logistic regression
This term refers to a specific mathematical model used in statistics and machine learning. It is distinct from linear regression because it predicts a categorical outcome—typically a binary yes/no or true/false result—rather than a continuous numerical value.
In professional and academic contexts, it is used across diverse fields such as epidemiology, finance, and sociology to identify the strength of relationships between a dependent binary variable and one or more predictor variables. It is almost exclusively used as a technical term in formal research and data analysis.
Ý nghĩa
