Overview

Please see Chapter 3 for more details on logistic regression.

Implementing logistic regression in Python

The following implementation is similar to the Adaline implementation in Chapter 2 except that we replace the sum of squared errors cost function with the logistic cost function

$$J(\mathbf{w}) = \sum_{i=1}^{m} - y^{(i)} log \bigg( \phi\big(z^{(i)}\big) \bigg) - \big(1 - y^{(i)}\big) log\bigg(1-\phi\big(z^{(i)}\big)\bigg).$$
