1 Fitting discrete-data regression models in social science Andrew Gelman Dept. of Statistics and Dept. of Political Science Columbia University For Greg Wawro sclass, 7 Oct 2010
2 Today s class Example: wells in Bangladesh Building a logistic regression model Logistic regression with interactions Evaluating, checking, and comparing models Probit regression and the latent-variable model Mapping the logit/probit regressions to a formal model of preferences Related methodological topics
3 Natural arsenic in well water
4 Mix of high and low-arsenic wells
5 Digging new wells
6 Today s class Example: wells in Bangladesh Building a logistic regression model Logistic regression with interactions Evaluating, checking, and comparing models Probit regression and the latent-variable model Mapping the logit/probit regressions to a formal model of preferences Related methodological topics
7 Survey data: would you switch wells? Logistic regression Predictor variables: Distance to nearest safe well Arsenic level of your current well Education Membership in community organizations (not predictive)
8 Predicting switching given distance Pr (switch) = logit -1 ( *dist100)
9 Predicting switching given distance and arsenic level Pr (switch) = logit -1 ( *dist *As)
10 Predicting switching given distance and arsenic level Pr (switch) = logit -1 ( *dist *As)
11 Today s class Example: wells in Bangladesh Building a logistic regression model Logistic regression with interactions Evaluating, checking, and comparing models Probit regression and the latent-variable model Mapping the logit/probit regressions to a formal model of preferences Related methodological topics
12 Adding the interaction
13 Using centered inputs
14
15 Fitted model with interactions Nonparallel lines (on logit scale)
16 Adding social predictors assoc has wrong sign and is not statistically significant, so discard!
17 After discarding assoc
18 Try more interactions (Interpret each coefficient )
19 Today s class Example: wells in Bangladesh Building a logistic regression model Logistic regression with interactions Evaluating, checking, and comparing models Probit regression and the latent-variable model Mapping the logit/probit regressions to a formal model of preferences Related methodological topics
20 Residual plot
21 Binned residual plot
22 Binned residuals vs. distance
23 Binned residuals vs. arsenic
24 Try the log scale:
25 New model (Qualitatively similar to earlier model)
26 Comparing old and new models (Education is held constant at its average value)
27 Binned residuals new model (Pretty good, not perfect)
28 Model for switching Distance to walk comes in linearly Does this make sense? Yes Current arsenic level comes in on the log scale Does this make sense? Yes (psychologically) No (physically) Positive interaction between distance and arsenic Does this make sense??
29 Today s class Example: wells in Bangladesh Building a logistic regression model Logistic regression with interactions Evaluating, checking, and comparing models Probit regression and the latent-variable model Mapping the logit/probit regressions to a formal model of preferences Related methodological topics
30 Probit regression Take the logistic regression coefficients and s.e. s: and just divide everything by 1.6
31 Latent-data model Logit: Probit: Same model, but Probit coefs are logit coefs divided by 1.6
32 Taking the latent data seriously Example: modeling political preferences Pr(person i votes Republican) = Latent data Interpret z i as a continuous attitude Can be measured using feeling thermometer questions Can be modeled as being stable across issues or over time
33 Today s class Example: wells in Bangladesh Building a logistic regression model Logistic regression with interactions Evaluating, checking, and comparing models Probit regression and the latent-variable model Mapping the logit/probit regressions to a formal model of preferences Related methodological topics
34 Logistic regression as a formal model Well-switching model: of choice Decision for household i with As level As i a i As i = benefit of switching to a safe well b i + c i x i = cost of switching to a well at distance x i Pr(switch) = Pr(y i =1) = Pr(a i As i > b i + c i x i ) = Pr((a i As i -b i )/c i > x i )
35 Decision for household i with As level As i a i As i = benefit of switching to a safe well b i + c i x i = cost of switching to a well at distance x i Pr(switch) = Pr(y i =1) = Pr(a i As i > b i + c i x i ) = Pr((a i As i -b i )/c i > x i ) All depends on distribution of (a i As i -b i )/c i The net benefit of switching, divided by the cost per distance traveled to a new well If (a i As i -b i )/c i has an approximately normal distin the population, then the logit/probit model makes sense
36 Discrete choice model
37 Today s class Example: wells in Bangladesh Building a logistic regression model Logistic regression with interactions Evaluating, checking, and comparing models Probit regression and the latent-variable model Mapping the logit/probit regressions to a formal model of preferences Related methodological topics
38 Some topics in fitting discrete-data regression models Poisson models Treating discrete variables as continuous Unordered categorical regression Robust alternative to logit-probit
39 Poisson models Always Poisson regression, never Poisson distribution Always allow for overdispersion
40 Treating discrete variables as continuous Binary variables Often you can just fit with a linear model Ordered categories Strong Dem, Dem, Weak Dem,..., Strong Rep Just treat them as 1-7 on a continuous scale
41 Unordered categorical regression Use an ordered model if possible or else try repeated binary splits Example: Bush/Clinton/Perot/no-vote Vote or no-vote If vote: major party or Perot If major party: Bush or Clinton
42 Robust alternative to logit-probit Bound the probabilities away from 0 and 1 to allow for contamination
43 Robit (robust) regression
44 Today s class Example: wells in Bangladesh Building a logistic regression model Logistic regression with interactions Evaluating, checking, and comparing models Probit regression and the latent-variable model Mapping the logit/probit regressions to a formal model of preferences Related methodological topics
