Do not worry about the SE. The SE listed on the output is the SE of the log odds. You can use the estimate (beta) and SE from the listing to compute a confidence interval (CI)as follows: CI exp(beta-1.96*SE) to exp(beta-1.96*SE) John John Sorkin Chief Biostatistics and Informatics Univ. of Maryland School of Medicine Division of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine jsor...@grecc.umaryland.edu -----Original Message----- From: Bessy <piglet...@hotmail.com> To: <r-help@r-project.org>
Sent: 7/27/2010 11:40:33 AM Subject: [R] standard error of Binary logistic regression coefficient. Dear all, I am struggling with the calculation of standard error of the coefficient in Binary logistic regression analysis. I built a binary logsitic regression model as follows and got confused since the calculation of standard error of coefficients of X1, X2 and X3 are not the same as the Linear regression. > fit4 <-glm(Y~X1+X2+X3,data=d4,family=binomial("logit")) Warning message: In glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, : fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred > summary(fit4) Call: glm(formula = Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3, family = binomial("logit"), data = d4) Deviance Residuals: Min 1Q Median 3Q Max -1.641483e+00 -8.421161e-05 0.000000e+00 1.349398e-03 1.417550e+00 Coefficients: Estimate Std.

Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
