Dear all
I am running a binary logistic regression with a set of dummy variables as
the independent variables. Some of the odds ratios are coming out really
high - 5.2, 3.4 etc. For my data, this doesn't make sense. I've read that
when you get high odds ratios like this, they are probably artificially high
because of low cell counts. In that case, why does the output still report
them as significant? Also, it gives me no way to know whether a result is
meaningful since then the significance levels don't mean much, right?
I'm using SPSS by the way. Related to this point, how can I get SPSS to
give me cell counts? It gives me the proportion who are either 1 or 0 for
the binary dependent variable but not for the dummy variables.
Thanks for any help
I've attached the output, if that helps. The dummy variables relate to
social classes.
