[R] [Fwd: Re: Coefficients of Logistic Regression from bootstrap - how to get them?]

[Michal Figurski]

I think the argument supporting the use of bootstrap to determine
coefficients, as opposed to just running linear regression on the whole
dataset, is the comparison of Rsq and prediction errors between these
two approaches - page 1502. There's a substantial difference in favor of
the bootstrap approach.
