Hi All,
I am running logistic regression model using variable selection, variable transform with maximum normal and then again variables transform with optimal binning.
I am getting quite good roc index and miss-classification rate.
In the effects plot I have many variables in blue (i guess that means positive effect) and one variable with red column (negative effect).
but in the Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates many variables are negative and only one is positive i.e. exactly the opposite of the effect plot.
How to explain this?
Thank you!

Hi I have a quick answer for you. If you look at the legend below the chart, red is positive and blue is negative. That matches your Parameter Estimates.
Thanks,
Jonathan
Thank you Jonathan!
So, the moral is: always look to the legend 🙂

Gio
