Is the usage "multiple logistic regression analysis" correct?
I encountered a manuscript where the author writes:
Risk associations for metabolic syndrome and diabetes were analyzed using multiple logistic regression analyses..."
In this case, is the usage regression analyses correct? Isn't the word multiple logistic regression self-sufficient? I felt it was inaccurate to use analyzed twice in the same sentence.
Solution 1:
A correct parsing of this phrase would be:
multiple (Logistic Regression) analyses
Logistic regression is a separate term and is a statistical model. The writer is doing multiple analyses, all of which use logistic regression.
At its core, the sentence is:
Risk associations ... were analyzed using multiple ... analyses
So the associations were analyzed using multiple analyses. This seems grammatically and syntactically correct.
