List of Questions5 questions
- Question 1
- Logistic regression is a supervised machine learning algorithm mainly used for classification tasks where the goal is to predict the probability that an instance belongs to a given class.
- Question 2
- Logistic regression is referred to as regression because it takes the output of the linear regression function as input and uses a sigmoid function to estimate the probability for the given class.
- Question 3
- The difference between linear regression and logistic regression is that linear regression output is a continuous value that can be anything, while logistic regression predicts the probability that an instance belongs to a given class or not.
- Question 4
- The purpose of logistic regression is to predict the categorical dependent variable using a given set of independent variables.
- Question 5
- Logistic regression predicts the output of a categorical dependent variable. Therefore, the outcome must be a categorical or discrete value.
