A Practical Guide to Testing Assumptions and Cleaning Data for Logistic Regression
Logistic regression is a nonparametric technique. Does that mean that data cleaning is less important (or not important at all)?
There is good news and bad news. The good news is that parametric assumptions like normality and homoscedasticity are not relevant in logistic regression. The bad news is that basics like data cleaning (e.g., outliers), missing data, linearity, independence of observations, perfect measurement, and sparseness of data still matter. In the course of this chapter, we will cover how these basic data cleaning chores can be accomplished and how your analyses can benefit if you do so.
You have now learned that logistic regression contains some conceptual and procedural similarities to ordinary least ...
