Logistic Regression: Classification

Logistic regression is a classification algorithm used to predict binary or multi-class outcomes. It models the probability of the output belonging to each class using a logistic function. The logistic regression hypothesis represents the decision boundary, and the cost function is optimized during training to fit the parameters. Gradient descent is used to minimize the cost function by updating the parameters after each pass through the training set. For multi-class classification, a one-vs-all approach trains a separate logistic regression model for each class.
