The Anatomy of Logistic Regression

Basic model, invaluable insights

In today’s post, we’ll talk about logistic regression.

Yes, I know. You are probably tired of hearing about it: it’s basic, boring, and not that effective in practice.

Don’t click away just yet! By dissecting how the logistic regression is constructed, we gain invaluable insight into how machine learning models are designed. Even the state-of-the-art ones.

So, why do I like the logistic regression so much?

Because it explains how we can turn geometry into probability. Let’s see!
