Model Fitting: Logistic Regression |
You can use the Roles tab (Figure 23.14) to specify a frequency variable or weight variable for the analysis. You can also specify an offset variable.
A frequency variable is a numeric variable whose value
represents the frequency of the observation. If you use a frequency
variable, the underlying procedure assumes that each observation
represents observations, where
is the value of the frequency
variable.
A weight variable is a numeric variable with values that weigh each observation in the regression.
An offset variable is a special explanatory variable.
The regression coefficient for this variable will be fixed at 1.
This corresponds to the OFFSET= option in the MODEL
statement.
