LOGISTIC REGRESSION

The document provides an overview of logistic regression, detailing its types, particularly binary and multinomial logistic regression, and their applications. It explains when to use binary logistic regression, emphasizing its suitability for dichotomous dependent variables and the importance of sample size. Additionally, it outlines the assumptions necessary for conducting logistic regression analysis.

֍ ASSUMPTIONS
INTRODUC
TION
֍ Form of regression that allows the
prediction of discrete variables by a mix
of continuous and discrete predictors.
֍ Addresses the same questions that
discriminant function analysis and
multiple regression do but with no
distributional assumptions on the
predictors (the predictors do not have to
be normally distributed, linearly related
or have equal variance in each group)
TYPES OF LOGISTIC
REGRESSION
֍ BINARY LOGISTIC
REGRESSION
It is used when the dependent variable
is dichotomous

֍ MULTINOMIAL LOGISTIC
REGRESSION
BINARY LOGISTIC
REGRESSION
EXPRESSION

Y = Dependent
Variables
Bo = Constant
B1 = Coefficient of
variable X1
WHEN & WHY BINARY LOGISTIC
REGRESSION
֍ When the dependent variable is non
parametric and we don't have
homoscedasticity (variance of DV and IV not
equal)
֍ Used when the dependent variable has
only two levels (Yes/no, male/female,
taken/not taken)
֍ If multivariate normality is suspected
WHO USES IT IN PLAN
֍
WORDS
Binary Logistic Regression can be used in the following

situations

֍ A catalog company wants to increase the proportion of

mailings that result in sales

֍ A doctor wants to accurately diagnose a possibly cancerous

tumor
SAMPLE
֍
SIZE
Very Small Samples Have So Much Sampling Errors

֍ Very Large Sample Size Decreases The Chances Of

Errors

֍ Logistic Requires Larger Sample Size Than Multiple

Regression

֍ Hosmer And Lamshow Recommended Sample Size


ASSUMPTIO
֍ No assumptions aboutNS
the distributions of the predicto
variables
֍ Predictors do not have to be normally distributed
֍ Does not have to be linearly related
֍ Does not have to have equal variance within each group
֍ There should be a minimum of 20 cases per predictor, with a
minimum of 60 total cases
֍ These requirements need to be satisfied prior to doing statistica
