The binary logistic regression model is used to analyze the school examination results (scores) of 1002 students. The analysis is performed on the basis of the independent variables viz. gender, medium of instruction, type of schools, category of schools, board of examinations and location of schools, where scores or marks are assumed to be dependent variables. The odds ratio analysis compares the scores obtained in two examinations viz. matriculation and higher secondary.
