Today, there are not many good measures for detecting influential observations in case of fitting a logistic regression model. So, the purpose this article is to extrapolate from pre-existing deletion diagnostics defined points multiple linear regression, i.e. DFFITS, DFBETAS and Cook's Distance scenario binary model then view multinomial as special same. The threshold determining whether an ob...

BACKGROUND Personal fitness trackers (PFT) have substantial potential to improve healthcare. OBJECTIVE To quantify and characterize early adopters who shared their PFT data with providers. METHODS We used bivariate statistics and logistic regression to compare patients who shared any PFT data vs. patients who did not. RESULTS A patient portal was used to invite 79,953 registered portal us...

This article proposes a method for multiclass classification problems using ensembles of multinomial logistic regression models. A multinomial logit model is used as a base classifier in ensembles from random partitions of predictors. The multinomial logit model can be applied to each mutually exclusive subset of the feature space without variable selection. By combining multiple models the pro...

In binary classification problems it is common for the two classes to be imbalanced: one case is very rare compared to the other. In this paper we consider the infinitely imbalanced case where one class has a finite sample size and the other class’s sample size grows without bound. For logistic regression, the infinitely imbalanced case often has a useful solution. Under mild conditions, the in...

In this report, several experiments have been conducted on a spam data set with Logistic Regression based on Gradient Descent approach. First, the overfitting effect is shown with basic settings (vanilla version). Then Stochastic Gradient Descent and 2-Norm Regularization techniques are both implemented with demonstration of the benefits of these two methods in preventing overfitting. Besides, ...

We introduce Graph-Sparse Logistic Regression, a new algorithm for classification for the case in which the support should be sparse but connected on a graph. We validate this algorithm against synthetic data and benchmark it against L1-regularized Logistic Regression. We then explore our technique in the bioinformatics context of proteomics data on the interactome graph. We make all our experi...

For the most part, this book concerns itself with measurement data and the corresponding analyses based on normal distributions. In this chapter and the next we consider data that consist of counts. Elementary count data were introduced in Chapter 5. Frequently data are collected on whether or not a certain event occurs. A mouse dies when exposed to a dose of chloracetic acid or it does not. In...

©FSRH J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2008: 34(3) What is it? When a response variable has only two possible values (e.g. recurrence/not), binary logistic regression is commonly used to test or model the association between that response and a number of potential explanatory variables, with each association estimated in terms of an odds ratio (OR). Multinomial logistic regression is an extension...

Logistic regression is used to obtain odds ratio in the presence of more than one explanatory variable. The procedure is quite similar to multiple linear regression, with the exception that the response variable is binomial. The result is the impact of each variable on the odds ratio of the observed event of interest. The main advantage is to avoid confounding effects by analyzing the associati...
