In multinomial regression choose correct statement-
I. In multinomial logistic regression, we use the concept of one vs rest classification using binary classification technique of logistic regression.
II. Now, for example, let us have “K” classes. First, we divide the classes into two parts, “1 “represents the 1st class and “0” represents the rest of the classes, then we apply binary classification in this 2 class and determine the probability of the object to belong in 1st class vs rest of the classes.
III. we apply this technique for the “k” number of classes and return the class with the highest probability. By, this way we determine in which class the object belongs. In this way multinomial logistic regression works- a) Only statement (I) is correct.
- b) Only statement (II) is correct.
- c) Only statement (II) is correct.
- d) All of the above statements are correct.
Answer - d) All of the above statements are correct
-
While doing multinomial regression, choose the list of things which we must check to ensure that the final output is valid from below statements –
I. Your dependent variable must be Nominal. This does not mean that multinomial regression cannot be used for the ordinal variable. However, for multinomial regression, we need to run ordinal logistic regression.
II. You must convert your categorical independent variables to dummy variables.
III. There should be no multicollinearity.
IV. There should be a linear relationship between the dependent variable and continuous independent variables. As we cannot measure this directly between nominal and continuous variables what we do is we take logit transformation of the dependent variable.
V. Ensure that we do not have outliers and high influential points in the data.- a) Only statement (I).
- b) Only statement (II).
- c) Only statement (III).
- d) All of the above 5 statements.
Answer - d) All of the above 5 statements
