Prism offers four ways to graph results of logistic regression.

Name

    X axis

    Y axis

Actual vs Predicted

    Actual (Entered) Y

    Predicted probability

ROC Curve

    1 - Specificity

    Sensitivity

Logistic Plot

    Actual (Entered) X

    Actual (Entered) Y

Proportion Correct vs Cutoff

    Cutoff value

    Proportion classified correctly

Actual vs. Predicted

The Actual vs Predicted plot generates a violin plot with two groups: one group contains the observations entered in the data table with a dependent (Y) value of 0, and the other with a Y value of 1. For each of these groups, Prism plots the corresponding predicted values (from the model) as a violin plot.

ROC Curve

The ROC curve evaluates classification performance. As is typical with ROC curves, the values are plotted on axes of Sensitivity and 1-Specificity for every possible cutoff value, where (for any given cutoff value):

Sensitivity is the number of values entered as 1 and correctly classified as 1, divided by the total number of values entered as 1

Specificity is the number of values entered as 0 and correctly classified as 0, divided by the total number of values entered as 0

Logistic Plot

The Logistic plot option is only available when a single predictor (X) variable is included in the model. This generates the typical S-Curve (or part of an S-Curve) that represents the predicted probability of Y=1 at the given X value. If two models are being compared (via the Compare tab), this option will be available only if both models contain only one predictor (main effect) in addition to an intercept term.

Proportion Correct vs. Cutoff

The Proportion Correct vs Cutoff graph is an alternative to looking at the ROC curve. Similar to the ROC curve, it investigates every possible cutoff value (the X axis for this graph), and plots the corresponding proportion of observations that were correctly classified for that cutoff.
