Est-il possible et souhaitable traduire sous forme de probabilites un coefficient logit ?- Réponse aux remarques formulées par Marion Selz à propos de mon article paru dans le BMS en 2010

Abstract

Is It Possible and Desirable to Translate a Logit Coefficient into Probabilities — Reply to Comments by Marion Selz on My BMS 2010 Article: Marion Selz responded to my BMS article on the translation of a logit coefficient into probabilities. I propose here to respond to her objections by showing that the translation is not a problem when one thoroughly understands what takes place. We first show the relationship between linear models and logistic models, and then the relationship between the translation of a logit coefficient and standardization in demography, and finally the sociological interest of such a translation in the general framework of logit modeling.
