Abstract
We have seen from Examples 1.1–1.6 that the status of many health conditions is represented by a binary response. Because of its practical importance, analyzing a binary response has been the subject of countless works; see, e.g., the books of Cox and Snell (1989), Agresti (1990), and the references therein. For comparison purposes, we give a brief introduction to logistic regression.
