A binary event either happens or not. For example, a subject’s condition in a clinical trial either improves or does not. Is the probability of improvement related to a novel treatment, or to patient characteristics such as sex, weight, or age? This is what binary logistic regression can do for us. It allows us to model the probability of a binary outcome given various predictors. In this workshop we’ll cover the basics of implementing, interpreting, and evaluating binary logistic regression models using R.

Previous experience with R and linear modeling will be helpful but not required.

Our policy is that we do not record live workshops in order to encourage robust Q&A. However, you can always find the full workshop materials for all of our workshops at: https://library.virginia.edu/data/training/past-workshops which allows you to work through the material at your own pace. We also encourage you to reach out to the instructor at any time for a one-on-one consult, and for specific or general questions about any of the topics we cover.
