Learning Machine Learning: Logistic Regression

This is part 2 of learning machine learning introductory concepts. Recall that supervised learning had two basic examples, regression and classification . We covered linear regression in part 1 , and now in part 2 we look at classification. Although the name of the technique used here, logistic regression , includes the word "regression", this is in fact a classification algorithm. It builds on a similar gradient descent approach as we discussed in part 1 in the context of linear regression. (In
