The intermediate endpoint effect in logistic and probit regression.

BACKGROUND An intermediate endpoint is hypothesized to be in the middle of the causal sequence relating an independent variable to a dependent variable. The intermediate variable is also called a surrogate or mediating variable and the corresponding effect is called the mediated, surrogate endpoint, or intermediate endpoint effect. Clinical studies are often designed to change an intermediate o...

Prediction of unwanted pregnancies using logistic regression, probit regression and discriminant analysis

  Background: Unwanted pregnancy not intended by at least one of the parents has undesirable consequences for the family and the society. In the present study, three classification models were used and compared to predict unwanted pregnancies in an urban population.   Methods : In this cross-sectional study, 887 pregnant mothers referring to health centers in Khorramabad, Iran, in 2012 were ...

Robust Logistic and Probit Methods for Binary and Multinomial Regression.

In this paper we introduce new robust estimators for the logistic and probit regressions for binary, multinomial, nominal and ordinal data and apply these models to estimate the parameters when outliers or inluential observations are present. Maximum likelihood estimates don't behave well when outliers or inluential observations are present. One remedy is to remove inluential observations from ...

Robit Regression: A Simple Robust Alternative to Logistic and Probit Regression

Logistic and probit regression models are commonly used in practice to analyze binary response data, but the maximum likelihood estimators of these models are not robust to outliers. This paper considers a robit regression model, which replaces the normal distribution in the probit regression model with a t-distribution with a known or unknown number of degrees of freedom. It is shown that (i) ...
