Hi,

I have made a logistic model for a datasetwith a binary response variable.

The result is not good, I think.

The prediction error is 10%. However allthe predict response variables are the same (all are “YES”). The predictpossibilities are different, but they are all larger than 0.5, and I use 0.5 asa cutoff to decide the result, so all the response variables are “YES”.

Also I calculate the R2, whichis 0.05; it’s so small. And the Hoemer Lemeshow Test shows the p-value is<0.0001, which is bad enough.

I think the logistic model is not a goodchoice here. I want to know what I should do next.

Trying some other models? Could you give mesome choices?

Or I need to do something based on logisticmodel?

Could anyone give me any suggestion aboutmy problem?

Thanks.

You will have to be way more specific than that. What is it that you are trying to study? What is the dependent variable? What are the independent variables?

There are a lot of things that are not clear from your statements. For example, you said that all the predictions are 1 but there is only a 10% "prediction error". Does this mean that your dependent variable is 1 in most of your observations? That may create a problem.

Do not worry about R squares. They don't usually mean much in such models. Look at, say, a two way table of prediction vs actual. Or use ROC curve.

Try probit model too.

I cannot paste the data.
The factors are some engineering factors like alloy composition and other process variables like water pressure, temperature. They are numerical and dependent variable is a binary variable with 1 "PASS", 0"FAIL". And accually most of these binary variables are PASS. That's why only 10% prediction error.
The problem here is that I am not sure if the model indeed works here.
I have tried probit model, which is similar with logit model. The CV-MSE is the same.
Do I need to try some penalty in logistic model?
I cannot find what the problem here is; then I cannot find the way to solve it.
Could you give me some suggestion?
Thanks

I'd say if it is experimental data, you really need to think hard about the underlying data generating process before imposing the assumptions of any model. It could be that linearity is just a bad assumption. If so, it does not matter if you are using logit or probit. I think it is time to talk to your advisor about it. I'd say most people here work with economics/business, not some natural science.

Thanks, anyway.
I want to try machine learing methods to do classification.
Thanks for your answer.
