Abstract
The logistic regression model is one of the most important regression analysis models in the case of metadata. Where this research included a comparison between the genetic algorithm method with the weighted least squares method, where a simulation experiment was conducted for different sample sizes (small, medium, large) (125,75,25). For three cases of default values that were set by the researcher for the values of the model parameters (B2, B1, B0) using the Monte-Carlo method for the purpose of arriving at the optimal method for estimating a multi-level logistic regression model, and the results showed that the genetic algorithm (GA) method It is better and more efficient than the weighted least squares (WLS) method at small sample sizes (25).
