In recent columns we showed how linear regression can be used to predict a continuous dependent variable given other independent variables 1,2. When the dependent variable is categorical, a common ...

This article presents a complete demo program for logistic regression, using batch stochastic gradient descent training with weight decay. Compared to other binary classification techniques, logistic ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research demonstrates applying the L-BFGS optimization algorithm to the ML logistic regression technique for binary classification -- predicting one of two possible ...
