Logistic Regression - Extensions

Extensions

There are large numbers of extensions:

  • Multinomial logistic regression (or multinomial logit) handles the case of a multi-way categorical dependent variable (with unordered values, also called "classification"). Note that the general case of having dependent variables with more than two values is termed polytomous regression.
  • Ordered logistic regression (or ordered logit) handles ordinal dependent variables (ordered values).
  • Mixed logit is an extension of multinomial logit that allows for correlations among the choices of the dependent variable.
  • An extension of the logistic model to sets of interdependent variables is the conditional random field.

Famous quotes containing the word extensions:

    The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
