Logistic regression is a statistical method that uses math to find relationships between two data factors. It uses these relationships to predict the value of one factor based on the other.
Logistic regression is a predictive analysis that estimates the probability of an event based on a given dataset. The dataset contains both independent variables, or predictors, and their corresponding dependent variables, or responses. For example, logistic regression can be used to model the occurrence or non-occurrence of a disease given predictors such as age, race, and weight. The result is a model that returns a predicted probability of occurrence given certain values of the predictors.
Logistic regression has been used in many fields, including: Finding the most influential individuals in a network GIS Email spam filtering Natural language processing Speech recognition Finance Pattern recognition In healthcare, logistic regression uses common variables such as sick/not sick, cancerous/non-cancerous, and malignant/benign.
