## Simple logistic regression on qualitative dichotomic variables

August 20, 2009
By

In this post we will see briefly how to implement a logistic regression model if you have categorical variables, or qualitative, organized in double entry contingency tables. In this model the dependent variable (Y) and independent variable (X) are both dichotomies (or Bernoullian).In general, the probability that Y = 1 as a function of predictors is:$$P(Y=1|X=x)=\pi(x)=\frac{exp(\beta_0+\beta_1x_1+\cdots +\beta_kx_k)}{1+exp(\beta_0+\beta_1x_1+\cdots +\beta_kx_k)}$$Our goal...

Well, I had never heard about it, but this morning I was looking for some information about another package and I found and article about this interesting package at 'The R-Journal' (http://journal.r-project.org/), it was on the Vol. 8/2, October 2008, by Yihui Xie and Xiaoyue Cheng, and it says something like..."The animation package (Xie, 2008) uses graphical andother...
