In, Logistic Regression, or Logit Regression, or Logit Model Is Aregression Model Where The Is

Logistic regression is a regression model used when the dependent variable is categorical. It estimates the probability of a binary response based on independent variables. Logistic regression measures the relationship between a categorical dependent variable and independent variables by estimating probabilities using a logistic function, which is similar to probit regression but uses a different distribution curve. The key differences between logistic and linear regression are that logistic regression models the dependent variable as having a Bernoulli distribution rather than Gaussian, and its predicted values are probabilities restricted to 0 and 1.

Instatistics,logistic regression, orlogit regression,

orlogit model[1]is aregressionmodel where the


dependent variable (DV)iscategorical.

The binary logistic model is used to estimate the probability of a


binary response based on one or more predictor (or independent)
variables (features). As such it is not a classification method. It
could be called aqualitative response/discrete choice modelin the
terminology ofeconomics.
Logistic regression measures the relationship between
the categorical dependent variable and one or more
independent variables by estimating probabilities using
alogistic function, which is the cumulative logistic
distribution. Thus, it treats the same set of problems as
probit regressionusing similar techniques, with the latter
using a cumulative normal distribution curve instead.
Equivalently, in the latent variable interpretations of
these two methods, the first assumes a standard Logistic regression can be seen as a special case of
generalized linear model and thus analogous to linear
logistic distributionof errors and the second a standard
regression. The model of logistic regression, however, is
normal distributionof errors.

based on quite different assumptions (about the relationship


between dependent and independent variables) from those of
linear regression. In particular the key differences of these
two models can be seen in the following two features of
logistic regression. First, the conditional distribution y \mid x
is a Bernoulli distribution rather than a Gaussian distribution,
because the dependent variable is binary. Second, the
predicted values are probabilities and are therefore restricted
to (0,1) through the logistic distribution function because
