Abstract:
Multivariate analysis with binary response is extensively utilized in dental research due to variations in dichotomous outcomes. One of the analyses for binary response variable is binary logistic regression, which explores the associated factors and predicts the response probability of the binary variable. This article aims to explain the statistical concepts of binary logistic regression analysis applicable to the field of dental research, including model fitting, goodness of fit test, and model validation. Moreover, interpretation of the model and logistic regression are also discussed with relevant examples. Practical guidance is also provided for dentists and dental researchers to enhance their basic understanding of binary logistic regression analysis.
