The data doctor continues his exploration of Python-based machine learning techniques, explaining binary classification using logistic regression, which he likes for its simplicity. The goal of a ...

Logistic regression is a powerful statistical method that is used to model the probability that a set of explanatory (independent or predictor) variables predict data in an outcome (dependent or ...

Logistic regression is often used instead of Cox regression to analyse genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and disease outcomes with cohort and case-cohort ...

This course offers an introduction to mathematical nonlinear optimization with applications in data science. The theoretical foundation and the fundamental algorithms for nonlinear optimization are ...

eSpeaks’ Corey Noles talks with Rob Israch, President of Tipalti, about what it means to lead with Global-First Finance and how companies can build scalable, compliant operations in an increasingly ...

The fundamental technique has been studied for decades, thus creating a huge amount of information and alternate variations that make it hard to tell what is key vs. non-essential information.

In recent columns we showed how linear regression can be used to predict a continuous dependent variable given other independent variables 1,2. When the dependent variable is categorical, a common ...
