Logistic Regression

For a binary response variable Y, the logistic regression has the form:

logistic

or equivalently,

logistic2

The logistic regression models the logit transformation of the ith observation's event probability, pi, as a linear function of the explanatory variables in the vector xi. The logistic regression model uses the logit as the link function.
