  2. Perspective • Research Techniques • Accessing, Examining and Saving Data • Univariate Analysis – Descriptive Statistics • Constructing (Manipulating) Variables • Association – Bivariate Analysis • Association – Multivariate Analysis • Comparing Group Means – Bivariate • Multivariate Analysis - Regression

  3. Lecture 8 Multivariate Analysis With Logistic Regression

  4. Logistic Regression • Analyzes relationships of multiple independent variables to one dependent variable • Unlike in linear regression, the dependent variable must be binary, a categorical variable with 2 categories • If the variable is not binary, it can be recoded to a binary form • It estimates the probability that an event will occur

  5. A Bivariate Example • Relationship between political orientation and gun ownership • Use the GSS98 dataset

  6. A Bivariate Example • First Step: • Examine the structure of the dependent and independent variables. Ensure that: • The dependent variable, OWNGUN, is binary • The independent variable, POLVIEWS, is numerical

  7. A Bivariate Example

  8. A Bivariate Example

  9. A Bivariate Example

  10. A Bivariate Example • OWNGUN is a categorical variable with 2 values: NO & YES • The remaining values are coded as missing

  11. A Bivariate Example • POLVIEWS should be numerical • It is really an ordinal variable but it can be considered numeric

  12. A Bivariate Example • Second Step: • Test the relationship • Analyze • Regression • Binary Logistic • Dependent: OWNGUN • Covariates: POLVIEWS • OK

  13. A Bivariate Example

  14. A Bivariate Example

  15. A Bivariate Example

  16. A Bivariate Example The logistic regression coefficients (B) indicate the direction and strength of the relationship They represent the effect of a one unit change in the level of POLVIEWS on the log-odds of OWNGUN. The relationship is positive (0.19): the more conservative a person is, the more likely he/she will own a gun The odds ratio (Exp(B)) is how many times higher the odds of occurrence are for each one-unit increase in POLVIEWS: 1.21

  17. Making Predictions • What is the probability of gun ownership for someone extremely conservative (POLVIEWS=7)? • Log-odds = A + B(X) • Odds = Exp(A + B(X)) • But Probability = Odss/1 + Odds • Probability = (Exp(A+b(X))/1+Exp(A+B(X)) • Probability = (Exp(-1.379+0.19(7))/(1+Exp(-1.379+0.19(7)) = 0.95/1.95 = 0.49

  18. Graphing the Regression line • Find the predicted probabilities for different values of the independent variable • Plot the values

  28. Graphing the Regression line Graph is central portion of sigmoid curve: probability of 0.2 to 0.5

  29. Graphing the Regression line The model Chi Square tests if the model predicts occurrence better than simple chance: P<0.001

  30. Multivariate Logistic Regression • Ensure all variables are structured correctly

  50. Multivariate Logistic Regression • Many variables are statistically significant: • Conservative values increase likelihood of owning a gun • Having children increases the probability of having a gun
