Does your logistic regression model suck?

PERFECTION!

This is bad

Model Convergence StatusQuasi-complete separation of data points detected.

Warning:The maximum likelihood estimate may not exist. Warning:The LOGISTIC procedure continues in spite of the above

warning. Results shown are based on the last maximum likelihood iteration. Validity of the model fit is questionable.

Complete separation

X Group

If you don’t go to church you will never die

Quasi-complete separation

Like complete separation BUT one or more points where the points have both values

1 12 13 14 14 05 06 0

there is not a unique maximum likelihood estimate

“FOR ANY DICHOTOMOUS INDEPENDENT VARIABLE IN A LOGISTIC REGRESSION, IF THERE IS A ZERO IN THE 2 X 2 TABLE FORMED BY THAT VARIABLE AND THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE, THE ML ESTIMATE FOR THE REGRESSION COEFFICIENT DOES NOT EXIST.”

Depressing words from Paul Allison

What the hell happened?

Solution?

• Collect more data. • Figure out why your data are missing and fix

that. • Delete the category that has the zero cell..• Delete the variable that is causing the problem

Model Fit Statistics

Bonus fact!

• You can compare nested models using the model fit statistics and test if one model is superior to the other
