I am experiencing some cognitive dissonance about what 'linear in the parameters' means. For example, here and here.

For example, my understanding is $y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1\beta_2x_1 + \exp(\beta_3)(x_2)^2 + \epsilon$ is not linear in the parameters, because it has two parameter random variables variables multiplied together (namely ${\beta_1, \beta_2}$).

If $\beta_1$ (say) was replaced with $\gamma_1$, a constant, it would be.

Appreciate if someone could clarify this point.

GLMs must be 'linear in the parameters'
