If some variables of a logistic regression models are non significant, should they be considered for a risk index calculation?
Should the logistic model include only relevant variables?

Thanks for the attention.

If you have enough data to statistically determine the variables are non significant, then you can include them and you should get a 0 coefficient (probably not literally). Regression only gets interesting when your data is small for the number of predictors you want to include, in which case throwing in extra predictors you know are bad is going to cause issues.
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
