Hi Bill,

I once modelled a hysteresis phenomenon (on binary data) with a simple logistic model. I am not sure I understand how this pattern appears in your data, but in my previous analyses, it appeared as an order effect: The response increased in probability later with increasing than with decreasing values of the predictor.

I then simply created a binary variable for the decreasing and increasing conditions, and the coefficient on this variable was a direct and testable measure of hysteresis.

In some cases, you can directly model the bimodal conditional distribution of the response. This is what I did here with a beta distribution for continuous bounded responses:
