Hypertension referrals from community pharmacy to general practice: multivariate logistic regression analysis of 131 419 patients

Bayesian multivariate logistic regression.

Bayesian analyses of multivariate binary or categorical outcomes typically rely on probit or mixed effects logistic regression models that do not have a marginal logistic structure for the individual outcomes. In addition, difficulties arise when simple noninformative priors are chosen for the covariance parameters. Motivated by these problems, we propose a new type of multivariate logistic dis...
