What Is Logistic Regression?
● Logistic Regression is used to calculate the probability of an event occurring ● Logistic Regression is used when the dependent variable in a regression (Y) is binary (can only be 1 or 0)● Marketers use Logistic Regression to create quality scores that calculate the probability of a prospect buying

An Example of Marketing Use of Logistic Regression
We have historic customer data for the following customer attributes for each past prospect: 1) Whether or not the prospect purchased 2) Prospect’s age and gender

Use the Excel Solver To Calculate the Predictive Equation
To Solve for the Predictive Equation P(X),You Need To Solve for L (the Logit)
You Will Use the Excel Solver to Solve for “Solver Decision Variables” (A, B, and Constant) Which Cause the Predictive
Equation P(X) To Be As Accurate As Possible
As Before Running the Solver, Create the Following Data Columns on a Spread Sheet
The Fundamental Basis for Logistic Regression Is Solving For The Above Equation
