The prevalence in general population is 1 per cent for severe depression,
2 per cent for moderately severe depression, as reported in the Turkish Health
Survey 2022. These rare rates can exhibit
a separation problem resulting from the use of logit or probit
estimates.
This study attempts to compare
different generalized linear models to gauge possible the association between
invidiual's educational attainment and having depression, using
depression-related questions from the Türkiye Health Survey 2022. I carry out
logit estimation, clog-log link function, and firth logistic regression considering
their Akaike Information Criteria. It is anticipated that clog-log estimation
will outperform the other two models.
