Binary Logistic Regression for Raccoon Visits to My Backyard
It's that time of the year! No, I don't mean April showers bring May flowers, I mean the time when our fellow wild life animals like to visit our backyards often in search for food. Our raccoon friends have become a bit of an annoyance though since they like to sometimes use our deck as latrine. So, I've been collecting some data and have decided to run a binary logistic regression with the help of SigmaXL statistical package to predict the probability that these masked bandits may (or may not) show up. For that, I've been using a safe and natural repellent (I won't broadcast but, it's coyote urine) to help me in discouraging the presence of the poopy animals around our property. The Data Here's a snapshot of the data I've been collecting. As you can see, the outcome (Y: Raccoon Appearance) expected is a binary (dichotomous) variable. I'm trying to figure out if Mr. Coon and friends will show up or not given certain predictors. I've been trackin...
