摘要

This chapter explores the application of Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) in modeling binary outcomes within the context of infection-related diseases following hospital procedures. Using data from the All of Us Research Program, we compare frequentist and Bayesian logistic regression approaches, integrating both non-informative and informative priors. Furthermore, we introduce penalized regression techniques such as Ridge and LASSO and their Bayesian counterparts with shrinkage priors to address multicollinearity and high dimensionality. Our findings highlight the robustness of endocrine and respiratory disorders, as well as intubation and transplant procedures, as strong predictors of post-procedural infection. This chapter underscores the flexibility and interpretability of modern regression techniques in real-world epidemiological research.
