This week, we finish up the semester with one last topic: logistic regression. For class on Monday, please download:
- challenger.R from the R Scripts tab
- challenger.csv from the Data tab
In class on Wednesday, we will work on the second case study from this week’s homework, on conditional probabilities in breast-cancer screening.
Reading
There is no new reading, but if you haven’t read through page 327 of Chapter 16, then please do so. Reminder from last week: you can safely stop once you reach the section entitled “Advanced topic: estimating the parameters of the logistic regression model.” You are not responsible for anything beyond this section.
Software
By Wednesday, please complete the R walkthrough on logistic regression.
