Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: What if my response variable is binary categorical? This paper provides an intuitive introduction to logistic regression, the most appropriate statistical technique to deal with dichotomous dependent variables. Materials and Methods: we estimate the effect of corruption scandals on the chance of reelection of candidates running for the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies using data from Castro and Nunes (2014). Specifically, we show the computational implementation in R and we explain the substantive interpretation of the results. Results: we share replication materials which quickly enables students and professionals to use the procedures presented here for their studying and research activities. Discussion: we hope to facilitate the use of logistic regression and to spread replication as a data analysis teaching tool.

Created in 1993, it appears in the months of June and November. Open to scientific debate, the Revista de Sociologia e Política intends to be a pluralist space to divulge the results of substantive research, mainly of sociologists and political scientists. It publishes, preferably in Portuguese, original articles and critical reviews of recently edited works. The Revista de Sociologia e Política give priority to manuscripts whose main theme pertains to politics and the political.
