Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable in logistic regression is categorical, with only two levels. This is because logistic regression is used to model the probability of a binary outcome (e.g. yes/no, success/failure), which can only take on two values. Therefore, the dependent variable must also have only two levels.
