Abstract EN
Logistic regression and discriminant analyses are both applied in order to predict the probability of a specific categorical outcome based upon several explanatory variables (predictors).
The aim of this work is to evaluate the convergence of these two methods when they are applied in data from the health sciences.
For this purpose, we modeled the association of several factors with the prevalence of asthma symptoms with both the two methods and compared the result.
In conclusion, logistic and discriminant analyses resulted in similar models.
