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

In recent columns we showed how linear regression can be used to predict a continuous dependent variable given other independent variables 1,2. When the dependent variable is categorical, a common ...

Modern statistical modelling is increasingly focused on reducing bias and enhancing the accuracy of parameter estimates. Traditional maximum likelihood estimation, while powerful, can encounter ...

Logistic regression is a powerful statistical method that is used to model the probability that a set of explanatory (independent or predictor) variables predict data in an outcome (dependent or ...
