Machine Learning With R: Logistic Regression

Our little journey to machine learning with R continues! Today's topic is logistic regression – as an introduction to machine learning classification tasks. We'll cover data preparation, modeling, and evaluation of the well-known Titanic dataset. That's it for the introduction section – we have many things to cover, so let's jump right to it. Logistic regression is a great introductory algorithm for binary classification (two class values) borrowed from the field of statistics.
