Logic Regression Values Discussion
Important Note: This week contains a graded Discussion and an ungraded Collaboration Lab.
This week’s readings discuss conditional probabilities, conditional odds, logits, odds ratios, relative risk, and slopes. These can all be confusing terms but the good news is that all these values have some relationship to each other. Researchers have their own opinions on which values makes the most sense to report.
By Day 3
In a 2- to 3-paragraph post, construct a persuasive argument for the value (conditional probability, odds, odds ratio, etc.) that, intuitively, makes the most sense for you to report as a result to your ******ience. Be sure to provide a specific rationale for your choice.
By Day 5
Respond to a colleague’s post who has selected a different value. Describe whether or not your colleague’s post swayed your point of view. Does your opinion change when on reporting in different contexts? Why or why not?

Week 4 Discussion Rubric
Post by Day 3 and Respond by Day 5
Part 1
For each discussion, part 1 solution needs to submit before the deadline (day 3).
Part 2
Two classmate posts can collect after part 1 solution submitted in the class discussion board. Then send to you for part 2 respond; and they need to respond to them separately in 24-36 hours’ period (day5).
Also, please answer any question from the professor for your solution for part 1!
1 pages for part 1, 1 page for part 2 (250 words each page)
Assignment: Simple Logic Regression in SPSS (1 Independent Variable & 1 Dependent Variable)
Earlier this week, you practiced fitting simple regression models an ideal used the Collaboration Lab to ask, answer, and otherwise address any questions you had. In this Assignment, you apply what you learned to answer a social research question using logic regression.
To prepare
Review the datasets provided.
- Construct a research question based on one of those datasets.
- Use one independent variable and one dependent variable to conduct your simple log******ic regression analysis.
- Remember that your dependent variable must be dichotomous/binary.
- Think about how you might use the odds ratio in your analysis to simplify the interpretation of your results
The Assignment
Use SPSS to answer the research question you constructed. Write an analysis in APA format, including title page, references, and an appendix, that includes your data output and addresses each of the tasks l******ed above. The content should be 2–3 pages, including a discussion of whether the predictive relationship is stat******ically significant and the odds ratio and what it means. Your SPSS output should be included as an appendix.
Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the General Social Survey Dataset, report the mean of Age. If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES. See page 1032 in your Warner textbook for an excellent APA-compliant write-up of a binary log******ic regression analysis.
