Section 1: Introduction

In this section, students will receive an introduction to the logistic regression project using SAS Stat. Lecture 1 provides an overview of the logistic regression project, setting the stage for understanding the subsequent lectures. Lecture 2 delves into the explanation and exploration of the insurance dataset, offering insights into the data students will be working with throughout the course.

Section 2: Logistic Regression Demonstration

Students will gain hands-on experience with logistic regression in this section. Lecture 3 and Lecture 4 present a demonstration of logistic regression, divided into two parts for comprehensive understanding. Lecture 5 covers techniques for handling missing values, while Lecture 6 and Lecture 7 focus on dealing with categorical inputs, an essential aspect of logistic regression modeling.

Section 3: Variable Clustering

In this section, students will learn about variable clustering, an important technique for simplifying complex datasets. Lecture 8, Lecture 9, and Lecture 10 delve into variable clustering, offering a step-by-step guide to its implementation. Lecture 11 and Lecture 12 further explore variable screening techniques to identify the most influential variables for the regression model.

Section 4: Subset Selection

Subset selection is crucial for building an effective logistic regression model. Lecture 13 to Lecture 21 cover various aspects of subset selection, including its rationale and practical implementation. Students will learn how to select the most relevant subsets of variables to optimize the predictive power of their models. Additionally, Lecture 21 introduces logit plots, providing insights into the relationship between predictor variables and the log-odds of the response variable.

This course equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to perform logistic regression analysis effectively using SAS Stat, from data exploration to model interpretation.
