This book discusses how to model a binary outcome variable from a linear regression analysis point of view. It develops the logistic regression model and describes its use in methods for modelling the relationship between a dichotomous outcome variable and a set of covariates. Discussion of the interpretation of this model follows. The text includes several data sets which are the source of the examples and exercises. The book also uses a number of software packages, including BMDP, EGRET, GLIM, SAS, and SYSTAT, to analyze data sets.

"This well written, organized, comprehensive, and useful book will be appreciated by graduate students and researchers." ( Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation , January 2006) "...the revised text continues to provide a focused introduction to the logistic regression model and its use in methods for modelling..."
