Logistic Regression Details Pt1: Coefficients

When you do logistic regression you have to make sense of the coefficients. These are based on the log(odds) and log(odds ratio), but, to be honest, the easiest way to make sense of these are through examples. In this StatQuest, I walk you though two Logistic Regression Examples, step-by-step, and show you exactly how the coefficients are derived and how to interpret them. NOTE: This StatQuest assumes that you are already familiar with...
