Hello, I am doing logistic regression in R on a binary dependent variable with only one independent variable. I found the odd ratio as 0.99 for an outcomes. This can be shown in following. Odds ratio is defined as, ratio_odds(H) = Probability(X=H) / (1-Probability(X=H)). As given earlier ratio_odds (H) = 0.99 which implies that the probability (X=H) = 0.497 which is close to 50% probability. This implies that the probability for having a H cases or non H cases 50% under the given condition of independent variable. This does not seem realistic from the data as only ~20% are found as H cases. Please give clarifications and proper explanations of this kind of cases in logistic regression. Thanks all for your help!
