Example of Logistic Regression
Consider a logistic regression experiment to investigate the efficacy of a certain insecticide.
The treatment level $x_i$ can be amended according to the response of interest $Y_i$ where:
- $Y_i = 1$ denotes death of the insect
- $Y_i = 0$ denotes survival of the insect.
The odds of death for the $i$th individual are then:
- $\theta_i = \dfrac {p_i} {1 - p_i}$
