Logistic Regression

Logistic Regression is a supervised machine learning algorithm used for Classification (Separates the data from one to another) problems. It is one of the most popular ways to fit models for categorical data, especially for binary response data (1 / 0, Yes / No, True / False) in Data Modelling. Logistic Regression (LR) is the most important (and probably most used) member of a class of models called generalized linear models (glm).

Example:

  1. Spam Detection: Predicting if an email is Spam or not
  2. Credit Card Fraud: Predicting if a given credit card transaction is fraud or not
  3. Cancer Cell: Predicting if a given mass of tissue is benign or malignant
  4. Banking: Predicting if a customer will default on a loan
  5. Marketing: Predicting if a given user will buy an insurance product or not
