This is the third edition of this text on logistic regression methods originally published in 1994 with its second e- tion published in 2002. As in the first two editions each chapter contains a pres- tation of its topic in lecture?book format together with objectives an outline key formulae practice exercises and a test. The lecture book has a sequence of illust- tions formulae or summary statements in the left column of each page and a script (i. e. text) in the right column. This format allows you to read the script in conjunction with the illustrations and formulae that highlight the main points formulae or examples being presented. This third edition has expanded the second edition by adding three new chapters and a modified computer appendix. We have also expanded our overview of mod- ing strategy guidelines in Chap. 6 to consider causal d- grams. The three new chapters are as follows: Chapter 8: Additional Modeling Strategy Issues Chapter 9: Assessing Goodness of Fit for Logistic Regression Chapter 10: Assessing Discriminatory Performance of a Binary Logistic Model: ROC Curves In adding these three chapters we have moved Chaps. 8 through 13 from the second edition to follow the new chapters so that these previous chapters have been ren- bered as Chaps. 11-16 in this third edition.
