Help to Run and Report Logit Regression in SPSS

Logit regression, also known as the logistic regression model, is used to predict a dichotomous categorical variable based on a set of predictor variables. It is the extension of bivariate chi-square analysis. Logistic regression analysis helps to predict the odds of an observation falling into one of two categories of a dichotomous dependent variable based on one or more independent variables that are either continuous or categorical. Based on the nature of the categorical response variable, one can conduct binary logistic regression, nominal logistic regression, or ordinal logistic regression.

We have experienced professionals with a proven track record of providing outstanding data analysis help using logit regression to local and international clients. We utilize binary logistic regression in SPSS intending to describe data and explain how one dependent binary variable relates to one or more continuous independent variables. This article is a detailed guide on how to run and report logit regression in SPSS.

Assumptions Required to Perform Logit SPSS Data Analysis

Data must pass certain criteria to be fit for logistic regression analysis using SPSS. The assumptions required for logit analysis in SPSS to produce valid results include the following:

1. The outcome variable is measured on a dichotomous scale. In cases of a continuous variable, multiple regression analysis would be appropriate for the data.

2. There are one or two predictor variables measured on either a categorical (ordinal or nominal) or continuous (interval or ratio).

3. Observations are independent, and the categories of the dependent variable are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.

4. There is a linear relationship between the continuous independent variables and the logit transformation of the dependent variable.

One must correctly run statistical tests on each assumption to produce valid results of the analysis. We provide professional help with logit regression using SPSS to all clients regardless of the subject, field, or discipline. We help clients not only to perform binary logistic regression analysis but also to understand how to interpret and report the output correctly.

How to Run Logistic Regression Analysis in SPSS

Before performing logistic data analysis using SPSS, one should correctly enter the data into SPSS while checking for the assumptions to ensure none is violated. The analysis steps include the following:

1. On the main menu, click Analyze>Regression> Binary Logistic to receive the Logistic Regression dialogue table.

2. Enter the dependent variable into the Dependent box and the independent variables into the Covariates box.

3. Click on the Categorical button to receive the Logistic Regression: Define Categorical Variables dialogue box.

4. Move the categorical independent variable from the Covariates box to the Categorical Variables box.

5. Change the Reference Category from the Last Option to the First Option, then click Change in the Change Category area based on data settings.

6. Click the Continue button to return to the Logistic Regression dialogue box.

7. Click the Options button to find the Logistic Regression: Options dialogue box.

8. In the Statistics and Plots area, click the Classification Plots, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit, Casewise listing of residuals and CI for exp (B): Options. In the display area, click the At last step option.

9. Click the Continue button to return to the Logistic Regression Dialogue box.

10. Click on the Ok button to generate the output.

These steps apply to logistic regression analysis using SPSS when the data has not violated any of the assumptions. Should the assumptions be violated, it may not be possible to run the logistic regression, and one may be forced to switch to linear regression models or any other appropriate statistical test.

How to Interpret and Report Logistic Regression SPSS Output

With the many tables generated during SPSS data analysis, one should understand those that are necessary for understanding their logistic regression analysis results. Assuming the data met all the assumptions, the tables to consider include:

• The logistic regression model summary table

The model summary table shows the extent of variation in the dependent variable that the logistic model can account for.

• Classification table

SPSS classifies an event as occurring if its estimated probability is equal to or greater than 0.5. Logistic regression can be used to determine whether cases can be correctly predicted from independent variables; necessitating the assessment of the effectiveness of the predicted classification relative to the actual classification. The classification table contains analysis details such as sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and the percentage accuracy in classification.

• Variables in the equation table

The variables in the equation table show the statistical significance and contribution of each predictor variable to the model. The Wald test statistic can be run to determine whether the independent variables are statistically significant. The information presented in the variables in the equation table can be used to predict the chances of an event occurring based on one unit change when all other independent variables maintain Constance. One has to be sure of the odds ratio to make correct predictions.
