    This study introduces a bias correction for maximum likelihood logistic regression, improving accuracy in small sample sizes. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of this bias correction method for small datasets.

    Area of Science:

    • Statistics
    • Biostatistics
    • Machine Learning

    Background:

    • Logistic regression is a widely used statistical method for binary classification.
    • Maximum likelihood estimation is a common technique for fitting logistic regression models.
    • Bias in parameter estimates can be a significant issue when using small sample sizes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a bias correction for maximum likelihood logistic regression estimates.
    • To provide a method that improves the accuracy of logistic regression in small sample settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Derivation of a bias correction expression for logistic regression estimates.
    • Utilizing an expansion of the maximum likelihood equation.
    • Conducting simulation studies to evaluate the proposed correction.
