Complete SAS Programming Guide - Learn SAS and Become a Data Ninja - Intuitive Understanding of Logistic Regression

The video introduces logistic regression, aiming to simplify its understanding without heavy math jargon. It highlights the limitations of the linear probability model, such as probabilities outside the 0-1 range, and explains how logistic regression addresses these issues by using odds and log transformations. The video further delves into the concept of log odds, coefficients, and the intercept, using credit history as an example. It concludes with calculations of odds and odds ratios, demonstrating the practical application of logistic regression in predicting loan approvals based on credit history.

What does the intercept or constant represent in the logistic regression model?

How do you calculate the odds ratio in the context of credit history?

What does an odds ratio of 34 indicate about the likelihood of getting a loan based on credit history?
