Logistic Regression Modelspresents an overview of the full range of logistic models, including binary, proportional, ordered, partially ordered, and unordered categorical response regression procedures. Other topics discussed include panel, survey, skewed, penalized, and exact logistic models. The text illustrates how to apply the various models to health, environmental, physical, and social science data. Examples illustrate successful modeling The text first provides basic terminology and concepts, before explaining the foremost methods of estimation (maximum likelihood and IRLS) appropriate for logistic models. It then presents an in-depth discussion of related terminology and examines logistic regression model development and interpretation of the results. After focusing on the construction and interpretation of various interactions, the author evaluates assumptions and goodness-of-fit tests that can be used for model assessment. He also covers binomial logistic regression, varieties of overdispersion, and a number of extensions to the basic binary and binomial logistic model. Both real and simulated data are used to explain and test the concepts involved. The appendices give an overview of marginal effects and discrete change as well as a 30-page tutorial on using Stata commands related to the examples used in the text. Stata is used for most examples while R is provided at the end of the chapters to replicate examples in the text. Apply the models to your own data Data files for examples and questions used in the text as well as code for user-authored commands are provided on the book's website, formatted in Stata, R, Excel, SAS, SPSS, and Limdep. See Professor Hilbe discuss the book.
This book is about making machine learning models and their decisions interpretable.
Ordinal measures provide a simple and convenient way to distinguish among possible outcomes. The book provides practical guidance on using ordinal outcome models.
Practical Guide to Logistic Regression covers the key points of the basic logistic regression model and illustrates how to use it properly to model a binary response variable.
This text realistically deals with model uncertainty and its effects on inference to achieve "safe data mining".

Apply the models to your own dataFrom binary to multinomial, panel, survey, and exact models, this text covers all types of logistic regression models.
Informal and nontechnical, this book both explains the theory behind logistic regression, and looks at all the practical details involved in its implementation using SAS. Several real-world examples are included in full detail.
They often say the book reads like they are listening to an outstanding lecturer. This edition includes three new chapters, an updated computer appendix, and an expanded section about modeling guidelines that consider causal diagrams.
