Abstract

In this study, we will consider the problem of relating a qualitative dependent variable to one or more independent variables, which may or may not be qualitative. This problem has its multivariate analogous as well, when the dependent and independent variables are related by a logistic function, the model is often referred to as a logistic regression. A step-up (forward) selection procedure from the set of the independent variables, involving all the 63 variables in our data set, was carried out. The forward selection procedure begins by fitting the intercept. It then solves each of the models with only one independent variable. A Linear Logistic Regression (LLR) models was fitted for the response variable Y, is 0 for child having diarrhea disease and 1 for a child having no diarrhea using the selected subset of variables obtained from the step-up procedure for Dakahlia and Sohag Governates together based on 1020 observations, for Dakahlia Governate based on 660 observations, for Sohag Governate based on 330 observation.
