Users of logistic regression models often need to describe the overall predictive strength, or effect size, of the model's predictors. Analogs of R[superscript 2] have been developed, but none of these measures are interpretable on the same scale as effects of individual predictors. Furthermore, R[superscript 2] analogs are not invariant to the…

A detailed multisite evaluation of instructional software, the ConStatS package, designed to help students conceptualize introductory probability and statistics, yielded patterns of error on several assessment items. Results from 739 college students demonstrated 10 misconceptions that may be among the most difficult concepts to teach. (SLD)

Cox (1972) proposed a discrete-time survival model that is somewhat analogous to the proportional hazards model for continuous time. Efron (1988) showed that this model can be estimated using ordinary logistic regression software, and Singer and Willett (1993) provided a detailed illustration of a particularly flexible form of the model that…
