%0 Journal Article %T A Comparative Study on Logistic Regression Model and PCA-Logistic Regression Model in Medical Diagnosis %A J.Padmavathi %J International Journal of Engineering and Technology %D 2012 %I IJET Publications %X Logistic regression is a simple statistical tool used in binary classification. LR is useful for situations in which we want to predict the presence or absence of a characteristic or outcome based on values of a set of predictor variables. Unlike LR, PCA is another technique used in feature extraction and in dimensionality reduction. This paper puts forth the experimental results of LR model and PCA-LR model in medical diagnosis, namely the CHD dataset. %K Logistic regression(LR) %K PCA %K feature extraction %K Coronary Heart Disease(CHD). %U http://iet-journals.org/archive/2012/august_vol_2_no_8/4698133931828.pdf
