# Check outcome prevalence
table(data$diabetes)
prop.table(table(data$diabetes))
# Should be ~40% prevalence (100 cases)

# === STEP 1: Descriptive Statistics ===
summary(data)

# Outcome by predictor
ggplot(data, aes(x=age, y=diabetes)) +
  geom_point(alpha=0.3, position=position_jitter(height=0.05)) +
  geom_smooth(method="glm", method.args=list(family="binomial"), se=TRUE) +

  labs(title="Diabetes Diagnosis by Cholesterol",
       x="Total Cholesterol(mg/dL)", y="Diabetes(0=No, 1=Yes)") +
  theme_classic()

# === STEP 2: Fit Logistic Regression Model ===
model <- glm(diabetes ~ age + cholesterol, data=data, family=binomial(link="logit"))
summary(model)

# Output interpretation:
# Coefficients are in log-odds (logit) scale
# Age: β=0.048, p<.001 (positive: older age increases diabetes odds)
# Cholesterol: β=0.014, p<.001 (positive: higher cholesterol increases diabetes odds)

# === STEP 3: Exponentiate to Get Odds Ratios ===
OR <- exp(coef(model))
CI <- exp(confint(model))  # 95% CI for OR

cat("\n=== Odds Ratios with 95% CI ===")
print(cbind(OR = OR, CI))

# Interpretation:
# Age: OR=1.049 (95% CI [1.025, 1.074])
#   For each 1-year increase in age, odds of diabetes increase by 4.9%
#   For 10-year increase: OR = 1.049^10 = 1.61 (61% increase)
# Cholesterol: OR=1.014 (95% CI [1.007, 1.022])
#   For each 1 mg/dL increase, odds increase by 1.4%
#   For 50 mg/dL increase: OR = 1.014^50 = 2.01 (101% increase, i.e., doubles)

# === STEP 4: Check Assumptions ===

# 1. Binary outcome
table(data$diabetes)
# Confirmed: exactly 2 values (0, 1)

# 2. Independence
cat("\nIndependence: Verified by study design(no repeated measures, no clustering)\n")

# 3. Sample size (events per variable, EPV)
n_events <- min(sum(data$diabetes==0), sum(data$diabetes==1))
n_predictors <- 2
EPV <- n_events / n_predictors
cat("\nEvents per variable(EPV):", EPV, "\n")
cat("EPV ≥ 10:", EPV >= 10, "(adequate sample size)\n")

# 4. Multicollinearity: VIF
# Note: VIF not directly available for GLM, use auxiliary linear regression
library(car)
vif(model)
# Both VIF < 2: No multicollinearity

# 5. Linearity of logit: Box-Tidwell test
# Add interaction between continuous predictors and their logs
data$age_log <- log(data$age)
data$chol_log <- log(data$cholesterol)
box_tidwell <- glm(diabetes ~ age + age:age_log + cholesterol + cholesterol:chol_log,
                   data=data, family=binomial)
summary(box_tidwell)
# If age:age_log and cholesterol:chol_log are non-significant (p>.05), linearity OK
cat("\nBox-Tidwell test: If interactions non-significant, linearity of logit met\n")

# 6. Complete separation check
cat("\nNo convergence warnings → No complete separation\n")
cat("No extremely large coefficients(|β| < 5) → No separation\n")

# 7. Influential outliers: Deviance residuals
dev_resid <- residuals(model, type="deviance")

# === STEP 5: Model Fit & Diagnostics ===

# Pseudo R-squared
library(DescTools)
PseudoR2(model, which="all")
# McFadden R²: 0.2-0.4 indicates good fit
# Nagelkerke R²: analogous to OLS R², 0-1 scale

# Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test
library(ResourceSelection)
hl_test <- hoslem.test(data$diabetes, fitted(model), g=10)
print(hl_test)
# p > .05 indicates good fit (model predictions match observed)

# Likelihood ratio test (overall model significance)
model_null <- glm(diabetes ~ 1, data=data, family=binomial)
anova(model_null, model, test="Chisq")
# Significant χ² indicates model improves over null

# === STEP 6: Prediction & Classification ===

# Predicted probabilities
data$pred_prob <- predict(model, type="response")
