Hi, Alejandro and All.

My variable is really an original dichotomous with 0/1 values.

Hi Johnny and all,

 

Let me please add myself to the same question. I will also try to bring two possibilities:

 

I had a very similar situation (70/930) and I was told that I could use the ordinal logistic regression if ‘ordinal’ makes sense for the data (because although I had two values, original variable was a Likert scale). So, Johnny, do you have an original dichotomous variable or is it a recoding of a non-dichotomous variable?

 

If ordinal doesn’t make sense, I was told that I could use ‘count models’, apparently designed for unequal variable distribution, like the Zero-inflated Poisson Regression or the Zero-truncated Poisson Regression. I haven’t done my homework yet and I don’t know these models but I believe they are not available in SPSS: https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/other/dae/

 

Kind regards,

A

Asunto: Binary Logistic Regression for Rare Events

 

Hi, SPSS Users:

 

Is there a specialized algorithm in SPSS that handles Binary Logistic Regression for rare events?  Rare events happen if, for example, you have a sample size of 1000 but only 20 events.

 

How rare events are handled in SPSS?

 

Thank you.
