Understanding Logistic Regression for Machine Learning Classification (Part 14 of 17) | Machine Learning for Beginners

with Bea Stollnitz

Machine Learning for Beginners

Welcome to another insightful video presented by Bea Stollnitz, a Principal Cloud Advocate at Microsoft. In this video, we'll dive into the world of logistic regression, learn how it compares to linear regression, and explore its applications in classification tasks, including how it can make better predictions against our pumpkin data set 🎃.

What you'll learn:

  • The difference between linear and logistic regression
  • Binary logistic regression and the use of the sigmoid function
  • Multinomial and ordinal logistic regression

Join Bea as she unravels the fascinating world of logistic regression, and learn how it can be utilized in classification problems. This video is perfect for those who want to expand their understanding of regression techniques and enhance their machine learning skill set.

Stay tuned for the next video in this series, where you'll be writing code to apply the theory you've learned. See you there!
