Applied Logistic Regression

This is a new seller, so I was somewhat hesitant - but I am fully satisfied.

I just finished reading ( well, learning) the first 2 chapters, while in parallel am writing the code ( programming with Mathematica) the formulas appearing in the book while trying to understand all the statistical background about Logistic Regression. I can only say that I enjoy every page of it, and I hope the rest of the book will be as entertaining as the first 2 chapters

I use logistic regression in fundraising analytics and find this text a necessary part of my library in order to perform my job well. While a touch too mathematical at times for me personally, it is still accessible to me, a person with a PhD in nonprofit leadership. I find critical nuggets in its pages that greatly aid my practical business applications.

Although the book is an applied on logistic regression, it is easy understood by anyone whose having no enough background and experience on statistics. Theories on basic statistical concepts are often boring and frightening, but this book makes learning statistics enjoyable.

This is an update of the classic text. Excellent reference for the basics of logistic regression. Should be on the bookshelf of anybody who uses the technique regularly.

Very easy to follow! I used it in my undergrad and masters and now I am using it as a faculty member. It is very simple to understand the idea of logistic regression, lots of examples help to see the theory behind it.

This book has everything you need to develop a logistic regression model. From a mathematician's point of view, I found the derivation insightful and helped bring a fuller understanding to the methods.

An update of the classic, required, text on logistic regression modeling. Contains important new enhancements practitioners and students should study.

If you want to know everything about applied logistic regression, and how to make the most out of utilising this method and more, this is by far the BEST book on the topic. It is advanced knowledge made readily available. Suitable for primary outcomes of individual randomised controlled trials, cluster randomised, cohort studies. I do not think that there is a group of authors' that know any more or any better on this topic other than these authors themselves. Other authors of other books do not seem in this league. A tome. Obviously, as it is in its third edition!

This text is often considered a classic in the field of logistic regression. Its outstanding step-by-step introduction of the methods needed, without concern for mathematical challenges for the reader nor glossing over intricate steps is noteworthy and laudable. A must-read.Having said that, there are some grave caveats. One: the authors spend an undue amount of space trying to shoehorn significance into the outcomes of logistic regression where there do not exist any (the authors repeatedly point out that these are approximations and quite often misleading/wrong). My advice: just discard all that and use (if need be) permutation and jack-knife testing. In all fairness: these significance issues were needed (despite their shortcomings) in a time when computer power was extremely expensive and occasionally unavailable. Times have changed, and the text should take these changes into consideration. The other caveat is more serious: the authors are quite cavalier about using logistic regression where the "predictor variable" is a categorical variable. Of course, one may not set up a logistic regression model where the predictor variable is not continuous. If the predictor variable is categorical: there exist other methods, most notably correspondence analysis. A shame that this book, which doubtless has become a classic and is certainly relied on by many researchers, still perpetuates this methodolological flaw, which does not invalidate logistic regression, but requires careful thinking about the nature of the data set.

Good book to have a thorough understanding of the concepts

Excelente y rápido

Really informatics.
