Third, empirical study wasmade to establish the model. And logistic regression was applied to verify the researchproposal. Later, paper drew the conclusion from statistic research and discussed theresults. Finally, suggestions are proposed in hope of making itself a meaningful work.The summary is given, as well as the research prospect.
