What is Binary Logistic Regression Analysis?
Binary Logistic Regression estimates the probability of an event occurring, such as voted or didn't vote, passed or didn't pass, based on a given dataset of independent variables. Since the outcome is a probability, the dependent variable is bounded between 0 and 1.
Example of Binary Logistic Regression in Excel using QI Macros
- Select two or more columns of data (NOTE: The first column of your data must be setup as 1 (pass) or 0 (fail), while the next column(s) in your data set should include your predictors):
- Next, click on the QI Macros menu and choose Statistical Tools > Regression & Other Statistics > Logistic Regression (Binary):
-
Evaluate the Logistic Regression Results:
The sample data shown above is found in QI Macros Help > Open QI Macros Sample Data > statistical.xlsx > Logistic Regression tab
Excel's Solver add-in is used to perform the Coefficients calculations.
If Solver is not enabled in your Excel, OR you are using a Mac, you will be provided with information about how to calculate the Coefficients manually, using Solver.
In this example:
- The probability of passing the test is derived from past data.
- The number of hours of study can then be used to predict the probability that a student will pass the test.
NOTE: At this time, we offer Multinomial Logistic Regression and Binomial Logistic Regression. We do not offer Ordinal Logistic Regression at this time.
*Binary Logistic Regression functionality introduced in the July 2022 version of QI Macros*
