Comment from the Stata technical group

The second edition of Applied Logistic Regression, by David W. Hosmer and Stanley Lemeshow, provides an excellent updated reference to the advances in methodology in logistic regression that have taken place over the last 10 years.

While the first edition has served as one of the few comprehensive treatments of logistic regression available, the second edition introduces many enhancements in the areas of assessing model fit, estimation using data from complex survey samples, regression models for multinomial data, ordinal data, and data with correlated responses. Also, the text now covers exact tests and sample size calculations.

Many of the analyses in the book were performed in Stata and can be replicated in Stata with data from the text. In particular, Stata’s svy: logit command can be used to fit logistic regression models with survey data. To download the data in Stata format, click here.
