Logistic Regression in Python

The logistic regression algorithm is a probabilistic machine learning algorithm used for classification tasks. This is usually the first classification algorithm you'll try a classification task on. Unlike many machine learning algorithms that seem to be a black box, the logisitc regression algorithm is easily understood. In this tutorial, you'll learn everything you need to know about the logistic regression algorithm. You'll start by creating a custom logistic regresssion algorithm. This will help you understand everything happening under the hood and how to debug problems with your logisitic regression models. Next, you'll learn how to train and optimize Scikit-Learn implementation of the logistic regression algorithm. Finally, you'll learn how to handle multiclass classification tasks with this algorithm. This tutorial covers L1 and L2 regularization, hyperparameter tuning using grid search, automating machine learning workflow with pipeline, one vs rest classifier, object-oriented programming, modular programming, and documenting Python modules with docstring.
