Logistic Regression Example using Minitab
A manufacturer of mobile phones is interested in studying the durability of the device when dropped. A drop test study was performed dropping phones at various heights (from 1 to 8 feet in height) and observing the number tested that experience some type of fracture of the screen. Two material types were part of the study (A and B with B being the more expensive and hopefully more durable material - 50% more expensive to manufacture). Using the data in the .xls file FRACTURE TEST, build a logistic regression model (for each material type) that predicts the proportion of the screens expected to fracture as a function of the height of the drop. Use the results to describe the durability of the screens comparing the two materials. Examples of some questions to address are: Is Material B substantially more durable than A? Do you think it justifies the additional Manufacturing cost? What height do your models predict 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the screens will fracture for each materia...
