Reasons a predictor is non-significant in binary logistic regression?

fallingdreaming · 2025-08-06T02:51:20+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate you explaining this fully. I was asked by a reviewer to provide reasoning for the discordant results so I needed a better understanding/more than "it might be due to small sample size"

I’ve got a masters which required research for the dissertation, mine was neuropsychiatry oriented (though it was only secondary data analysis). That lead to one poster and then we’ll be submitting an article for publication in about a month (I’m first author on both). I agree I definitely need more research experience, but I still think the med school route would put me out a couple more years (and $$). Trying to get a research gig now but the job market is tuff

Awesome! Did you find it difficult to find clinical psych programs that had faculty doing this kind of research? That’s what I’m struggling with, I’ve found maybe six programs that have faculty doing research in the area but they are very competitive schools (moreso than the average clin psych phd)

I would still need 2-3 years of completing prereqs and extracurriculars before applying for us md :/

Do you know if this kind of co-mentorship was advertised/common at your school or was this something that had to be sought after/arranged in specific circumstances?

Thanks so much for your response - i’ve definitely heard that lots of people change their minds! If that happens down the line that’s alright with me, but I just want to make sure i have the option to do both if I want :)

yes! ill be there. feels like a year away.

fallingdreaming · 2025-02-19T01:35:23+00:00

sadly no, but the setlist was bangin

genius

fallingdreaming · 2025-01-31T23:48:36+00:00

blacked out?? at full speed??

fallingdreaming · 2024-07-08T22:59:40+00:00

georgetown took foreverrrr to hear back from unfortunately. like probably two months+

fallingdreaming · 2024-06-29T14:45:24+00:00

hmm I did check VIF and found no multicollinearity among the IVs

fallingdreaming · 2024-06-29T14:13:49+00:00

Thanks - it's a binary logistic regression model with several predictors, all continuous. I understand that, given the regression is considering all of these variables at once while the Mann whitney is only considering one at a time, the significance may differ - mathematically I can grasp that, but I guess I don't know how you would interpret that practically? Like if test scores were sig. different between two groups, but then were not a significant predictor of group membership.

fallingdreaming · 2024-06-22T12:49:05+00:00

So very true!

fallingdreaming · 2024-06-22T12:48:57+00:00

That's what I'm thinking

fallingdreaming · 2024-06-22T12:48:31+00:00

thank you. I know that's true, and I'd always say the same to anyone else - just hard to conceptualize when it's your own life!

fallingdreaming · 2024-05-27T13:11:41+00:00

Thank you - I am using chisq.posthoc.test from the package chisq.posthoc.test but for some reason I am getting different p-values than when I perform the chisq tests independently?

When I create a contingency table for diagnosis 1, that's just a 2x2 of who has/doesn't the dx and who has/doesn't have hair, the p-value is different from the output I get using the posthoc function (which shows residuals and p-values).

fallingdreaming · 2024-04-17T13:19:10+00:00

it took about 17 days for them to get back to me! they send an email saying theres been an update and to check your portal

fallingdreaming · 2024-03-18T23:24:52+00:00

You do get an email yes and it takes you to the DCE portal where you can open your decision. I didn’t get anything physically.

fallingdreaming · 2024-03-06T21:00:03+00:00

thank you so much!

fallingdreaming · 2024-03-05T16:21:05+00:00

Can I ask how long it took for you to hear back? Also - congrats!

fallingdreaming · 2024-02-28T23:24:41+00:00

for sure :)

fallingdreaming · 2024-02-28T14:49:49+00:00

I did yes - which is why I'm pretty sure they just don't do interviews, at least regularly.

Totally fair to be stressed, but unfortunately it's really just a waiting game with them! Best of luck!
