For the logistic regression model, the response variables u is :

  • A.binary
  • B.discrete with finite sample space consisting of more than two values
  • C.discrete with countably infinite sample space
  • D.continuous

Answer: A

In the logistic regression model the response is binary.

Logistic regression models the probability of a two-category outcome, success or failure, coded 1 and 0, through

\[ \begin{aligned} \log\frac{p}{1 - p} &= \beta_{0} + \beta_{1}x_{1} \\ &\quad + \cdots + \beta_{k}x_{k} \end{aligned} \]

so each response is a Bernoulli variable with success probability \(p\) depending on the predictors.

A response with finitely many (more than two) categories needs multinomial or ordinal logistic regression. Counts with a countably infinite range are handled by Poisson regression, and a continuous response by ordinary linear regression. These are the generalisations the distractors describe, not the logistic model itself.
