Conditional logistic regression is an extension of logistic regression that allows one to account for stratification and matching. Its main field of application is observational studies and in particular epidemiology. It was devised in 1978 by Norman Breslow, Nicholas Day, Katherine Halvorsen, Ross L. Prentice and C. Sabai. [1]
Logistic regression is a supervised machine learning algorithm widely used for binary classification tasks, such as identifying whether an email is spam or not and diagnosing diseases by assessing the presence or absence of specific conditions based on patient test results. This approach utilizes the logistic (or sigmoid) function to transform ...
Ways to account for the random sampling include conditional logistic regression, [5] and using inverse probability weighting to adjust for missing covariates among those who are not selected into the study. [2]
PSM employs a predicted probability of group membership—e.g., treatment versus control group—based on observed predictors, usually obtained from logistic regression to create a counterfactual group. Propensity scores may be used for matching or as covariates, alone or with other matching variables or covariates.
Types of discriminative models include logistic regression (LR), conditional random fields (CRFs), decision trees among many others. Generative model approaches which uses a joint probability distribution instead, include naive Bayes classifiers, Gaussian mixture models, variational autoencoders, generative adversarial networks and others.
Conditional logistic regression is more general than the CMH test as it can handle continuous variable and perform multivariate analysis. When the CMH test can be applied, the CMH test statistic and the score test statistic of the conditional logistic regression are identical. [7] Breslow–Day test for homogeneous association. The CMH test ...
One can compute this directly, without using a probability distribution (distribution-free classifier); one can estimate the probability of a label given an observation, (| =) (discriminative model), and base classification on that; or one can estimate the joint distribution (,) (generative model), from that compute the conditional probability ...
In statistical modeling, regression analysis is a set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships between a dependent variable (often called the outcome or response variable, or a label in machine learning parlance) and one or more error-free independent variables (often called regressors, predictors, covariates, explanatory ...
