Machine Learning #5 -- Linear Classifiers, Logistic Regression, Regularization

In the third of our article series, we touched on the topic of Linear Regression. We then used this method to create a house price estimator. The concepts of Linear Regression and Logistic Regression should not be confused with each other. Logistic Regression is a Linear Classifier. A statistical method used to analyze a dataset with one or more independent variables that determine a class. The outcome is measured with a binary variable (there are only two possible outcomes).
