I am trying to run a logistic regression analysis of default/non-default for coporate bonds,
prob of default = 1/(1+exp(-f(x)), f(x) = b0 + b1*x1 + b2*x2
x1 (Dist_to_DFLT) is a continouse variable, and x2 (CreditStateCategory) is a state variable with 4 different states. I am following the example here to fit a Logistic Regression model.
My code is:
modelspec1 = 'DefaultFlag ~ Dist_to_DFLT*CreditStateCategory - Dist_to_DFLT:CreditStateCategory';
mdl1 = fitglm(Analytics_Data_AllPeriods_Train,modelspec1,'Distribution','binomial')
And the output is:
mdl1 =
Generalized linear regression model:
logit(DefaultFlag) ~ 1 + Dist_to_DFLT + CreditStateCategory
Distribution = Binomial
Estimated Coefficients:

169282 observations, 169277 error degrees of freedom
Dispersion: 1
Chi^2-statistic vs. constant model: 8e+03, p-value = 0
My question is why my regression model doesn't generate the cross-terms like: Sex*Age, Sex*Weight, Age*Weight etc?
mdl =
Generalized linear regression model:
logit(Smoker) ~ 1 + Sex*Age + Sex*Weight + Age*Weight
Distribution = Binomial
