Book Description
Pampel's book offers readers the first "nuts and bolts" approach to doing logistic regression through the use of careful explanations and worked-out examples. This book will enable readers to use and understand logistic regression techniques and will serve as a foundation for more advanced treatments of the topic.
About the Author
Many social phenomena are discrete or qualitative rather than continuous or quantitative in nature-an event occurs or it does not occur, a person makes one choice but not the other, an individual or group passes from one state to another. Read the first page

Excellent explanation of this esoteric method.,

This review is from: Logistic Regression: A Primer (Paperback)
This is an excellent book on the subject. It covers the subject in detail. I work in a quantitative group of a large financial institution. My boss asked me recently to make a presentation on logistic regression, a subject I knew nothing about at the time. Thanks to this book, I was able to develop the knowledge and expertise in this esoteric statistical method to make a descent presentation to my group. I was also able to develop basic logistic regression models in Excel. Personally, unlike many of my colleagues (Russians with formidable backgrounds in math) I don't have an advanced knowledge in math or statistic. The book reviewed and taught me what I needed to know to grasp logistic regression. This included an excellent review of logarithms and partial derivatives. If you are interested to learn this subject, and you need the equivalent of a most user friendly "Logistic Regression for Dummies" this is the book for you. By the way, logistic regression is not so well known today outside of academic and quantitatively oriented circle. But, after studying it, I feel like it will take over linear regression big time. It is such a superior method to analyze situations associated with human behavior and human choices. Whether you are a psychologist, social scientist, or developer of financial products you will sooner or later have to grasp logistic regression because your counterparts and competitors will. And, in the statistical evaluation of decision-making, linear regression just can't compete with logistic regression. This book will help you catch the logistic regression wave.

Excellent Intro,
By Charlotte Booklover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Logistic Regression: A Primer (Paperback)
This book is a good, quick introduction that will allow you to jump right into logistic regression. I found Pampel's writing to be comprehensible and quite suitable for anyone with a good working knowledge of regular linear regression.All in all, you could do far worse if you need a basic overview into LR. Think of this as a good book to let you know what you need to know. It'd also make a good reference if you need a primer on logs. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Logistic Regression: A Primer (Paperback)
Well written and easy to understand. In an hour or 2, you can get a quick grasp on this subject. Considering the cost of textbooks nowadays this is sort of a good place to start if you are in a logistic regression class.
