Hi,

Suppose a binomial GLM with both continuous as well as categorical predictors (sometimes referred to as GLM-ANCOVA, if I remember correctly). For the categorical predictors = indicator variables, is then there a suggested minimum frequency of each level ? Would such a rule/ recommendation be dependent on the y-side too ?

Example: N is quite large, a bit > 100. Observed however are only 0/1s (so Bernoulli random variables, not Binomial, because the covariates are from observations and in general always different between observations). There are two categorical predictors, each with 2 levels. It would structurally probably also make sense to allow an interaction between those, yielding de facto a single categorical predictor with 4 levels. Is then there a minimum of observations falling in each of the 4 level category (either absolute or relative), or also that plus also considering the y-side ?

thanks !
Thomas
