Logistic Regression Story

Logistic regression is one of the most commonly used algorithms for machine learning and is a building block for neural networks. It is really important to understand the concepts and the derivations of logistic regression. In this post we will explore the fundamentals of logistic regression and also concepts like maximum likelihood function, cross-entropy is …

Simple Linear Regression: An Introduction to Regression from scratch

Regression is a very fundamental concept in statistics, machine learning and in Neural Network. Imagine plotting the correlation between rainfall frequency and agriculture production in high school. Increase in rainfall generally increases agriculture production. Fitting a line to those points enables us to predict the production rate under different rain conditions. It was actually a …
