A warning concerning the estimation of multinomial logistic models with correlated responses in SAS
Kuss and McLerran in a paper in this journal provide SAS code for the estimation of multinomial logistic models for correlated data. Their motivation derived from two papers that recommended to estimate such models using a Poisson likelihood, which is according to Kuss and McLerran "statistically correct but computationally inefficient". Kuss and McLerran propose several estimating methods. Som...
متن کاملOn Eliciting Logistic Normal Priors for Multinomial Models
Multinomial models arise when there is a set of complementary and mutually exclusive categories and each observation falls into one of these categories. Such models are used in many scientific and industrial applications. For example, they are frequently applied to the compositions of rocks in geology, to patterns of consumer selection preferences in microeconomics, and to voting behavior in po...
متن کاملMultinomial logistic regression
Multinomial logistic regression is the extension for the (binary) logistic regression when the categorical dependent outcome has more than two levels. For example, instead of predicting only dead or alive, we may have three groups, namely: dead, lost to follow-up, and alive. In the analysis to follow, a reference group has to be chosen for comparison, the appropriate group would be the alive, i...
متن کاملMultinomial Logistic Regression Ensembles
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...
متن کاملDealing with Separation in Logistic Regression Models
When facing small numbers of observations or rare events, political scientists often encounter separation, in which explanatory variables perfectly predict binary events or non-events. In this situation, maximum likelihood provides implausible estimates and the researcher might want incorporate some form of prior information into the model. The most sophisticated research uses Jeffreys’ invaria...
