    • The logistic loss function can be generated using (2) and Table-I as follows : \begin{align} \phi(v) &= C[f^{-1}(v)]+\left(1-f^{-1}(v)\right)\, C'\left[f^{-1}(v)\right] \\ &= \frac{1}{\log(2)}\left [\frac{-e^v}{1+e^v}\log\frac{e^v}{1+e^v}-\left(1-\frac{e^v}{1+e^v}\right)\log\left(1-\frac{e^v}{1+e^v}\right)\right ]+\left(1-\frac{e^v}{1+e^v}\right) \left [\frac{-1}{\log(2)}\log\left(\frac{\frac{e^v}{1+e^v}}{1-\frac{e^v}{1+e^v}}\right)\right] \\ &=\frac{1}{\log(2)}\log(1+e^{-v}). \end{align} The logistic loss is convex and grows linearly for negative values which make it less sensitive to outliers. The logistic loss is used in the LogitBoost algorithm.

      The minimizer of I[f] for the logistic loss function can be directly found from equation (1) as : f^*_\text{Logistic}= \log\left(\frac{\eta}{1-\eta}\right)=\log\left(\frac{p(1\mid x)}{1-p(1\mid x)}\right). This function is undefined when p(1\mid x)=1 or p(1\mid x)=0 (tending toward ∞ and −∞ respectively), but predicts a smooth curve which grows when p(1\mid x) increases and equals 0 when p(1\mid x)= 0.5 .

      It's easy to check that the logistic loss and binary cross entropy loss (Log loss) are in fact the same (up to a multiplicative constant \frac{1}{\log(2)} ). The cross entropy loss is closely related to the Kullback–Leibler divergence between the empirical distribution and the predicted distribution. The cross entropy loss is ubiquitous in modern deep neural networks.
