Logistic regressionΒΆ

Logistic regression (logit model) is a generalized linear model used for binomial regression. Logistic regression applies maximum likelihood estimation after transforming the dependent into a logit variable. A logit is the natural log of the odds of the dependent equaling a certain value or not (usually 1 in binary logistic models, the highest value in multinomial models). In this way, logistic regression estimates the odds of a certain event (value) occurring.
