#statstab #321 You Just Said Something Wrong About Logistic Regression by @Phdemetri

Thoughts: Odd, probabilities, and risk ratios. Coefficients in logistic regression are only one of these.

#statstab #206 Probability, log-odds, and odds

Thoughts: A great short document covering the differences between the three, and some R code snippets on how to compute and convert them.

The contingency table summary of mapdata.py (on PyPI) now includes the risk ratio, odds ratio, and confidence interval for the log odds ratio.

#statstab #24 Non-linear model are evil [my title]

Thoughts: When ppl say "just use exp() to get the value on the original scale" a vein pops. NLMs are complicated things. I only tolerate probit model (for SDT reasons).
