This document provides an overview of logistic regression for categorical response variables. It begins with examples of binary, ordinal, and nominal categorical response variables. It then demonstrates how ordinary linear regression is inappropriate for binary response data and introduces the logistic regression model as an alternative. The key aspects of logistic regression covered include the logit link function, interpreting odds ratios, and using the logistic model to predict probabilities rather than raw values. Examples are provided using R to model binary response golf putting and medical treatment data.
