Logistic-regression-in-R

Logistic regression is a statistical analysis method to predict a binary outcome, such as yes or no, based on prior observations of a data set. A logistic regression model predicts a dependent data variable by analyzing the relationship between one or more existing independent variables. For example, in health, Logistic regression can also be used in the following areas: • To identify risk factors and plan preventive measures; • In drug research to tease apart the effectiveness of medicines on health outcomes across age, gender and ethnicity;
