A free-knot spline modeling framework for piecewise linear logistic regression in complex samples with body mass index and mortality as an example

This paper details the design, evaluation, and implementation of a framework for detecting and modeling nonlinearity between a binary outcome and a continuous predictor variable adjusted for covariates in complex samples. The framework provides familiar-looking parameterizations of output in terms o...
