Difference between Generalized linear modelling and regular logistic regression

Question

I am trying to perform logistic regression for my data. I came to know about glm. What is the actual difference between glm and regular logistic regression? What are the pros and cons of it?

Answer 1

Logistic Regression is a special case of Generalized Linear Models. GLMs is a class of models, parametrized by a link function. If you choose logit link function, you'll get Logistic Regression.
