Dear All,

Can someone help me with the following output while building a mode
using logistic regression:

Association of Predicted Probabilities and Observed Responses
Percent Concordant 66.5 Somers' D 0.335
Percent Discordant 32.9 Gamma 0.337
Percent Tied 0.6 Tau-a 0.115
Pairs 497522982 c 0.668

I want to understand the concept, and use of this statistic and how is
this calculated?

Regards.
From: Sierra Information Services on
These statistics are usually discussed/explained in an introductory
course on logistic regression / predictive modeling.

Hi Andrew,

Could you please point me a relevant link on internet where I can read
and understand these concepts both conceptually and mathematically.

Regards.

I think a "relevant link" to these concepts will be found when you
register/pay for, and then attend, a class on logistic regression.

Here is one explanation from SAS-L. You can find others if you search the wonderful SAS-L archives.
