similar to: Standardized logistic regression coefficients

Dear all, I am looking for ways to compute standardized logistic regression coefficients. I found papers describing at least 6 different ways to standardize logistic regression coefficients. I also found a very old (Thu May 12 21:50:36 CEST 2005) suggestion by Frank E Harrell (one of the colleagues who frequently contribute on this list) saying... Design doesn't implement those because they

Does anyone know how to get the C-index from a logistic model - not using the dataset that was used to train the model, but instead using a fresh dataset on the same model? I have a dataset of 400 points that I've split into two halves, one for training the logistic model, and the other for evaluating it. The structure is as follows: column headers are "got a loan" (dichotomous),

Hi everyone, I'm doing a logistic regression with an ordinal variable. I'd like to set the contrasts on the ordinal variable. However, when I set the contrasts, they work for ordinary linear regression (lm), but not logistic regression (lrm): ddist = datadist(bin.time, exp.loc) options(datadist='ddist') contrasts(exp.loc) = contr.treatment(3, base = 3, contrasts = TRUE) lrm.loc =

Hi, I am trying to cross-validate a logistic regression model. I am using logistic regression model (lrm) of package Design. f <- lrm( cy ~ x1 + x2, x=TRUE, y=TRUE) val <- validate.lrm(f, method="cross", B=5) My class cy has values 0 and 1. "val" variable will give me indicators like slope and AUC. But, I also need the vector of predicted values of class variable

Hi, I am trying to run a simple logistic regression using lrm() to calculate a odds ratio. I found a confusing output when I use summary() on the fit object which gave some OR that is totally different from simply taking exp(coefficient), see below: > dat<-read.table("dat.txt",sep='\t',header=T,row.names=NULL) > d<-datadist(dat) > options(datadist='d')

Hi all, I'm trying to discover the options available to me for logistic and linear regression. I'm doing some tests on a dataset and want to see how different flavours of the algorithms cope. So far for logistic regression I've tried glm(MASS) and lrm (Design) and found there is a big difference. Is there a list anywhere detailing the options available which details the specific

I tried lrm in library(Design) but there is always some error message. Is this function really doing the weighted logistic regression as maximizing the following likelihood: \sum w_i*(y_i*\beta*x_i-log(1+exp(\beta*x_i))) Does anybody know a better way to fit this kind of model in R? FYI: one example of getting error message is like: > x=runif(10,0,3) > y=c(rep(0,5),rep(1,5)) >

I am using logistic regression model (lrm) of package Design. Can some one please tell me how to calculate the average Area Under Curve (AUC) for n-fold cross-validation The help for lrm function says to do cross validation like this f <- lrm( cy ~ x1 + x2, x=TRUE, y=TRUE) val <- validate.lrm(f, method="cross", B=5) Now I dont know what to do with variable "val" to

Dear all, I know that when using R, people should have a sufficient level in statistics. As well, I'm not a genius, when dealing with logistic regressions. I would like to construct ICs, IPs, for a logistic regression, but the point is I have just 41 observations. I had a look at the Design package and noticeably the lrm function, but I'm still not able to reduce the IC's, as I

Dear R experts, The lrm function in the Design package can perform penalized (Ridge) logistic regression. It is my understanding that the ridge solutions are not equivalent under scaling of the inputs, so one normally standardizes the inputs. Do you know if input standardization is done internally in lrm or I would have to do it prior to applying this function. Also, as I'm new in R (coming

lrm does some binning to make the calculations faster. The exact calculation is obtained by running f <- lrm(...) rcorr.cens(predict(f), DA), which results in: C Index Dxy S.D. n missing 0.96814404 0.93628809 0.03808336 32.00000000 0.00000000 uncensored Relevant Pairs Concordant Uncertain 32.00000000

Hallo! I want to understand / recalculate what is done to get the CI of the logistic regression evaluated with lrm. As far as I came back, my problem is the variance-covariance matrix fit$var of the fit (fit<-lrm(...), fit$var). Here what I found and where I stucked: ----------------- library(Design) # data D<-c(rep("a", 20), rep("b", 20)) V<-0.25*(1:40) V[1]<-25

Greetings, I am using both the lrm() {Design} and glm( , family=binomial()) to perform a a logisitic regression in R. Apart from the typical summary() methods, what other methods of diagnosing logistic regression models does R provide? i.e. plotting an 'lm' object, etc. Secondly, is there any facility to calculate the R^{2)_{L} as suggested by Menard in "Applied Logistic

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to specify the prevalence of events in logistic regression using lrm() from Design package? Linear Discriminant Analysis using lda() from MASS library has an argument "prior=" that we can use to specify the prevalent of events when the actual dataset being analyzed does not have a representative prevalence. How can we incorporate this information in

Please forgive a rather na??ve question... Could someone please give a quick explanation for the differences in conf intervals achieved via confint.glm (based on profile liklihoods) and the intervals achieved using the Design library. For example, the intervals in the following two outputs are different. library(Design) x = rnorm(100) y = gl(2,50) d = data.frame(x = x, y = y) dd = datadist(d);

? Hallo, which function can i use to do (baseline) logistic regression + goodness of fit tests? so far i found: # logistic on binary data lrm combined with resid(model,'gof') # logistic on binary data glm with no gof-test # baseline logit on binary data

Dear All, I have just estimated this model: ----------------------------------------------------------- Logistic Regression Model lrm(formula = Y ~ X16, x = T, y = T) Model Likelihood Discrimination Rank Discrim. Ratio Test Indexes Indexes Obs 82 LR chi2 5.58 R2 0.088 C 0.607 0

Hello all, Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I am trying to fit a binary logistic model using the lrm function in Design. The dataset I am using has a dichotomous response variable, 'covered' (1-yes, 0-no) with explanatory variables, 'nepall', 'title', 'abstract', 'series', and 'author1.' I am running the following script and

Hi all! I am trying to develop a plot a figure in which I would like to show the odds ratios obtained from a logistic model. I have tried with the dotplot option but no success. Could you help me? Is there any option when modelling the logistic model in R? Thank you in advance

Hi, I am using logistic regression model named lrm(Design) Rite now I was using Area Under Curve (AUC) for testing my model. But, now I have to calculate precision/recall of the model on test cases. For lrm, precision and recal would be simply defined with the help of 2 terms below: True Positive (TP) - Number of test cases where class 1 is given probability >= 0.5. False Negative (FP) -
