Abstract

The phenomenon of quasi-complete separation that appears in the identification of the neuromuscular system called muscle spindle by a logistic regression model is considered. The system responds when it is affected by a number of stimuli. Both the response and the stimuli are very long binary sequences of events. In the logistic model, three functions are of special interest: the threshold, the recovery and the summation functions. The maximum likelihood estimates are obtained efficiently and very fast by using the penalized likelihood function. A validity test for the fitted model based on the randomized quantile residuals is proposed. The validity test is transformed to a goodness of fit test and the use of Q–Q plot is also discussed.
