| Abstract |
The present study is conducted to compare the classical method (standard logistic) with
an innovative method, â€a hybrid of relaxed lasso and ridge regression,†in which properties
of relax lasso and ridge regression are combined. We also illustrate the efficacy of
the proposed approach using both simulated and real-life data. The results suggest that
HRLR-logistic selects the best subsets compared to standard logistic. In addition, the study
identifies the elements that contribute to cesarean section in Pakistan. We find that education,
socio-economic status, utilization/availability of health services, and mother’s age are
remarkable factors associated with cesarean section. |
