Logistic regression is a linear model for classification. It passes a weighted sum of the features through the sigmoid function to predict the probability of the positive class, and it is trained by minimising log loss (cross-entropy). Interviews test the maths behind it, how to read its coefficients, regularisation, and how to evaluate a classifier.

Logistic Regression topics covered

  • The sigmoid function and log-odds
  • Log loss and maximum likelihood estimation
  • Training with gradient descent
  • Reading coefficients as odds ratios
  • L1 and L2 regularisation
  • Decision thresholds, precision, recall and ROC AUC
  • Multiclass: one-vs-rest and softmax
  • LogisticRegression in scikit-learn
