In this paper, an analysis of two-way binary attribute data is performed using the logistic regression model in order to find a sound statistical methodology. It is demonstrated that the ANOVA may not be enough, especially for the case that the proportion is very low or high. The logistic transformation of proportion data could be a help, but not sound in the statistical sense. The adoption of generalized least squares(GLS) method entails much to estimate the variance-covariance matrix. On the other hand, the logistic regression methodology provides sound statistical background in estimating model parameters and related confidence intervals. The efficiencies of estimates are ensured with a simulated data with a view to demonstrate the usefulness of the methodology.
