[R] Testing for Significance Between Logistic Regressions
This is more of a statistics question with implementation implications. I have used R to calculate logistic regressions for various characterstics. I would now like to verify that the difference between a particular subset is significantly different from the logistic regression of the entire set. Example. I have a logistic regression containing every running back drafted between 1980-2000. I have created an object, logistic.glm. I also have an object, sec.glm, that contains only players from the SEC. I am curious into determining whether or not the difference between the two is sigificant. Subquestion 1: Can I do this for each of the coefficents, beta0 and beta1, individually? i.e there may be a statistically signicant difference in the intercept but not in the rate of decay as a function of my independent variable Subquestion 2: Can the same method of testing differences in regressions be applied to linear regressions? Thanks in advance for everyone's time and help. jdr -- Justin Rapp 409 S. 22nd St. Apt. 1 Philadelphia, PA 19146 Cell:(267)252.0297
