Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of logistic regression as explained by Dr. Anand Jayaraman?

  • To calculate the weightage of variables in a dataset.
  • To determine the number of parameters for a perceptron model.
  • To predict whether someone is likely to return a loan or not. (correct)
  • To identify chemical levels in neurons accurately.

In logistic regression, how many parameters need to be determined when there are 4 variables?

  • 6
  • 4
  • 3
  • 5 (correct)

What does the 'B value' represent in logistic regression according to the discussion?

  • Number of parameters needed for a perceptron.
  • Weightage of variables in the dataset.
  • Intercept in the logistic regression model. (correct)
  • Base level of chemicals in a neuron.
