Abstract
Logistic regression is a technique similar to multiple regression with the new feature that the predicted response is a probability. Logistic regression is appropriate in the often-encountered situation where we wish to model a dependent variable which is either
-
dichotomous: The dependent variable can assume only the two possible values 0 and 1 (often as a coding of a two-valued categorical variable such as Male/Female or Treatment/Control).
-
sample proportion: The dependent variable is a probability and hence confined to the interval (0, 1).
