Linear regression
Let's assume, we have the following linear regression model:
Then, the difference between two outcomes is going to be as follows:The difference is then as follows:
We can say that one-unit increase in x, when other parameters held constant, results in b1 increase in y.
Logistic regression
while p is the probability of an event.
The difference between outcomes is
Similarly to the linear regression case, let's assume that x has a one-unit increase, while z is held constant. Then:
We can say that one-unit increase in x, when other parameters held constant, increases the odds of the event times.
In other words, one-unit increase in x, when other parameters held constant, results in increase in the odds of the event.
Difference
The main difference in the interpretation of coefficients in linear and logistic regression models is that in linear regression, we talk about the dependent variable (y), while in logistic regression, we talk about odds of an event.
Another difference is the way of calculating the change (using the exponent or not).
