Course Overview
In this course, you will examine classification questions then use summarization and visualization to obtain preliminary answers to those questions. While summarizing and visualizing data can be extremely helpful for classification problems, logistic regression is a more rigorous way to answer those questions, so you will practice performing and interpreting logistic regression. You will also use logistic regression to evaluate which variables improve your model, make predictions, and evaluate those predictions.
