How to convert coefficient of binary logistic regressoin to odds ratio
About a binary logistic regression formula,
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & \log Y = \\ & \log \left ( \frac{p}{1-p} \right ) = a + b_1X_1 + b_2X_2 + b_3X_3 + \cdots \end{align} }[/math]
adding 1 to [math]\displaystyle{ X_1 }[/math] makes probablity [math]\displaystyle{ p\prime }[/math] as,
- [math]\displaystyle{ \log \left ( \frac{p\prime}{1-p\prime} \right ) = a + b_1(X_1 + 1) + b_2X_2 + b_3X_3 + \cdots }[/math]
Subtraction of above two equations makes,
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \log \left ( \frac{p\prime}{1-p\prime} \right ) - \log \left ( \frac{p}{1-p} \right ) & = b_1(X_1 + 1) - b_1X_1 \\ & = b_1 \\ \Leftrightarrow \frac {\left ( \dfrac{p\prime}{1-p\prime} \right )}{ \left ( \dfrac{p}{1-p} \right ) } & = e^{b_1} \end{align} }[/math]
Here [math]\displaystyle{ \Leftrightarrow \frac {\left ( \dfrac{p\prime}{1-p\prime} \right )}{ \left ( \dfrac{p}{1-p} \right ) } }[/math] is the odds ratio of the probablity [math]\displaystyle{ p\prime }[/math] after 1 is added to [math]\displaystyle{ X_1 }[/math] to the probability [math]\displaystyle{ p }[/math], so [math]\displaystyle{ e\{b_1} }[/math] is the conversion of coefficient [math]\displaystyle{ b_1 }[/math] to obtain the odds ratio when variable [math]\displaystyle{ X_1 }[/math] gains 1.
