Y = 0 OR 1 EXAMPLE

So far we have looked only at examples where we had multiple success-failure outcomes at each combination of
levels of the explanatory variables. Often, particularly when the explanatory variable(s) are numeric and
observational, we may have only one outcome at each combination of the levels of the explanatory varaibles. In
these cases our response variable Y is either 0 ( failure ) or 1 ( success ).

O-Ring Data Problem 4.5 on pages 123 124 in the text.

Explanatory variable = temperature at time of launch of space shuttle

Response = 1 if at least one primary O-ring suffered thermal distress n = 23 launches before Challenger

> temperature <- c(66,70,69,68,67,72,73,70,57,63,70,78,67,53,67,75,70,81,76,79,75,76,58)

> y <- c(0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1)
> logit.linear <- glm(y~temperature,family=binomial)
> summary(logit.linear)

Call:
glm(formula = y ~ temperature, family = binomial)
