The ordinary least squares equations for model 2 are
For the Gamma generalized linear model, and , so its score equation under the logarithmic link is
When is close to ,
by the first-order Taylor expansion of the exponential function. The Gamma score equations then become the model-2 normal equations, so their coefficient estimates are close.
