Logistic regression

February 19th, 2007, 10:46 am

I am trying to use logistic regression analysis for determining the variables that define certain event. For instance Default or no default condition. Unfortunatly i do not have much knowledge of stats. Could you help me with this i mean can you tell me if i logistically regress a variable then what test should i perform to make sure that this is the data that i need to use in my regression (multi variate) model. I have applied logistic regression book do you think that book captures the whole concept that I am talking about. I will appreciate any help from your sideRegardsHumayun R.

Humayun, logistic regression model can be expressed as Y = XBeta + error, which is identical to the standard regression model. The only difference is that the Y vector is a result of a transformation by the logit function mapping from [0,1] to [-inf,inf]. So you can use all the same model tests that would apply in standard multivariate regression.
