Показать описание
This video introduces the method and discusses how it differs from linear regression. It shows a simple example with one explanatory variable to illustrate how the method works and how the results can be interpreted using either log-odds, odds or predicted probabilities.

Hi Dr Heini Väisänen, this is by far the best ever binary logistic regression explanation I've ever come across. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this great video!! At the beginning you mentioned that the EV can be on an ordinal scale too. However, is that totally correct? Because is it correct to interpret the beta coefficient (e.g., a unit increase in X increases the log odds by beta units) when the one-unit steps at the EV are not the same for each EV category (as common for ordinal-scaled variables)? For me, this makes only sense if you treat it as a dummy-coded variable (with one reference category) as you did in the video, but not, if you just put it in as a "normal" covariate (because then it is treated as continous).
