Logistic regression with R

Logistic regression with R: Logistic regression is a type of statistical model used to analyze the relationship between a binary outcome variable (such as yes/no or true/false) and one or more predictor variables. It estimates the probability of the binary outcome based on the values of the predictor variables. The model outputs a logistic function, transforming the input values into a probability range between 0 and 1. Logistic regression is commonly used in fields such as medicine, social sciences, and business to predict the likelihood of a certain outcome based on given input variables. To perform logistic regression in the R programming language, you can follow the following steps:

Step 1: Load the required packages

library(tidyverse)
library(caret)

Step 2: Load the data

data <- read.csv("path/to/your/data.csv")

Step 3: Split the data into training and testing sets

set.seed(123)
training_index <- createDataPartition(data$target_variable, p = 0.8, list = FALSE)
training_data <- data[training_index, ]
testing_data <- data[-training_index, ]

Step 4: Build the logistic regression model

log_model <- train(target_variable ~ ., 
                   data = training_data, 
                   method = "glm", 
                   family = "binomial")

Step 5: Predict using the model

predictions <- predict(log_model, newdata = testing_data)

Step 6: Evaluate the model’s performance

confusionMatrix(predictions, testing_data$target_variable)

This is a basic logistic regression model building and evaluation process. You can modify the code according to your specific use case.
