The use of the logistic model in space motion sickness prediction

The one-equation and the two-equation logistic models were used to predict subjects' susceptibility to motion sickness in KC-135 parabolic flights using data from other ground-based motion sickness tests. The results show that the logistic models correctly predicted substantially more cases (an average of 13 percent) in the data subset used for model building. Overall, the logistic models ranged from 53 to 65 percent predictions of the three endpoint parameters, whereas the Bayes linear discriminant procedure ranged from 48 to 65 percent correct for the cross validation sample.
