Logistic Regression (page 1 of 6)

Contrary to its name, logistic regression is a classification technique that gives the probabilistic output (log of the odds ratio) of known categorical targets. Therefore, this algorithm is a supervised classification machine learning algorithm. We can use the logistic regression classifier for binary targets (0 or 1 or Yes or No) and multiple catagory targets (multi-classification problem such as low, medium or high risk groups). In this module, we will focus on binary classification problems with known binary targets.
