Introduction: We present an ordinal logistic regression model for identification of items with differential item functioning (DIF) and apply this model to a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) ...

We present an approach for correcting for interobserver measurement error in an ordinal logistic regression model taking into account also the variability of the ...

Ordinal regression and classification methods form a vital branch of statistical learning wherein the outcome variable possesses an inherent order. Unlike conventional classification problems, where ...

Logistic regression is a powerful statistical method that is used to model the probability that a set of explanatory (independent or predictor) variables predict data in an outcome (dependent or ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research demonstrates applying the L-BFGS optimization algorithm to the ML logistic regression technique for binary classification -- predicting one of two possible ...

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end program that explains how to perform binary classification (predicting a variable with two possible discrete values) using ...

In recent columns we showed how linear regression can be used to predict a continuous dependent variable given other independent variables 1,2. When the dependent variable is categorical, a common ...
