<p>My question is about logistic regression, and I want you to advise me to use the appropriate method for my problem. Here is the description:</p> <p>My goal is to determine the risk factors for a disease (a virus) which has many types. One individual can be infected with many types, and every type has a "rated risk"...

<p>I read an article that says the dependent variables in a regression model must be normally distributed. The way i understand it, is that the observations for the regression model must then be normally distributed. Or in other words if i choose sample data from a population then the sample must be normally distribute...
