Opis

Written in an informal and non-technical style, this book first explains the theory behind logistic regression and then shows how to implement it using the SAS System. Allison includes several detailed, real-world examples of the social sciences to provide readers with a better understanding of the material. He also explores the differences and similarities among the many generalizations of the logistic regression model.
