A study is conducted to determine factors in solving missing persons cases. The outcome is Y; which is equal to 1 if the i-th missing person case is unsolved and 0 if it is solved. Let covariate X1; be an indicator equal to 1 if the i-th case is female and 0 for male. Let X2i be a categorical covariate of age group for the i-th case. Categories are less than 14 years old (base level/group), between 14 and 19 years old, and older than 19 years. Set µ = P(Y = 1) and the following model is fit: logit(µ) = Bo + B1I(Female) + B2I(14 to 19 yrs old) + B3I(> 19 yrs old) The output from the model is below: Estimate S.E. p-value Во -4.565 0.128 0.380 0.087 -0.198 0.042 0.163 B3 1.128 0.133 a. Using the logistic regression output, calculate the estimated odds ratio of a case being unsolved (again Y=1 is unsolved and Y=0 is solved) comparing females to males (female is the numerator odds) of the same age. Interpret this odds ratio in context of the problem. iii b. Create a 95% confidence interval for the odds ratio in part a. Does this interval give evidence that there is an effect of being female on the odds of case being unsolved. c. Interpret the coefficient estimate (or a function of) B3 = 1.128 within context of the problem. Remember that the base age group is younger than 14 years old.
