Logistic regression - How to?

Federica_FF

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to learn how to perform correctly a logistic regression.

 

Let's say I have a datasource1 with old data with 5 fields.

 

Field A is my target variable (yes/no)

Field B and C are qualitative

Field D and E are numeric, quantitative

 

And I also have a datasource2 with fresh data I want to use to score my prediction.

 

What's the best approach?

 

1) Should I only use the Regression Tool using all my fields as predictor variable and see which fields are significant? (Number of *** in the regression report?).

 

2) Or should I perform an association analysis, decide what fields are significant (table of contigency for qualitative fields and pearson/spearman correlation for the quantitative ones) and then only input the significant fields in the regression tool as predictive variables?
