning higher values to parameter sets that are more probable to have yielded the given data.

This approach is particularly useful in situations where the exact distribution of the data is unknown or complex, as it allows for estimation without assuming a specific form.
