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 ...

We calculate the asymptotic efficiency of logistic regression relative to linear discriminant analysis for testing hypotheses about the parameters when the explanatory variables are normally ...

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 ...
