  glm:
    text: glm
    description: 'An ordinary least-squares general linear model, including the summary-statistics
      two-stage approach that fMRI calls a random-effects analysis: the group stage
      is still a GLM on contrast images.'
  mixed_effects:
    text: mixed_effects
    description: A model estimating random effects directly, rather than by summarizing
      a first stage -- a linear mixed model, a hierarchical model.
  anova:
    text: anova
    description: Analysis of variance, with no continuous covariate.
  ancova:
    text: ancova
    description: 'Analysis of covariance: a factorial design with a continuous covariate
      controlled for.'
  robust_regression:
    text: robust_regression
    description: A regression fitted to resist outliers, such as an iteratively reweighted
      or M-estimator fit.
