Measures of Fit for Logistic Regression

چکیده

One of the most common questions about logistic regression is “How do I know if my model fits the data?” There are many approaches to answering this question, but they generally fall into two categories: measures of predictive power (like R-square) and goodness of fit tests (like the Pearson chi-square). This presentation looks first at R-square measures, arguing that the optional R-squares reported by PROC LOGISTIC might not be optimal. Measures proposed by McFadden and Tjur appear to be more attractive. As for goodness of fit, the popular Hosmer and Lemeshow test is shown to have some serious problems. Several alternatives are considered.

The Effect of Transitive Closure on the Calibration of Logistic Regression for Entity Resolution

This paper describes a series of experiments in using logistic regression machine learning as a method for entity resolution. From these experiments the authors concluded that when a supervised ML algorithm is trained to classify a pair of entity references as linked or not linked pair, the evaluation of the model’s performance should take into account the transitive closure of its pairwise lin...

A NEW APPROACH FOR PARAMETER ESTIMATION IN FUZZY LOGISTIC REGRESSION

Logistic regression analysis is used to model categorical dependent variable. It is usually used in social sciences and clinical research. Human thoughts and disease diagnosis in clinical research contain vagueness. This situation leads researchers to combine fuzzy set and statistical theories. Fuzzy logistic regression analysis is one of the outcomes of this combination and it is used in situa...

Comparing Multi-level and Ordinary Logistic Regression Models in Evaluating Factors Related to Periodontal Clinical Attachment Loss

Background and Objectives: Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral health problems. Clinical attachment loss occurs in sever periodontal cases (CAL>3). In this study, we applied a classic regression model and the models that consider the hierarchical structure of the data to estimate and compare the effect of different factors on CAL.   Methods: This cross-sectional study was perfo...
