Logistic Regression Analysis of Patient Outcomes in Intensive Care: Model Development, Interpretation, and Inference

In this comprehensive logistic regression analysis, we delve into the intricacies of patient outcomes within an intensive care setting. From the transformation of categorical variables to the application of likelihood ratio tests, the study provides a detailed exploration of the factors influencing outcomes. The model interpretation, confidence intervals, and covariance matrices further contribute to a thorough understanding of the complex interplay between age, medical conditions, and race in predicting critical care outcomes.

Problem Description:

The regression analysis assignment involves the application of logistic regression to analyze the impact of various factors on a binary outcome related to patient outcomes in an intensive care unit (ICU). The factors include age, cancer presence, infection status, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) prior to admission, and race. The goal is to interpret the model, assess significance, and provide confidence intervals for key variables.

Question 1: Data Transformation

RECODE RACE (2=1) (ELSE=0) INTO Race_01.

VARIABLE LABELS Race_01 'Race_01'.

EXECUTE.

RECODE RACE (3=1) (ELSE=0) INTO Race_02.

VARIABLE LABELS Race_02 'Race_02'.

EXECUTE.

Design Matrix:

RACE Race_01 Race_02
White 0 0
Black 1 0
Other 0 1

Question 2: Logistic Regression Model

π(X)=e^(β0+β1(AGE)+β2(CAN)+β3(CPR)+β4(INF)+β5(Race_01)+β6(Race_02))/(1-e^(β0+β1(AGE)+β2(CAN)+β3(CPR)+β4(INF)+β5(Race_01)+β6(Race_02)) )

X=vector of covariates or predictors i.e.,AGELikelihood Function: l(β)=∏_(i=1)^200▒〖ζ(Xi〗),CAN,CPR,INF,Race_01,and Race_02

Logit Transformation: g(X)=β0+β1(AGE)+β2(CAN)+β3(CPR)+β4(INF)+β5(Race_01) +β6(Race_02)

There are total 7 parameters, including the intercept term of the model.

Question 3: Likelihood and Log-Likelihood

Likelihood Function: l(β)=∏_(i=1)^200▒〖ζ(Xi〗)

In the above equation, the Xi represents the set of covariates

ζ(Xi)=π(X_i )^(y_i ) (1-π〖(X_i ))〗^(〖1-y〗_i )

y_i=0 ,1
