Wensui,

If you have p=0 or p=1 in a bin, then you need to construct fewer (and wider) bins such that you can compute the log-odds in every bin. Alternatively, as presented in my previous post, add terms such as polynomials or splines which account for nonlinearity. If those terms are significant, then there is evidence of nonlinearity.
