 LOGISTIC
REGRESSION

Logistic Regression is a part of a family

of technique designed to analyze the
relationship between and  interval level
independent variable and a categorical
dependent variable. 
LOGISTIC REASEARCH APPROACH

We begin with a hypothetical example. Suppose we are investigating

whether education (x, independent) affects voter turnout (y,
dependent) among a random sample of respondents (n = 500). For
purposes of illustration, we will assume that the independent
variable, education, is an interval-level variable that varies from 0
(low) to 4 (high), and that voter turnout is a binary dependent
variable, coded 1 if the individual voted and 0 if he or she did not
vote.

Box 9-1 How to Interpret a Negative Relationship in
Logistic Regression?

Suppose we were to investigate the relationship

between the likelihood of voting and the
number of hours respondents spend watching
television per day. In this situation, we might
expect to find a negative relationship: The more
television that people watch, the less likely they
are to vote.

Independent variables
A political researcher wants to explain why some people
approve of same-sex marriage, whereas others
disapprove. Thinking that age plays a causal role, she
hypothesizes that as age increases, the likelihood of
disapproval will go up, that older people will be more
likely than younger people to disapprove of same-sex
marriage.
