Logistic Regression

A statistical method used to predict the probability of a binary outcome (e.g., win or lose) based on one or more independent variables.

Scikit-learn

A library in Python used for machine learning tasks, including logistic regression.

Confusion Matrix

A method of evaluating the accuracy of a classification model by comparing the predicted outcomes (fitted values) to the actual outcomes (true values).

Fitted Probability

A variable used to represent the likelihood of a certain outcome, often expressed as a number between 0 and 1. This is often used in logistic regression to quantify the probability of a binary outcome.

Generalized Linear Model (GLM)

A statistical model used to predict the probability of a binary outcome (e.g., win or lose) by assuming a linear relationship between the independent variables and the logit of the probability of the outcome.

Model Fitting

The process of using a statistical model (like logistic regression) to estimate the values of unknown parameters using a set of observations.

Binary Dependent Variable

A variable that represents the true outcome of an event, often a binary value (0 or 1) indicating whether an event occurred or not.

Coefficient

A statistical measure that indicates the strength of the relationship between a predictor variable and a dependent variable, often used in regression models.

Success Rate

The success rate of a model, calculated as the percentage of correctly predicted outcomes. In binary classification, this is the overall percentage of wins and losses predicted correctly.
