Hi, If I have the following output from a binary logistic regression can
I interpret it as follows
Driver Odds
Ratio Interpretation
Q55D. I am a Government official 2.35
2.35 times more likely to Participate
Q58A. I have Attended a public meeting or rally 3.76
3.76 times more likely to Participate
Live in Birmingham 0.66
1.5 times less likely to Participate
Live in Luton 1.77
1.77 times more likely to Participate
I am looking at predicting particpation, i.e. if a respondent
participates = 1 or if they do not = 0.
Is it OK to say that if you live in Birmingahm you are 1.5 times less
likely to particpate (1/0.66) than if you do not live in birmingham. Or
should I be saying that if you live in Birmingham the likelihood to
particpate drops by 34%. Or are these saying exactly the same thing?
Thanks
Jamie
