The chapter then provides methods to detect false convergence, and to make accurate estimation of logistic regressions. Topics include: maximum likelihood estimation of logistic regression computational problems arising from complete separation and quasi-complete separation a comparison of the ability of popular statistical packages to detect and report false convergence methods for avoiding quasi-separation: omitting variables, combing categories methods for robust and accurate logistic regression: exact inference, Bayesian estimation, penalized maximum likelihood estimation Citing Literature Numerical Issues in Statistical Computing for the Social Scientist RelatedInformation
