1 Scton 3: Logstc Rgrsson As our motvaton for logstc rgrsson, w wll consdr th Challngr dsastr, th sx of turtls, collg math placmnt, crdt card scorng, and markt sgmntaton. Th Challngr Dsastr On January 28, 1986 th spac shuttl, Challngr, had a catastrophc falur du to burnthrough of an O-rng sal at a jont n on of th sold-ful rockt boostrs. Ths was th 25th shuttl flght. Of th 24 prvous shuttl flghts, 7 had ncdnts of damag to jonts, 16 had no ncdnts of damag, and 1 was unknown. (Th data coms from rcovrd sold rockt boostrs th on that was unknown was not rcovrd.) Th quston w wsh to xamn s: Could damag to sold-rockt boostr fld jonts b rlatd to cold wathr at th tm of launch? Damag to Boostr Rockt Fld Jonts Blow ar data from th Prsdntal Commsson on th Spac Shuttl Challngr Accdnt (1986). Th data consst of th flght, tmpratur at th tm of launch ( F) and whthr or not thr was damag to th boostr rockt fld jonts (No = 0. Ys = 1).

2 Ovrall, thr wr 7 ncdncs of jont damag out of 23 flghts: 7 30%. Whn th 23 tmpratur was blow 65 F, all 4 shuttls had jont damag, 4 = 100%, and whn th 4 tmpratur was abov 65 F, only 3 out of 19 had jont damag, 3 16%. Is thr som 19 way to prdct th chanc of boostr fld jont damag gvn th tmpratur at launch? Th rspons varabl s th probablty of falur (damag) not ncssarly catastroph. Rcall that th tmpratur was 31 F on th day of th Challngr launch. Sx of Turtls as t Rlats to Incubaton Tmpratur Ths data ar courtsy of Prof. Kn Kohlr, Iowa Stat Unvrsty. What dtrmns th sx (mal or fmal) of turtls? Gntcs or nvronmnt? For a partcular spcs of turtls, tmpratur sms to hav a grat ffct on sx. Turtl ggs (all on spcs) wr collctd from Illnos and put nto boxs, wth svral ggs n ach box. Ths boxs wr ncubatd at dffrnt tmpraturs, wth thr boxs at ach tst tmpratur and tmpraturs rangng from 27.2 C to 29.9 C. Whn th ggs hatchd, th sx of ach turtl was dtrmnd.

Is thr som way to prdct th proporton of mal turtls gvn th ncubaton tmpratur? What th scntst wantd to know was at what tmpratur would thr b a 50/50 splt n mal/fmal. Othr stuatons naturally lad to analyss through logstc rgrsson. A fw xampls ar gvn blow: Collg Math Placmnt Us ACT or SAT scors to prdct whthr ndvduals would rcv a grad of B or bttr n an ntry lvl math cours and so should b placd n a hghr lvl math cours. Crdt Card Scorng Us varous dmographc and crdt hstory varabls to prdct f ndvduals wll b good or bad crdt rsks. Markt Sgmntaton Us varous dmographc and purchasng nformaton to prdct f ndvduals wll purchas from a catalog snt to thr homs. All of ths stuatons nvolv th da of prdcton, and all hav a bnary rspons, for nstanc, damag/no damag, or mal/fmal. On s ntrstd n prdctng a chanc, probablty, proporton, or prcntag. Unlk othr prdcton stuatons, th rspons s boundd wth 0 p 1. 28
4 Logstc Rgrsson Logstc rgrsson s a statstcal tchnqu that can b usd n bnary rspons problms. W wll nd to transform th rspons to us ths tchnqu what ls wll w nd to chang? W dfn our bnary rsponss as: Y = 1 damag to fld jont and Y = 0 no damag. Y = 1 mal turtl hatchd and Y = 0 fmal turtl hatchd. Y = 1 rcv a B or bttr and Y = 0 don't rcv a B or bttr. Y = 1 good crdt rsk and Y = 0 not good crdt rsk. Y = 1 wll purchas from catalog and Y = 0 wll not purchas from catalog. In ach stuaton, w ar ntrstd n prdctng th probablty that Y = 1 from th prdctor varabl. Hr w ar only ntrstd n fndng a prdcton modl. Infrnc s not an ssu. Th bnary form of th rspons ncssarly volats th normalty and qual varanc assumptons on th rrors, so f w wr to do nfrnc w would nd dffrnt mthods from thos usd n ordnary last squars rgrsson. W dnot Prob(Y = 1) = π and Prob(Y = 0) = 1 π and E( Y ) = 0( 1 π ) + 1( π ) = π W want to prdct PY ( = 1) = π from a gvn x-valu, x. Can w ft ths wth a lnar modl of th form E( Y X ) = β + β X = π 0 1? Thr ar a fw problms that dstngush ths from mor typcal rgrsson problms. 1. Thr s a constrant on th rspons, whch s boundd btwn 0 and 1, that s, 0 E( Y X ) = π 1 2. Thr s a non-constant varanc on th rspons. W know, snc ths s a bnomal stuaton, that Var( ε ) = Var( Y ) = π ( 1 π ). Consquntly, th varanc dpnds on th valu of X. 3. Non-normal rror trms: ε Y ( β0 X ) ε = 1 ( β + β X ) 0 1 = +. Whn Y = 1, w hav Whn th rspons varabl s bnary, or a bnomal proporton, th shap of th xpctd rspons s oftn a curv. Th S-shapd curv shown blow s known as th logstc curv. 29

As bfor, w wll us a transformaton to lnarz th data, ft a lnar modl to th transformd data, and r-wrt to rturn to th orgnal scal. What transformaton wll lnarz somthng as complcatd as th quaton abov?

Thn w fnd a lnar modl to ft of th form ln p = b + 0 bx 1. By back 1 p 1 p b0 + b1x transformng, w fnd th logstc modl wll b $π =. + b0 + b1x 1 Th tabl blow was cratd from th turtl data by combnng all 3 groups at ach tmpratur sttng, and usng th combnd proporton for th probablty of a mal, dnotd Pmal.

It has not, howvr, hlpd wth th problm of volatng assumptons on th rrors n Smpl Lnar Rgrsson. Consquntly, w can not us standard nfrnc mthods wth ths modl. Maxmum Lklhood Approach To mprov th qualty of th ft and allow for th us of nfrnc procdurs, w can us maxmum lklhood tchnqus rathr than th last squars mthods. Frst, dfn th n ( Y lklhood functon (( ) ) ( ) 1 Y L β0, ; Data π 1 π β0+ X ) =, wth π =. Not ( β0+ X ) = that whn Y = 1, ths factor s π ; whn Y = 0, ths factor s 1 π. Now, choos β 0 and β 1 so as to maxmz th lklhood for any gvn data. For Smpl Lnar Rgrsson, mnmzng th sum of squard rsduals s quvalnt to maxmzng a normal dstrbuton lklhood. To fnd th valus of β 0 and β 1 that maxmz th lklhood for ths lklhood functon gvn th prsnt data, us th Bnary Logstc Rgrsson command n Mntab. You wll fnd t undr. -Stat -Rgrsson -Bnary Logstc Rgrsson 33
9 Th procss usd to calculat th valus of β 0 and β 1 s an tratv procss that s byond th scop of ths cours. Th rsult of th calculaton s smlar to that from rgrsson: $ = X π Sx of Turtls Tmp Prdctd Logt Prdctd $π Fgur 23: Bnary Logstc Rgrsson graph Th coffcnts n a logstc rgrsson ar oftn dffcult to ntrprt bcaus th ffct of ncrasng X by on unt vars dpndng on th sz of X. Ths s th ssnc of a π nonlnar modl. Consdr frst th ntrprtaton of. Ths quantty gvs th odds. 1 π If π = 0. 75, thn th odds ar 3 to 1. Succss s thr tms as lkly as falur. In logstc rgrsson w modl th log-odds. Th prdctd log-odds, π$ s gvn n th turtl xampl by th lnar quaton: π$ = X $ $ π π Th prdctd odds for that valu of X s =. So f w ncras X 1 π$ by on unt, w multply th prdctd odds by $ β 1, or = 9.13 n th turtl xampl. At 27 dgrs th prdctd odds for a mal turtl ar approxmatly 0.20, about 1 to 5. That s, t s 5 tms mor lkly to b a fmal. At 28 dgrs th prdctd odds for a mal ar 9.13 tms bggr than at 27 dgrs, Now mals ar almost twc as lkly 34
10 as fmals. Th ntrcpt can b thought of as th log-odds whn X s zro. Th antlog of th ntrcpt may hav som manng as a basln log-odds, spcally f zro s wthn th rang of th orgnal data. Snc th tmpraturs consdrd run from about 27 to 30 dgrs, th valu of zro s wll outsd th rang of th data. Th ntrcpt, and ts antlog, hav no practcal ntrprtaton n ths xampl. On of th qustons w wantd to answr was, "At what tmpratur ar mals and fmals qually lkly?" In ths cas, th log-odds ar qual to 1. So, w can solv th quaton Assssng th Ft X = 1, so X = 28.2 dgrs So far w hav only lookd at stmatng paramtrs and prdctng valus. Th stmats and prdctons ar subjct to varaton. W must b abl to quantfy ths varaton n ordr to mak nfrncs. Just as n ordnary rgrsson, w nd som mans of assssng th ft of a logstc rgrsson modl and dtrmnng th sgnfcanc of coffcnts n that modl. For logstc rgrsson, th dvanc (also known as rsdual dvanc) s usd to assss th ft of th ovrall modl. Th dvanc for a logstc modl can b lknd to th rsdual sum of squars n ordnary rgrsson. Th smallr th dvanc th bttr th ft of th modl. Th dvanc can b compard to a ch-squar dstrbuton, whch approxmats th dstrbuton of th dvanc. Ths s an asymptotc rsult that rqurs larg sampl szs. Th dvanc for th combnd turtl data s on 3 dgrs of frdom. Th chanc that a χ 2 wth 3 dgrs of frdom xcds s Essntally w ar usng th dvanc to tst H : 0 ft s good vrsus Ha : ft s not good. Th p-valu of ndcats that th dvanc lft aftr th ft s too larg to conclud that th ft s good. Thus, thr s room for mprovmnt n th modl. Although thr s som lack of ft, dos tmpratur gv us statstcally sgnfcant nformaton about th sx of turtls va th logstc rgrsson? Look at th chang n dvanc whn tmpratur s addd to th modl. That s, compar dvanc whn th modl s smply πˆ = π to th dvanc from th logstc modl usng tmpratur as th xplanatory varabl. In Mntab ths s summarzd by G, th tst that all slops ar zro. G = on 1 dgr of frdom p-valu = Rjct th hypothss that th slop n th logstc rgrsson s zro Thus w can conclud that tmpratur dos gv us statstcally sgnfcant nformaton about th sx of turtls. 35
11 Altrnatv Tst Th rato of th stmatd coffcnt to ts standard rror, an approxmat z-statstc, can b usd to assss sgnfcanc. In ths stuaton, z = = 5.13 wth p = Both th z- and th G-statstc ndcat that tmpratur s statstcally sgnfcant. Snc sampl szs ar modrat, btwn 25 and 30, th p-valus drvd from thr tst wll b approxmat, at bst. In concluson, tmpratur s statstcally sgnfcant n th logstc rgrsson for th sx of turtls. Th logstc rgrsson may not provd th bst ft; othr modls may ft bttr. Th Challngr Dsastr Rvstd Usng th tchnqus of ths scton, w can ft a lnar modl to logts from th Challngr data. W wll rgroup th data by tmpratur nto ntrvals of 5 dgrs, usng th mdpont of ach ntrval for th ndpndant varabl. W also adjust th probablts a bt, rplacng 0 wth 0.01 and 1 wth 0.99, so w can tak logarthms for th logt ft. Thus, w hav th followng data:. Intrval (51, 55) (56, 60) (61, 65) (66, 70) (71, 75) (76, 80) (81, 85) Tmp Prob Logt Th graph of th transformd data wth th lnar ft s shown blow.
