Logistic Regression - Normalization does not change Attribute Weights

cem_akyuz

Hello,

I am new here and in general with statistics and data mining. Apologies if I am asking a really stupid question.

My question is about logistic regression and normalizing data. I have a data set with some columns skewed and have different scales. So I wanted to apply normalization (including centering, scaling and Box Cox transformation for skewness) prior to logistic regression. But instead I wanted to check to what extent normalization changes the results.

I see that normalization prior to logistic regression changes the coefficients however attribute weights are exactly same with and without normalization. Am I missing something here?

Attached you can find my design for the analysis. (Logistic Regression and Normalization added with default settings)

Try outputting the PRE port on the Normalization operator, that will tell you how it's normalizing the data.

By default the operatorLogistic Regressionnormalizes the data (but uses the wordstandardizeinstead of normalize). Uncheck the option 'standardize'. It does make a difference to the coefficients whether you normalize or not. Check the process below

谢谢,当我删除框(正常化I do not need anymore as logistic regression has standardize in it) I could repeat the process with and without standardize option. Then I can see that attribute weights changed in each iteration.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, i wanted to have an explanation on logistic regression results from rapidminer. I wanted to know whether the p-values can be used to calculate odd ratios and how can it be interpreted.
