Logistic Model Training Task

A Logistic Model Training Task is a supervised model-based classification task whose classification function family is a logistic function.

• Context:
  • Input: a Logistic Regression Model.
  • output: a Fitted Logistic Function.
  • It can be solved by a Logistic Regression System (that implements an LR algorithm).* Counter-Example(s)
  • It can (typically) assumes that the Log-Odds of an observation y can be expressed as a linear function of the input variables.
• Example(s)
  • use logistic regression to solve the Iris Dataset Classification Task.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s)
  • a Classification Tree Training Task.
  • an SVM Training Task.
  • a Neural Network Training Task.
• See: Linear Regression Task.
