Logistic regression

A method often used to estimate how likely something is to belong to a particular group.

Example

A system estimates an email's chance of being spam.

Why people use it

It provides a relatively simple way to estimate how likely a category is.

What you'll hear

“How likely is this message to be spam?”

What this means for you

Check what score causes a message to be blocked and how often that choice is wrong.

Can you control it?

Developer-only

The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.

Common questions

Why is regression in the name?
The method estimates a numerical chance, which can then be used to choose a group.
Does a score of 80% guarantee the outcome?
No. It describes an estimate, not a promise about that individual case.
Can it work with more than two categories?
Related versions can handle several categories, although the familiar basic form handles two.
