Logistic regression has a single dichotomous outcome.
Cox regression models a survivorship curve.

The data are different. What other comparison do you need?


I am curious if anyone can describe the difference between
the Cox regression hazard ratio and the Mantel-Haenszel (1959)
odds ratio (called at the time, relative risk).
- MH computes across 2x2 tables. Do I remember right, that
there is a version valid for survivorship data across time?
- The MH statistic uses Pearson-type Expected-Observed for
computing a test. I think the Cox procedure is maximum
likelihood: Is that so? Is there any other difference?
