Logistic Regression - Online Course
A 3-Day Livestream Seminar Taught by
Paul Allison10:00am-2:00pm ET (New York time): Live lecture via Zoom
4:00pm-5:00pm ET: Live lab session via Zoom (Thursday and Friday only)
Logistic regression is by far the most widely used statistical method for the analysis of categorical data. In this seminar, you’ll learn virtually everything you need to know to become a skilled user of logistic regression. We’ll cover the theory and practice of binary logistic regression in great detail including topics such as:
- odds and odds ratios
- maximum likelihood estimation
- interpretation of coefficients
- convergence failures
- goodness of fit
- contingency table analysis
- response-based sampling
Starting April 22, we are offering this seminar as a 3-day synchronous*, remote workshop for the first time. Each day will consist of a 4-hour live lecture held via the free video-conferencing software Zoom. You are encouraged to join the lecture live, but will have the opportunity to view the recorded session later in the day if you are unable to attend at the scheduled time.
Each lecture session will conclude with a hands-on exercise reviewing the content covered, to be completed on your own. An additional lab session will be held Thursday and Friday afternoons, where you can review the exercise results with the instructor and ask any questions.
*We understand that scheduling is difficult during this unpredictable time. If you prefer, you may take all or part of the course asynchronously. The video recordings will be made available within 24 hours of each session and will be accessible for two weeks after the seminar, meaning that you will get all of the class content and discussions even if you cannot participate synchronously.
More details about the course content
We’ll also cover more advanced topics including ordered logistic regression, multinomial logistic regression, discrete-choice analysis, and methods for analyzing clustered data.
This is a hands-on course with lots of exercises to help you master the material. Both SAS and Stata will be used for all examples and exercises.
Professor Allison is the author of Logistic Regression Using SAS which is now in its second edition and has been cited more than 4,400 times.

Computing
Because this is a hands-on course, you will need to use a computer loaded with a recent version of SAS (release 9.2 or later) or Stata (release 13 or later).
Seminar participants who are not yet ready to purchase Stata could take advantage of StataCorp’s free 30-day evaluation offer or their 30-day software return policy.

Who should register?
If you need to analyze categorical outcomes and have a basic statistical background, this course is for you. You should have a good working knowledge of the principles and practice of linear regression, as well as elementary statistical inference. But you do not need to know matrix algebra, calculus, or likelihood theory. Some experience with either SAS or Stata is highly desirable.
