Logistic regression measures the relationship between the categorical dependent variable and one or more independent variables, which are usually (but not necessarily) continuous, by using probability scores as the predicted values of the dependent variable.Thus, it treats the same set of problems as does probit regression AU90: The URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probit_regression has been redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probit_regression.

Please verify the URL. . The model of logistic regression, however, is based on quite different assumptions (about the relationship between dependent and independent variables) from those of linear regression. In particular the key differences of these two models can be seen in the following two features of logistic regression. First, the conditional mean p(y/x) follows a Bernoulli distribution AU95: The URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_distribution has been redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_distribution. Please verify the URL. rather than a Gaussian distribution AU96: The URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_distribution has been redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_distribution. Please verify the URL. , because logistic regression is a classifier. Second, the linear combination of the inputs is restricted to [0,1] through the logistic distribution function AU97: The URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function has been redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function.

KLR Approach as an Early Warning Indicator of Turkish Currency and Banking Crisis in 2000 and 2001

DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-9484-2.ch011
Abstract
International organizations as private sector institutions started to develop Early Warning System [EWS] models aiming to anticipate whether and when individual countries can collide with a financial crisis. EWS models can be made most useful to help sustain global growth and maintain financial stability, especially in light of the lessons learned from the current and past crises. This paper proposes Early Warning Systems (EWS) for Turkish Currency and Banking Crisis in 2000 and 2001. To that end “KLR model” or “signaling window” approach developed by Kaminski, Lorezondo and Reinhart (1998) is testified in the empirical part of this research and applied to a sample of Turkey macroeconomic data for the 1998-2003 monthly periods.
