The @subcmd{/CRITERIA} subcommand is used to specify how the number of extracted factors (components) are chosen.
If @subcmd{FACTORS(@var{n})} is
specified, where @var{n} is an integer, then @var{n} factors will be extracted. Otherwise, the @subcmd{MINEIGEN} setting will
-be used. @subcmd{MINEIGEN(@var{l})} requests that all factors whose eigenvalues are greater than or equal to @var{l} are extracted.
-The default value of @var{l} is 1. The @subcmd{ECONVERGE} and @subcmd{ITERATE} settings have effect only when iterative algorithms for factor

+
+Bivariate Logistic Regression is used when you want to explain a dichotomous dependent
+variable in terms of one or more predictor variables.
+
+The minimum command is
+@example
+LOGISTIC REGRESSION @var{y} WITH @var{x1} @var{x2} @dots{} @var{xn}.
+@end example
+Here, @var{y} is the dependent variable, which must be dichotomous and @var{x1} @dots{} @var{xn}
+are the predictor variables whose coefficients the procedure estimates.
+
+By default, a constant term is included in the model.
+Hence, the full model is
+@math{
+{\bf y}
+= b_0 + b_1 {\bf x_1}
++ b_2 {\bf x_2}
++ \dots
++ b_n {\bf x_n}
+}
+
+Predictor variables which are categorical in nature should be listed on the @subcmd{/CATEGORICAL} subcommand.
+Simple variables as well as interactions between variables may be listed here.
+
+If you want a model without the constant term @math{b_0}, use the keyword @subcmd{/ORIGIN}.
+@subcmd{/NOCONST} is a synonym for @subcmd{/ORIGIN}.
+
+An iterative Newton-Raphson procedure is used to fit the model.
+The @subcmd{/CRITERIA} subcommand is used to specify the stopping criteria of the procedure,
+and other parameters.
+The value of @var{cut_point} is used in the classification table. It is the
+threshold above which predicted values are considered to be 1. Values
+of @var{cut_point} must lie in the range [0,1].
+During iterations, if any one of the stopping criteria are satisfied, the procedure is
+considered complete.
+The stopping criteria are:
+@itemize
+@item The number of iterations exceeds @var{max_iterations}.
+ The default value of @var{max_iterations} is 20.
+@item The change in the all coefficient estimates are less than @var{min_delta}.
+The default value of @var{min_delta} is 0.001.
+@item The magnitude of change in the likelihood estimate is less than @var{min_likelihood_delta}.
+The default value of @var{min_delta} is zero.
+This means that this criterion is disabled.
+@item The differential of the estimated probability for all cases is less than @var{min_epsilon}.
+In other words, the probabilities are close to zero or one.
+The default value of @var{min_epsilon} is 0.00000001.
+@end itemize
+
+
+The @subcmd{PRINT} subcommand controls the display of optional statistics.
+Currently there is one such option, @subcmd{CI}, which indicates that the
+confidence interval of the odds ratio should be displayed as well as its value.
+@subcmd{CI} should be followed by an integer in parentheses, to indicate the
+confidence level of the desired confidence interval.
+
+The @subcmd{MISSING} subcommand determines the handling of missing
+variables.
+If @subcmd{INCLUDE} is set, then user-missing values are included in the
+calculations, but system-missing values are not.
+If @subcmd{EXCLUDE} is set, which is the default, user-missing
+values are excluded as well as system-missing values.
+This is the default.
