Need help with logistic regression

MladenM
Hay, guys

I am looking for someone willing to help me with my science project. I need someone who can do logistic regression and here's the thing: I was doing a research on the prevalence of the early childhood caries (ECC) on the group of 112 children. Parents also got the test with 10 questions (multiple choice answers) about risk factors. I need someone to do logistic regression and find out the correlation between the risk factors and the presence of the ECC. I made the data base with all the answers and the goal is to find out witch factor or factors led to the development of ECC. I go to medical school and statistics is not something I'm familiar with and i have very little time.
If there is someone who can help me, please e-mail me to send you a data base!

What medical school, and are you supposed to be getting someone else to run your analysis?  Have you seen this?

   http://statpages.org/logistic.html

Also, be aware that the limiting sample size for logistic regression is the number of events, not the number of observations, where event = the outcome category with the lower count.  To avoid overfitting the model, you should have at least 10 events per model parameter, although 15-20 events per parameter would be better.

HTH.
