Applied Logistic Regression

This new edition provides a focused introduction to the LR model and its use in methods for modeling the relationship between a dichotomous outcome variable and a set of covariables. It presents expanded coverage on random effects models, estimation in the presence of interaction, and fractional polynomials; offers discussions on Bayesian logistic regression, likelihood based confidence interval estimates, tests for non-nested models, and multivariable fractional polynomials; includes R language and updated SAS, STATA, and BUGS computer code for analyzing data sets; and more.
