Parameter Estimates

Estimate

The maximum likelihood estimate is the value of that maximizes the likelihood function over a valid range of parameter values. The computation of the maximum likelihood estimate requires an iterative computational procedure. The Fisher scoring algorithm is used, and the parameter estimates are the values obtained from the last iteration of the algorithm. For more information, see Overview of Logistic Regression Model.

Standard Error

The standard error estimates are the square roots of the diagonals of the estimated variance-covariance matrix. For more information, see Estimated Variance-Covariance Matrix.
