In machine learning applications where logistic regression is used for binary classification, the MLE minimises the cross-entropy loss function. Logistic regression is an important machine learning algorithm. The goal is to model the probability of a random variable being 0 or 1 given experimental data.
In computational learning theory, probably approximately correct ( PAC) learning is a framework for mathematical analysis of machine learning. It was proposed in 1984 by Leslie Valiant. [1] In this framework, the learner receives samples and must select a generalization function (called the hypothesis) from a certain class of possible functions.
In statistics, multinomial logistic regression is a classification method that generalizes logistic regression to multiclass problems, i.e. with more than two possible discrete outcomes. [1] That is, it is a model that is used to predict the probabilities of the different possible outcomes of a categorically distributed dependent variable ...
In computer science, a logistic model tree (LMT) is a classification model with an associated supervised training algorithm that combines logistic regression (LR) and decision tree learning. Logistic model trees are based on the earlier idea of a model tree: a decision tree that has linear regression models at its leaves to provide a piecewise ...
Conditional logistic regression uses a conditional likelihood approach that deals with the above pathological behavior by conditioning on the number of cases in each stratum. This eliminates the need to estimate the strata parameters. When the strata are pairs, where the first observation is a case and the second is a control, this can be seen ...
t. e. Decision tree learning is a supervised learning approach used in statistics, data mining and machine learning. In this formalism, a classification or regression decision tree is used as a predictive model to draw conclusions about a set of observations. Tree models where the target variable can take a discrete set of values are called ...
Statistical learning theory is a framework for machine learning drawing from the fields of statistics and functional analysis. [1] [2] [3] Statistical learning theory deals with the statistical inference problem of finding a predictive function based on data. Statistical learning theory has led to successful applications in fields such as ...
Inductive bias is anything which makes the algorithm learn one pattern instead of another pattern (e.g. step-functions in decision trees instead of continuous function in a linear regression model ). Learning is the process of apprehending useful knowledge by observing and interacting with the world. [2]
