Logistic Regression Using the SAS System : Theory and Application
The book treats logistic regression as the next topic in the regression methodology, so one is expected to have learned regression analysis already. Consistent with the author's social-science background, he begins with models for dichotomous responses. The logic model is treated as the solution to the problems one would encounter with using linear regression for binary response data. Both PROC LOGISTIC and PROC GENMOD are introduced. PROC REG is cleverly included, though, as a diagnostic for collinearity. The excellent binary data diagnostics in PROC LOGISTIC and PROC GENMOD are covered extensively. The probit model is also considered. --Eric Ziegel, Technometrics, Book Review EditorUsers of other software and other books are probably tired of my hype for these inexpensive books that integrate applied statistics and SAS procedures. This is another great applied-statistics and SAS-application guidebook, which should be essential to the library of anyone who uses SAS. --Eric Ziegel, Technometrics, Book Review Editor
