Logistic regression is a type of regression analysis that helps in estimating the likelihood of an event to occur based on some given parameters. It is used as a classification technique with a binary outcome. The probabilities describing the possible outcomes of a single trial are modeled, as a function of the explanatory (predictor) variables, using a logistic function.
