The data doctor continues his exploration of Python-based machine learning techniques, explaining binary classification using logistic regression, which he likes for its simplicity. The goal of a ...

In recent columns we showed how linear regression can be used to predict a continuous dependent variable given other independent variables 1,2. When the dependent variable is categorical, a common ...

1912 (Dawson 1995). Logistic regression can be used to model these data through the use of indicator variables or effect codings. So, for example, the Age and Gender effects can be fit using 0/1 ...

We trained models using logistic regression (LR) and four commonly used ML algorithms to predict NCGC from age-/sex-matched controls in two EHR systems: Stanford University and the University of ...

The fundamental technique has been studied for decades, thus creating a huge amount of information and alternate variations that make it hard to tell what is key vs. non-essential information.
