Intelex Logistic Regression Classifier

The logistic regression classifier is a linear model for classification, implemented using the scikit-learn library. It estimates the probability of an instance belonging to a specific class by fitting a logistic function to the input data. The model supports various regularization techniques, solvers, and multi-class strategies.

Advantages:

• Logistic regression provides probabilities of each class label, which helps the user judge the confidence of predictions
• It is simple to understand and explain, which supports interpretability.
• It handles binary and multiclass classification problems, enhancing its applicability.

Disadvantages:

• Logistic regression assumes linearity of independent variables and log odds, limiting its use in complex nonlinear relationships.
• It might be prone to overfitting, particularly in scenarios with many input features.
• It's not ideal for large number of features or variables, due to the risk of multicollinearity.
