Question:
A logistic regression is estimated to analyze the probability of complications for male patients resulting from a serious infection. Predictor variables include the patient’s weight, age, and whether he is diabetic (Diabetes equals 1 if diabetic, 0 otherwise). The accompanying data file includes information on 260 males who had tested positive for a serious infection.
a. Estimate the logistic regression model using Complication as the response variable and Weight, Age, and Diabetes as the predictor variables.
b. Find the predicted probability of complications for a 60-year-old diabetic male with weight equal to 160 pounds.
c. Find the corresponding probability for a nondiabetic male.
