Hello, I need some help with the logistic regression: I have data on the test of 8 devices. The result of the test is a factor with 3 classes (bad, correct, good). I would like to use a logistic regression to analyse the potential difference between devices on the test result. So I transform the test result in a binary variable (bad vs correct or good), and the device variable in 8 binaries variables (device1, device2 , ... device8). I perform my logistic regression using 7 device variables to test each device versus the 7 others. summary(glm(TEST ~ DEVICE2 + DEVICE3 + DEVICE4 + DEVICE5 + DEVICE6 + DEVICE7 + DEVICE8 , DATA, family=binomial)) to test the Device1 versus the others, summary(glm(TEST ~ DEVICE1 + DEVICE3 + DEVICE4 + DEVICE5 + DEVICE6 + DEVICE7 + DEVICE8 , DATA, family=binomial)) to test the Device2 versus the others,..... Firstly, I would like to know if it is a good way to test the differences between devices. And secondly, I have a problem when some devices presents no bad test results: Coefficients: Value Std. Error t value (Intercept) -22.4782974 501.9650441 -0.04478060 DEVICE1 -0.6132228 0.3126136 -1.96159988 DEVICE2 -0.8047190 0.3040136 -2.64698379 DEVICE3 -0.4645971 0.3071465 -1.51262350 DEVICE5 -8.7565248 317.4695750 -0.02758225 DEVICE6 -8.7565248 388.8192084 -0.02252081 DEVICE7 -1.4746061 0.5543023 -2.66029210 DEVICE8 -1.9182577 0.5447448 -3.52138796 Here, the devices 5 and 6 had 0 bad results although the device4 which is tested had 57.7% of bad results. But they have huge std error, which induce a non significant difference between them and the device 4. This results is not logical. So, is there a special way to analyse this type of data ? Thanks for your help Annaële Sanquer |
