Logistic Regression Explained

<p>Linear regression models the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables&nbsp;<strong><em>by fitting a linear equation</em></strong>&nbsp;to observed data. The goal is to minimize&nbsp;<strong><em>the sum of squared errors</em></strong>&nbsp;&mdash; the squared differences between observed values and the values predicted by the model. The R-squared value represents the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that&rsquo;s explained by the independent variables. A higher R-squared generally suggests a better fit, but it&rsquo;s essential to check the residuals to ensure the model adequately captures underlying data patterns. Once the model is established, it can be used to predict&nbsp;<strong><em>continuous outcomes</em></strong>&nbsp;based on new input values for the independent variables.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@msong507/logistic-regression-explained-2d1b8babe6c1"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
