Performing Exact Logistic Regression with the SAS R System
نویسنده
چکیده
Exact logistic regression has become an important analytical technique, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, since the usual asymptotic methods for analyzing small, skewed, or sparse data sets are unreliable. Inference based on enumerating the exact distributions of sufficient statistics for parameters of interest in a logistic regression model, conditional on the remaining parameters, is computationally infeasible for many problems. Hirji, Mehta, and Patel (1987) developed an efficient algorithm for generating the required conditional distributions, thus making these methods computationally available. This paper discusses the theory and methods for exact logistic regression and illustrates their application in Version 8 of the SAS R System with new facilities in the LOGISTIC procedure.

متن کاملelrm: Software Implementing Exact-like Inference for Logistic Regression Models
Exact inference is based on the conditional distribution of the sufficient statistics for the parameters of interest given the observed values for the remaining sufficient statistics. Exact inference for logistic regression can be problematic when data sets are large and the support of the conditional distribution cannot be represented in memory. Additionally, these methods are not widely imple...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Markov Chain Exact Inference for Binomial Regression Models
Current methods for conducting exact inference for logistic regression are not capable of handling large data sets due to memory constraints caused by storing large networks. We provide and implement an algorithm which is capable of conducting (approximate) exact inference for large data sets. Various application fields, such as genetic epidemiology, in which logistic regression models are fit ...
متن کاملAn application of principal component analysis and logistic regression to facilitate production scheduling decision support system: an automotive industry case
Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms, simulation approaches, and heuristic methods are extensive in production planning, they seem to be ineff...
