[R] Comparing goodness of fit between two logistic regression models

2012-11-13 Thread hoguejm
Greetings, 

I want to compare the goodness-of-fit between several different models that
I have developed using Logistic Regression.  I have been doing some research
and am sort of confused on how to do this.  I know it is not as simple as in
an OLS model, however since there is no R-squared value in logistic
regression, I was wondering if there was another test statistic I could use. 
I do not want to compare the fitted models with the null model, but rather
two different fitted models.

I know there are several pseudo R-squares that can be used. (Is there  a
recommended one? Is this even a good way to compare models?)

I apologize that this is more of a statistics question than an r specific
question, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Jake

[R] Is there a way to export regression output to an excel spreadsheet?

2012-11-09 Thread hoguejm
I want to export the coefficient values and p-values from my regression
output into a spreadsheet. Is there a way to do this?

[R] Why does my regression output look like this?

2012-11-09 Thread hoguejm
   
EstimateStd. Error  z value 
Pr(|z|)
(Intercept)   2.338e+00 

2.400e+03  0.0010.99922
factor(GENDER)M -1.020e-01 
6.394e-01 -0.1600.87327
factor(Ethnicity)Black  4.868e-01  
1.550e+00 0.314 0.75348 

A sample from my regression output above.
I am wondering why in the Estimate column, are the values in terms of e.  
Is there a way to get simple numerical values without the e term?

Thanks

Re: [R] Is there a way to export regression output to an excel spreadsheet?

2012-11-09 Thread hoguejm
I am very very new with R. 

Needless to say, your comment is a bit confusing.  My regression name is
mylogit  

Anyway to write a code that I can copy paste? Thanks

[R] Obtaining R-squared value in Logistic Regression

2012-11-08 Thread hoguejm
I do not see an R-squared value after preforming the glm regression.

Is there a separate command for this? 

Thanks

[R] Changing Date Variables as Continuous Variables

2012-11-03 Thread hoguejm
I am very new to R, so I apologize if this question is trivial.

I have a row in my data of dates in the format mm/dd/; about 3500 rows. 

I am using this variable in a logistic regression model, and need to treat
it as continuous, not a factor as r has decided it is.

I tried the as.numeric function but it resulted in all NA's and the message:
NAs introduced by coercion 

If anyone knows a solution, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Cheers,
Jake

[R] Error in contrasts message when using logistic regression code.

2012-10-23 Thread hoguejm
I have a rather large data set (about 30 predictor variables)

I need to preform a logistic regression on this data. My response variable
is binary.

My code looks like this:

mylogit - glm(Enrolled ~ A + B + C + ... + EE, data = data, family =
binomial(link=logit))

with A,B,C, ... as my predictor variables. Some categorical, some
continuous, some binary.

I run the code and get this error:

Error in `contrasts-`(`*tmp*`, value = contr.funs[1 + isOF[nn]]) : 
  contrasts can be applied only to factors with 2 or more levels

Any ideas on how to fix this? I am fairly new to R so Im guessing there is
something missing/wrong in my logit code. 

Thanks!
