Create a computer vision system using decision tree algorithms to solve a real-world problem : Logistic Regression

The video tutorial explains logistic regression as a method for binary classification, similar to linear regression but with predictions transformed into probabilities using the sigmoid function. It highlights the use of logistic regression in neural networks and discusses the necessity of gradient descent and maximum likelihood for model optimization. The tutorial concludes with a practical application of logistic regression on real data.

What is the primary purpose of logistic regression?

• To predict continuous values

• To solve binary classification problems

• To perform clustering analysis

How does logistic regression transform its predictions?

• By using a linear function

• By applying a sigmoid function

• By normalizing the data

• By using a polynomial function

What is the role of the sigmoid function in logistic regression?

• To increase the speed of computation

• To transform predictions into probabilities

• To reduce the dimensionality of data

• To calculate the mean of predictions

Which method is used in logistic regression to optimize the model?
