Binary Logistic Regression to Identify the Risk Factors of Eye Glaucoma
Keywords:
Binary, Logistic regression, Maximum Likelihood, Discriminant Function.Abstract
A binary logistic regression is performed to predict the presence or absence of Eye Glaucoma and to identify the risk factors of the disease. Five predictor variables are included in the model, which are:
