Conditional logistic regression
Okay kiddo, let me explain conditional logistic regression to you in a simple way.
Have you ever played a matching game? Like where you flip over cards and try to find matching pairs? Suppose you have a bunch of cards with different designs and colors, and you want to match them up in pairs based on their color.
So, you start with one card and choose another card that has the same color as the first one. Then, you repeat this process and try to match up all the cards with their corresponding pairs.
That's kind of like what conditional logistic regression is doing. Only it's doing it with data instead of cards.
It's a statistical method used to analyze data where we have multiple observations for each sample unit (like people, animals, or things). We want to see if there's any relationship between these observations and some other variables.
Think of it like a game of cards, where each observation is like a card with its own color and design. We want to match up the pairs based on some variables which we think might be related to the observations.
To do this, we use math formulas to find the best match for each observation with a matching pair, based on the variables we're interested in. This helps us find patterns and relationships between the observations and the variables, and we can use this information to make predictions about future observations.
So, in short, we use conditional logistic regression to match up pairs of data based on certain variables and find out how they're related to each other.
