Interpreting coefficients - log regression
I would like to confirm if I have understood correctly:
being log regression, the coefficients to interpret that would be like the "beta" in the linear model are the "odds ratio"; In this case, since all are positive that you have a pet, children or a reason of absenteeism is declared, the probability of absenteeism increases.

Hi Marta,
The first part of your question: being log regression, the coefficients to interpret that would be like the “beta” in the linear model are the “odds ratio” is correct.
Regarding the second part - it is always positive.
If the odds ratio is >1 then it has a positive effect.
If the odds ratio is <1 then it has a negative effect.
