Logistic Regression
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
Scikit-learn
A library in Python used for machine learning tasks, including logistic regression.
Confusion Matrix
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
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)
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.
