Ideal preparation for this book is claimed to be a course on quantitative methods in epidemiology and a course in applied multiple regression. So, imagine that you are sitting attentively in a lecture, and the formula ... goes onto the board. Then, just in case you were not quite on the ball (notwithstanding the courses in regression and epidemiology that you have attended), the lecturer helpfully writes underneath: ‘… the logistic model P(X) equals 1 over 1 plus e to minus the quantity α plus β1 times E…’. Well, that was helpful was it not? The next formula swiftly follows: ... and then more helpful text, ‘… by substituting the value E equals 1 into the model formula … we then obtain 1 over 1 plus e to minus the quantity α plus β1 times 1, or simply 1 over 1 plus e to minus the quantity α plus β1’.
