Binary logistic regression using SPSS (June 2019)

This video provides an overview of binary logistic regression and demonstrates how to carry out this analysis using example data in SPSS. A copy of the Powerpoint used in the video can be downloaded here:

Thank you very much, really great that you also spelled out how to report the results in the end of the video.

Thanks for bringing such a useful vidoe.

Anybody got a video that isn't just somebody reading a wall of text? Like... simple explanation so idiots like me can understand?

Hi, @05:55 you say that the reference category is male, which is coded "1", but you coded female as "1" not males... Am i wrong? I am trying to figure out whether i should choose "last" or "first" for reference category..

Hello Mike, Very educative tutorial, i highly appreciate. Just have a comment which have noted that at the 5:59 minute in the video yo mention the male category was coded one however it was coded zero hence the reference category should be last? or am i wrong?

Aren't we supposed to delete 'income' variable from the model since it's non-significant and then rerun the binary logistic regression to interpret the accuracy etc

Thank you so much for this lecture. It's very helpful!

I am new in spss.And you just saved Thank you much☺

Hi Mike, this is really helpful! Thank you. Any tips on how to do this with a 80/20 train test split on SPSS?

[kyawtunnaing]

Thanks for your presentation video. It is a great time. Next, I would like to view ordinal logistic regression if you have.

Thank you very much for really good explanation

Right now Im working on Credit Risk modelling using BLR and historical data of P2P lending platforms, like LendingClub for my Bachelor theses. Just wanted to ask : In my model I have more than 30. independent variables, when I make a regression in SPSS, some variables just disappear. Why is it happening? Thank You!

[georgiah]

Thank you so much! This is very helpful!

[dltyler]

Would love to ask a few simple questions about categorical variables in BLR models.

[crabbynebula]

what about the assumptions for doing binary logistic regression? Do you have any video showing how to test if there is any violation of the assumptions? I am stuck ( do not know how) to check that the observations are independent from each other.. maybe perform 8 times separately independent samples t-test for all my 8 predictors?

Thanks for the informative videos. I'm new to logistical regression and I find myself trying to wrap my head around how you choose the reference category and based on this what the output means. The example you used for gender is male is the reference category and male is coded as 1 and female 0. In lay terms what does it mean and how would you interpret Exp(B) of .221 Other videos have expressed it as a probability of males vs females. The example I'm using is the likelihood of an inmate being successful upon release e.g 1 = Successful and 0 = unsuccessful (return to prison) and the impact of participation in education programs while incarcerated. 0 = Didn't participate and 1 = did participate. Which would be the reference category? Any assistance is appreciated.

I am really thankful to have dicovered this video. It helps me a lot. Thank you very much.

Hi I'm encountering a weird issue on SPSS, my independent variable has 5 categories, think of it like multiple genders (but really it's serogroup data on a bacteria) and my dependent is just positive or negative for a certain gene. When I run the same settings you did, it only shows 4 categories in "Variables in the equation", how do I make it show all 5?
