* You may want/need to convert some of these variables to appropriate types/classes in order to fit a logistic model. I also recommend at least turning <code>year</code> into a factor and creating a centered version of the <code>age</code> variable (we can discuss this in class too). | * You may want/need to convert some of these variables to appropriate types/classes in order to fit a logistic model.

* It's a good idea to include the following in the presentation and interpretation of logistic model results: (1) a tabular summary/report of your fitted model including any goodness of fit statistics you can extract from R; (2) a transformation of the coefficient estimating treatment effects into an "odds ratio"; (3) model-predicted probabilities for prototypical study participants.
