Abstract
Statisticians and epidemiologists generally cite the publications by Prentice & Breslow and by Breslow et al. in 1978 as the first description and use of conditional logistic regression, while economists cite the 1973 book chapter by Nobel laureate McFadden. I will first review these, and describe how conditional logistic regression is used today. I will then describe the until-now-unrecognized use of, and way of fitting, this model in 1934 by Lionel Penrose and Ronald Fisher.
