Let's say I have a variable, day, which is saved as a factor with 7 levels, and I use it in a logistic regression model. I ran the model using the car package in R and printed out the results.
mod1 = glm(factor(status1) ~ factor(day), data=mydat, family=binomial(link="logit")) print(summary(mod1)) The result I get is: Coefficients: Estimate Std. Error z value Pr(>|z|) (Intercept) -0.4350 0.0379 -11.48 <2e-16 *** factor(day)Monday -0.6072 0.0479 -12.69 <2e-16 *** factor(day)Saturday 0.5964 0.0559 10.67 <2e-16 *** factor(day)Sunday 1.1140 0.0627 17.78 <2e-16 *** factor(day)Thursday -0.4492 0.0516 -8.71 <2e-16 *** factor(day)Tuesday -0.9331 0.0496 -18.82 <2e-16 *** factor(day)Wednesday -0.8575 0.0486 -17.63 <2e-16 *** It seems that Friday is being used as the baseline, but I want to know how I can acquire the coefficient for the baseline (friday)? I ran mod1$coefficients, but that didn't do the trick. Can anyone help. Thank you, Abraham M.
