Learning Linear Discriminant Analysis: A Beginner’s Guide to Classification

When initiating any predictive modeling project, the crucial first step involves analyzing the structure of the response variable. If the goal is to predict an outcome that falls into one of only two possible classes—a typical binary outcome scenario—the widely accepted and standard statistical approach is Logistic Regression. This technique is computationally straightforward and highly […]

The Evolution of Classification: From Logistic Regression to LDA In the vast landscape of statistical modeling and machine learning, the fundamental task of classification—assigning observations to predetermined categories—remains essential. When initially faced with a binary problem, where the response variable has only two possible classes, the standard starting point is often logistic regression. This technique
