Variable Selection for Multivariate Logistic Regression Models
In this paper, we use multivariate logistic regression models to incorporate correlation among binary response data. Our objective is to develop a variable subset selection procedure to identify important covariates in predicting correlated binary responses using a Bayesian approach. In order to incorporate available prior information, we propose a class of informative prior distributions on th...
متن کاملOptimization of Beam Orientation and Weight in Radiotherapy Treatment Planning using a Genetic Algorithm
Introduction: The selection of suitable beam angles and weights in external-beam radiotherapy is at present generally based upon the experience of the planner. Therefore, automated selection of beam angles and weights in forward-planned radiotherapy will be beneficial. Material and Methods: In this work, an efficient method is presented within the MATLAB environment to investigate how to improv...
متن کاملVariable Selection in Logistic Regression: The British English Dative Alternation
In this paper, we address the problem of selecting the ‘optimal’ variable subset in a logistic regression model for a medium-sized data set. As a case study, we take the British English dative alternation, where speakers and writers can choose between two (equally grammatical) syntactic constructions to express the same meaning. With the help of 29 explanatory variables taken from the literatur...

A NEW APPROACH FOR PARAMETER ESTIMATION IN FUZZY LOGISTIC REGRESSION
Logistic regression analysis is used to model categorical dependent variable. It is usually used in social sciences and clinical research. Human thoughts and disease diagnosis in clinical research contain vagueness. This situation leads researchers to combine fuzzy set and statistical theories. Fuzzy logistic regression analysis is one of the outcomes of this combination and it is used in situa...
