Logistic Regression is a supervised learning algorithm used for binary classification problems. Despite its name, it's a classification algorithm, not a regression algorithm!

โœจ Key Features

  • โœ… Outputs probabilities between 0 and 1
  • โœ… Uses the sigmoid activation function
  • โœ… Optimized using gradient descent
  • โœ… Simple yet powerful for many real-world problems
