Multinomial Logistic Regression
Multinomial Logistic Regression is a statistical method used to predict outcomes when there are more than two categories. Imagine trying to guess the favorite type of fruit among a group of people: options might include apples, bananas, or oranges. This method analyzes how various factors (like age or income) influence the chances of someone preferring one fruit over another. It uses mathematical relationships to provide probabilities for each category, helping us understand which factors are most important in determining choices. Essentially, it helps us make sense of complex decisions with multiple options.

Multinomial logistic regression is a statistical method used to predict outcomes with multiple categories, like choosing a favorite type of food (Italian, Mexican, or Chinese). It analyzes how various factors, such as age or income, influence these choices. By examining patterns in data, it helps to estimate the likelihood of each category being chosen. This technique is particularly useful when outcomes are not just yes or no, allowing researchers to understand preferences and behaviors in a more nuanced way across three or more options.
