In this section, we'll learn what binary logistic regression is and we'll understand the use cases that can be tackled with this ML algorithm.
Logistic regression is a classification ML technique that can be used to predict a categorical variable. We can apply binary logistic regression when the variable to predict is binary and can assume only two values, such as true or false, yes or no, or 1 or 0.
In order to predict one of the two labels, this ML algorithm calculates the probability of two different outcomes and allows us to choose a probability threshold to get the final classification of the binary variable.
Since this is an algorithm based on a regression technique, the prediction of the label is based on a set of independent variables called features that are used to predict the dependent variable, called a label.
This ML technique can be used to answer relevant business questions across different industries, such...
