Question
In which of the following situations would we use a logistic regression model? A. We would like to know if a child's development score (range 0-100) can be explained by their bilirubin level at birth. O B. We would like to know if a person will experience an adverse drug reaction based on their CRP level (interval/ratio). C. We would like to know if a student's depression score, as measured continuously by the CESD score, can be predicted by whether or not they are attending an ivy league university. D. both B and C are correct.Explanation / Answer
Answer : B. Pls see below detailed reasoning:
For a logistic regression , the dependent variable has to be a binomial variable.
a. has the development score as the dependent variable. Since this ranges from 1 to 100, it a conitnous variable. Hence, A can't be modelled by logistic model
b. Wether or not person will exp. adverse drug reaction is a binomial variable, and hence, B is correct
c. CESD score which is the dependent variable here, is a continous variable, and hence C can't be the answer
d. C is not incorrect, therefore D' not the answer
