Chapter 7. Estimating the Likelihood of Events
Logistic regression is a type of regression analysis that helps in estimating the likelihood of an event to occur based on some given parameters. It is used as a classification technique with a binary outcome. The probabilities describing the possible outcomes of a single trial are modeled, as a function of the explanatory (predictor) variables, using a logistic function.
You have been already introduced to Logisitc regression in Chapter 5, Uncovering Machine Learning. In this chapter, you'll learn to:
- Build a logistic regression model with statsmodels
- Build a logistic regression model with SciKit
- Evaluate and test the model
Logistic regression
We'll use the Titanic dataset, which was utilized in Chapter ...
