Linear Regression Vs Logistic Regression

Linear Regression is a supervised regression algorithm that models a target prediction value based on independent variables. It predicts values as integers by finding relationships between variables without an activation function or threshold. Logistic Regression is a supervised classification algorithm where the target variable can only take discrete values. It predicts values as 1 or 0 by converting the linear regression equation to logistic using an activation function and threshold. Logistic regression estimates odds of the dependent variable taking certain categories, assuming a binomial distribution.

Linear Regression is a machine learning algorithm based on supervised

regression algorithm. Regression models a target prediction value based


on independent variables. It is mostly used for finding out the relationship
between variables and forecasting. Different regression models differ based
on – the kind of relationship between the dependent and independent
variables, they are considering and the number of independent variables
being used.
Logistic regression is basically a supervised classification algorithm. In
a classification problem, the target variable(or output), y, can take only
discrete values for a given set of features(or inputs), X.
