LOGISTIC REGRESSION

Q1. It has been observed that about 25% of young adults smoke. If you are sitting next to a
young adult on a park bench, what is the odds that he is a smoker?

Correct Answer

Q2. To predict whether a goal was scored by a player in an international match , logistic
regression is fitted. Y = 1, if the goal was scored, 0 otherwise. The following model is found
to be adequate

Ln ( P(Y=1) / P(Y=0) ) = 9.5 - 0.3*Age + 0.57*MinorInjury [here 'ln' stands for natural
logarithm (i.e. logarithm to the base e)]

Where MinorInjury = 1 if the player is playing with a minor injury and 0 otherwise. Find the
percentage probability of a 40-year old player with no minor injury will score an
international goal.

**Assume P(Y=0) is probability of scoring an international goal**

Q3. The following table shows the cross-tabulation of actual and predicted response after a
logistic regression model fit. What is the accuracy of the logistic regression?
Correct Answer

Q4. What do we plot (in the X-axis and the Y-axis) in the Receiver Operator Characteristic
(ROC) curve?

Correct Answer

Q5. Performance of a logistic regression is often measured by its sensitivity (recall) and
specificity (precision). Which of the following statements do you agree with?

1. Sensitivity and specificity are inversely proportional to each other.

2. If AUC corresponding to an ROC is 50%, the logistic regression model is no better
that a random model which classifies an observation into positive or negative class
with equal probability

Build a Logistic Regression Model on the data set.

What is the value of the True Positives predictions based on the confusion matrix?

Note: For this question, use the whole data to build the model, then use the independent
variables to predict the same whole data and then build a confusion matrix.
