Abstract
Logistic regression is a supervised machine learning algorithm developed for learning classification problems. A classification learning problem is when the target variable is categorical. The goal of logistic regression is to map a function from the features of the dataset to the targets to predict the probability that a new example belongs to one of the target classes. Figure 20-1 is an example of a dataset with categorical targets.
