Data generation for the logistic regression model under controlled conditions
Abstract
Generating data with desired properties for a logistic regression model under controlled conditions is challenging. We propose an integrated iterative bisection algorithm that determines values of the intercept and regression coefficients capable of generating data with a specified prevalence and predictive accuracy. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated through simulation studies. We further show that the choice of parameter values, or, in a Bayesian setting, the choice of priors for these parameters, induces a particular level of predictive accuracy. This relationship should therefore be taken into account when generating data for model evaluation under controlled conditions.
