Logistic Regression - Hosmer Lemeshow test
Hi, when evaluating predictions, look at the initial breakdown in the data, because while you can get a good overall hit rate (i use 80% as a simple rule of thumb), looking at the data, what was your sensitivity and specificity. In other words, does your model classify both sets of conditions (outcome a and outcome b) you are modelling well? Having a high percentage in one group, and getting them classified correctly can really make your overall hit rate misleading. I would chek your residuals (the difference between your expected as a probability) and the observed, and see which cases you are misclassifying, and which ones you are misclassifying really badly,and perhaps then try and profile them. Also, remember that statistical significance can be boosted by sample size (power), and if you have a lot of cases, your predictors can be significanct.
