In the present paper the prediction method using the logistic regression is explained, and the range of problems for its use is deliminated. The example is presented of mentioned method's application on how to predict the dog survival in a radiolobiological experiment. The obtained results are compared with the prediction of outcome using the linear discriminant function. Both models are identic in a proportion of erroneously classified subjects. This method may be diagnostically supportive in ranging individuals to one of two groups delimitated previously.
