Описание книги

Elementary Regression Modeling by Roger A. Wojtkiewicz builds on simple differences between groups to explain regression and regression modeling. User-friendly and immediately accessible, this book gives readers a thorough understanding of control modeling, interaction modeling, modeling linearity with spline variables, and creating research hypotheses that serve as a conceptual basis for many of the processes and procedures quantitative researchers follow when conducting regression analyses.

To Elaine.

My second purpose was to provide a source on how to do regression modeling in social science research. I define regression modeling in my book as the use of one or more regression equations to examine a particular coefficient in greater depth. To do that, we need to address research hypotheses. The many books on regression analysis cover well the standard continuous, cloud-of-points approach to explaining regression analysis, technical issues in regard to estimating appropriate regression models given the data at hand, and advanced methods for doing regression analysis. However, what has not been addressed thoroughly is how to use a series of multiple regression equations to examine the contributions of control variables, different approaches to estimating interaction effects, and methods for examining linearity in regression effects.

The odds ratio in horse racing describes a horse’s chances of losing. An odds of 4:1 indicates that a horse is expected to lose four times for each win.

However, the dependent variable in logistic regression is not the odds, which would be difficult enough to interpret, but the dependent variable is the log odds, where the log is taken to the base e and is thus the natural logarithm (ln):
