Advantages of Advantages of Logistic RegressionLogistic Regression
• Calculates actual probability of detections, instead of assigning subjective categories such as “High Vulnerability”•Weighting and interaction of variables such as geology and soils is automatically evaluated by logistic regression•All possible combinations of independent variables such as land use and soils can be numerically evaluated, and the best model selected.• Can be used for pesticide data (few detections, concentrations near laboratory reporting limits)

AbstractAbstractGroundGround--water vulnerability water vulnerability typically typically has typically been assessed using qualitative methods has typically been assessed using qualitative methods expressed as relative measures of risk, like DRASTIC. The logistexpressed as relative measures of risk, like DRASTIC. The logistic regression approach has the ic regression approach has the advantage of having both model variables and coefficient values advantage of having both model variables and coefficient values determined on the basis of determined on the basis of existing waterexisting water-- quality information. Unlike DRASTquality information. Unlike DRASTIICC--type methods, type methods, the logistic regression the logistic regression approach approach it does not depend on the somewhat arbitrary assignment of variait does not depend on the somewhat arbitrary assignment of variables and weighting bles and weighting factors based on qualitative criteria. Logistic regression is a factors based on qualitative criteria. Logistic regression is a great way to rigorously relate mangreat way to rigorously relate man--made and natural factors to groundmade and natural factors to ground-- water quality. It usually produces more statistical confidence water quality. It usually produces more statistical confidence than regular multiple regression because logisticthan regular multiple regression because logisticalal regression tries to answer a simpler yesregression tries to answer a simpler yes or or /no /no question (contaminant exceeds threshold) rather than the multiplquestion (contaminant exceeds threshold) rather than the multiple regression question relating a e regression question relating a wide range of concentration values to contributing factors. Logiwide range of concentration values to contributing factors. Logistic regression can be used to stic regression can be used to assess assess groundground--water water aquifer susceptibility (relative ease with which contaminants wiaquifer susceptibility (relative ease with which contaminants will ll can can reach reach aquifer) and groundaquifer) and ground--water vulnerability (relative ease with which contaminants will water vulnerability (relative ease with which contaminants will reach aquifer reach aquifer for a given set of landfor a given set of land--use practices).
