Binomial Logistic Regression:
Introduction
According to SPSS Help, Logistic Regression:
is useful for situations in which you want to be able to predict the presence or absence of a characteristic or outcome based on values of a set of predictor variables. It is similar to a linear regression model but is suited to models where the dependent variable is dichotomous. Logistic regression coefficients can be used to estimate odds ratios for each of the independent variables in the model.
Introduction
This tutorial will use logistic regression to determine if the year of matriculation, gender, and US Medical Licensing Exam (Part 2) scores be used to predict whether or not physicians are board-certified in a primary care specialty (Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Ob-Gyn).
Introduction
Independent variables (covariates) matyr: Matriculation year (continuous) gender: Gender of student (1 = female, 2 = male) usmle2: USMLE Step 2 (continuous) Dependent variable primcare: Board certified in Primary Care specialty

Specifying Options
In SPSS, you can display information by right-clicking, but right-clicking doesnt work in this tutorial. To see what would happen, left-click the box for Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit.

Selecting a Method of Entry

The covariates can be entered into the analysis using six different methods. This tutorial includes the Enter and Forward: LR methods. Choose one of the following: Click the printer for an important note about printing output with classification plots.
Enter Forward: LR
32
Enter Method
Enter is the default
method of entering covariates. Click the OK button to run the procedure.

Printing Logistic Regression Output

SPSS WILL CRASH if you try to print logistic regression output which includes classification plots. You can avoid this problem by printing the output in two parts. Click the button to learn how. For more information, click the link below:
http://www.spss.com/tech/answer/result.cfm?tech_tan_id=100007850

The classification plot(s) must be printed separately from the rest of the output. In SPSS, you would begin by right-clicking the plot, but right-clicking doesnt work in this tutorial. Click the classification plot.

Right-clicking opens the shortcut menu. Click SPSS Rtf
Document Object.
68

Right-clicking opens the shortcut menu. Click SPSS Rtf
Document Object.
Then point to
Open
69

Right-clicking opens the shortcut menu. Point to
SPSS Rtf Document Object.
Then point to
Open
and click

Print the plot from this new window. Click File This output file has been saved as
logistic (enter 3).spo
Your window will be different.


Print the plot from this new window. Click File Then point to Print
72

Print the plot from this new window. Click File Then point to Print Click to print the plot Of course, the plot wont print from this tutorial!
73

Close the window. Click File
74

Close the window. Click File Then click
Exit & Return to (the file
name--in this example)

logistic (enter 3).spo

In SPSS you would delete the classification plot (still selected) by pressing the delete key, but that wont work in this tutorial.

Print the rest of the output as usual, either from the File menu or by clicking the print button on the toolbar.
Remember, you cant print from the tutorial.
