Logistic Regression#

Logistic regression is a widely used discriminative classification model \(\mathbb{P}(y \mid \boldsymbol{x} ; \boldsymbol{\theta})\), where \(\boldsymbol{x} \in \mathbb{R}^D\) is a fixed-dimensional input vector, \(y \in\{1, \ldots, K\}\) is the class label, and \(\boldsymbol{\theta}\) are the parameters. If \(K=2\), this is known as binary logistic regression, and if \(K>2\), it is known as multinomial logistic regression, or alternatively, multiclass logistic regression [Murphy, 2019].
