Real Statistics Data Analysis Tools

Although all the statistical analyses described on this website can be done with standard Excel capabilities, it is often easier to use the supplemental functions and data analysis tools provided in the Real Statistics Resource Pack. The functions provided in the Real Statistics Resource Pack are summarized in Real Statistics Functions. Here we briefly review … Read More

Finding Logistic Regression Coefficients via Newton’s Method

Using Newton’s Method with Summary Data Before turning our attention back to Example 1 of Basic Concepts of Logistic Regression, we first give some useful background. Property 1: The maximum of the log-likelihood statistic (from Definition 5 of Basic Concepts of Logistic Regression) occurs when the following k + 1 equations are satisfied.

Finding Logistic Regression Coefficients using Excel’s Solver

Objective We now show how to find the coefficients for the logistic regression model using Excel’s Solver capability (see also Goal Seeking and Solver). We start with Example 1 from Basic Concepts of Logistic Regression. Example Example 1 (Example 1 from Basic Concepts of Logistic Regression continued): From Definition 1 of Basic Concepts of Logistic Regression, … Read More

Logistic Regression

When the dependent variable is categorical it is often possible to show that the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables can be represented by using a logistic regression model. Using such a model, the value of the dependent variable can be predicted from the values of the independent variables. We review here binary … Read More
