The data doctor continues his exploration of Python-based machine learning techniques, explaining binary classification using logistic regression, which he likes for its simplicity.

Many machine learning code libraries have built-in multi-class logistic regression functionality. However, coding multi-class logistic regression from scratch has least four advantages over using a ...

Regression can be used on categorical responses to estimate probabilities and to classify.

The paper discusses some diagnostic tools for binary logistic regression which use smoothing techniques. Smoothed binary data are employed to devise a battery of diagnostic plots, from simple ...

We consider the case-control problem with stratified samples and assume a logistic model that does not include terms for strata, i.e., for fixed covariates the (prospective) probability of disease ...

What are the advantages of logistic regression over decision trees? This question was originally answered on Quora by Claudia Perlich.
