    The regression analysis of binary sequences (with discussion)

    David R. Cox
    📅 1958🏛 Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B, vol. 20, no. 2, pp. 215-242, DOI: 10.1111/j.2517-6161.1958.tb00292.x
    Problem

    This paper is one of the pioneering works on using logistic regression for analyzing binary (dichotomous) data.

    Method

    Cox introduces the logistic regression model for binary sequence data and proposes maximum likelihood estimation for coefficient estimation.

    Finding

    Logistic regression was shown to be an effective tool for modeling the probability of a binary event based on predictor variables.

    Limitations

    The paper primarily focuses on small and simple datasets and does not address large-scale data issues.

    Practical application

    Logistic regression is now widely used in medicine (disease prediction), finance (default prediction), and marketing (purchase prediction).
