The data doctor continues his exploration of Python-based machine learning techniques, explaining binary classification using logistic regression, which he likes for its simplicity. The goal of a ...

We consider estimation of mixed-effects logistic regression models for longitudinal data when missing outcomes are not missing at random. A typology of missingness mechanisms is presented that ...

Modern statistical modelling is increasingly focused on reducing bias and enhancing the accuracy of parameter estimates. Traditional maximum likelihood estimation, while powerful, can encounter ...

In epidemiological studies, continuous covariates often are measured with error and categorical covariates often are misclassified. Using the logistic regression ...

In recent columns we showed how linear regression can be used to predict a continuous dependent variable given other independent variables 1,2. When the dependent variable is categorical, a common ...

Logistic regression is a powerful statistical method that is used to model the probability that a set of explanatory (independent or predictor) variables predict data in an outcome (dependent or ...
