In Week 6, you learned about multiple regression analysis where you used multiple predictor variables to examine their relationship to a single outcome variable that is measured on a continuous, quantitative scale. However, what if you want to examine how multiple predictor variables relate to an outcome variable that is measured on a categorical scale? To do this, you use a special form of multiple regression known as logistic regression
In this assignment, you will describe a situation related to your current profession or a profession you would like to have in the future where you would use logistic regression. In a minimum of 200 words, post to the Discussion Area your responses to the following:
Describe the situation of interest. Identify the predictor variables and the outcome variable. Describe the groups associated with the outcome variable that you are trying to predict. Imagine you conduct the analysis and find a significant relationship between one of your predictor variables and the outcome. Describe how you would interpret this significant effect in a meaningful way.
