What is Logistic Regression? http: //video. mynet. com/1982 yucel/Arabic-Super-hits-Belly. Dance/1447061/ start at 1: 02 Logistic regression allows prediction of group membership, for example, prediction of whether someone is a belly dancer based on gender, occupational category, preferred type of reading material and age. Logistic regression allows to evaluate the odds (the probability) of membership in the group of belly dancers based on the combination of values of the predictor variables, 25 year old female sports professor, teaching hip-hop and reading dance books EURAM Istanbul - Dr Ursula Schinzel 26 -29 June 2013 13
Logistic Regression Definition: Logistic Regression is a statistical method used to model the relationship between a qualitative dependent variable – like for example ‘happiness’ – and a combination of independent variables – like for example ‘taking risk’, ‘free time for life’, ‘level of education’ ‘job level manager or nonmanager’, ‘state of health’, ‘religion’ Logistic Regression is calculated in SPSS is a computer program from IBM. SPSS means ‘Statistical Package for the Social Sciences’. Between 2009 and 2010 it was called PASW – ‘Predictive Analytics Soft. Ware’ EURAM Istanbul - Dr Ursula Schinzel 26 -29 June 2013 14
