Logistic Regression-1 - Beyond Whyy

The second type of Supervised learning algorithm we will look into is called the Logistic Regression. First things first, it is not a regression algorithm as its name suggests, rather it's used classification purposes. But the name comes from the fact that classification is done by considering the linear regression model. As mentioned earlier, Classification methods are used in problems where we want to label or categorize inputs. In this section we will be dealing with binary classification problems (those with 2 possible outcomes).
