The Analysis of Binary Data: Logistic Model II
The three basic features of the logistic regression model are the appropriateness of binary outcome variables, estimation of adjusted odd ratios as a measure of association, and the effective analysis of both continuous and discrete risk factors. This chapter focuses on the last property. A logistic model allows the analysis of risk factors measured in their original units, producing a less arbitrary and more powerful analysis.
