LogitModelFit

LogitModelFit[{{x1,y1},{x2,y2},…},{f1,f2,…},x]

constructs a binomial logistic regression model of the form that fits the yi for each xi.

LogitModelFit[data,{f1,…},{x1,x2,…}]

constructs a binomial logistic regression model of the form where the fi depend on the variables xk.

LogitModelFit[{m,v}]

constructs a binomial logistic regression model from the design matrix m and response vector v.

Details and Options

  • LogitModelFit attempts to model the data using a linear combination of basis functions composed with a logistic sigmoid.
  • LogitModelFit is typically used in classification to model probability values.
  • LogitModelFit produces a generalized linear model of the form under the assumption that the original are independent realizations of Bernoulli trials with probabilities .
  • The function is the LogisticSigmoid.
  • LogitModelFit returns a symbolic FittedModel object to represent the logistic model it constructs. The properties and diagnostics of the model can be obtained from model["property"].
  • The value of the best-fit function from LogitModelFit at a particular point x1, … can be found from model[x1,…].
  • Possible forms of data are:
  • {y1,y2,…}equivalent to the form {{1,y1},{2,y2},…}
    {{x11,x12,…,y1},…}a list of independent values xij and the responses yi
    {{x11,x12,…}y1,…}a list of rules between input values and responses
    {{x11,x12,…},…}{y1,y2,…}a rule between a list of input values and responses
    {{x11,…,y1,…},…}nfit the nth column of a matrix
  • With multivariate data such as {{x_(11),x_(12),... ,y_(1)},{x_(21),x_(22),... ,y_(2)},...}, the number of coordinates xi1, xi2, … should equal the number of variables xi.
  • The yi are probabilities between 0 and 1.
  • Additionally, data can be specified using a design matrix without specifying functions and variables:
  • {m,v}a design matrix m and response vector v
  • In LogitModelFit[{m,v}], the design matrix m is formed from the values of basis functions fi at data points in the form {{f1,f2,…},{f1,f2,…},…}. The response vector v is the list of responses {y1,y2,…}.
  • For a design matrix m and response vector v, the model is , where is the vector of parameters to be estimated.
  • When a design matrix is used, the basis functions fi can be specified using the form LogitModelFit[{m,v},{f1,f2,…}].
  • LogitModelFit is equivalent to GeneralizedLinearModelFit with ExponentialFamily->"Binomial" and LinkFunction->Automatic.
  • LogitModelFit takes the same options as GeneralizedLinearModelFit, with the exception of ExponentialFamily and LinkFunction.
