  2. Logistic distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the logistic distribution is a continuous probability distribution. Its cumulative distribution function is the logistic function, which appears in logistic regression and feedforward neural networks. It resembles the normal distribution in shape but has heavier tails (higher kurtosis).

  3. Logistic regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression

    Logistic regression is a supervised machine learning algorithm widely used for binary classification tasks, such as identifying whether an email is spam or not and diagnosing diseases by assessing the presence or absence of specific conditions based on patient test results. This approach utilizes the logistic (or sigmoid) function to transform ...

  4. Multinomial logistic regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Multinomial_logistic_regression

    Multinomial logistic regression is known by a variety of other names, including polytomous LR, [2] [3] multiclass LR, softmax regression, multinomial logit (mlogit), the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) classifier, and the conditional maximum entropy model.

  5. Logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

    The standard logistic function is the logistic function with parameters =, =, =, which yields = + = + = / / + /.In practice, due to the nature of the exponential function, it is often sufficient to compute the standard logistic function for over a small range of real numbers, such as a range contained in [−6, +6], as it quickly converges very close to its saturation values of 0 and 1.

  6. Discriminative model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discriminative_model

    Types of discriminative models include logistic regression (LR), conditional random fields (CRFs), decision trees among many others. Generative model approaches which uses a joint probability distribution instead, include naive Bayes classifiers, Gaussian mixture models, variational autoencoders, generative adversarial networks and others.

  7. Generalized linear model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_linear_model

    In linear regression, the use of the least-squares estimator is justified by the Gauss–Markov theorem, which does not assume that the distribution is normal. From the perspective of generalized linear models, however, it is useful to suppose that the distribution function is the normal distribution with constant variance and the link function ...

  8. Logit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logit

    The logit in logistic regression is a special case of a link function in a generalized linear model: it is the canonical link function for the Bernoulli distribution. More abstractly, the logit is the natural parameter for the binomial distribution; see Exponential family § Binomial distribution.

  9. Conditional logistic regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Conditional_logistic_regression

    Conditional logistic regression is an extension of logistic regression that allows one to account for stratification and matching. Its main field of application is observational studies and in particular epidemiology. It was devised in 1978 by Norman Breslow, Nicholas Day, Katherine Halvorsen, Ross L. Prentice and C. Sabai. [1]
