In case somebody's wondering, inverse of logit is found the following way: 1. logit => ln(p/(1-p)) = y 2. inverse => e^y = p/(1-p) 3. p/(1-p) = e^y 4. p = e^y(1-p) 5. p = e^y - e^y(p) 6. p + e^y(p) = e^y 7. p(1+e^y) = e^y 8. p = e^y/(1+e^y)

Hi Kaysar777. You did not find the inverse as far as I can tell. What you did was raise both sides with e. That is a legitimate algebraic operation and does not give an inverse. For example, if y= x , then sqrt(y) = sqrt(x) -taking the square root of both sides is a legitimate algebraic operation. But doing that does not give the inverse. Legitimate algebraic operations DON'T change the function (the solution set is the same). However, obtaining an inverse gives an entirely new function (completely different set of solutions). Obtaining the inverse can be found by switching x and y. That is not what you did, is it?

Just to add how logit inverse can be derived. It is the swapping of graph between x and y. You have to isolate the x(p in this case) and express x in terms of y. So, if logit is y and y = ln(p/1-p), e^y = p/1-p e^y-e^y(p) = p re arranging the terms, it comes out p = e^y/1+e^y, So, now your p (or x) has taken the role of y, and y has taken the role of x and you can swap variables y = e^x/1+e^x

Even finding an explanation for logistic regression via google does not produce good results. My only negative here is that the video refers to "Video 4", but the video titles do not seem to contain any "numbers" other than "101".

For my fellow friends wondering why the logit function can be linked to a linear combination of independent variables, this link gives a relative good short explanation: Why is the logistic classification model specified in this manner? Why is the logistic function used to transform the linear combination of inputs x? The simple answer is that we would like to do something similar to what we do in a linear regression model: use a linear combination of the inputs as our prediction of the output. However, our prediction needs to be a probability and there is no guarantee that the linear combination x is between 0 and 1. Thus, we use the logistic function because it provides a convenient way of transforming x and forcing it to lie in the interval between 0 and 1. We could have used other functions that enjoy properties similar to the logistic function. As a matter of fact, other popular classification models can be obtained by simply substituting the logistic function with another function and leaving everything else in the model unchanged. For example, by substituting the logit function with the cumulative distribution function of a standard normal distribution, we obtain the so-called probit model. www.statlect.com/fundamentals-of-statistics/logistic-classification-model

Very clear explainations. I have a few suggestions to make though: - Sometimes while explaining some examples or points verbally which are a bit abstract like probability plot like in the previous logistic regression video, a simultanous visualization could help make it much clearer and easier for audience to visualize such points and effortless to follow you. - Would be great if your videos were complemented with implementations in R.(a bit biased suggestion since i am learning to implement these machine learning algorithms in R haha). But i believe you could explain things really well so a complementary video/series of videos or video embedded in same video would benefit us all.

Perfect video to link bernoulli distribution of Y, its estimate mean \hat{p_i} = E(Y_i) and the linear combination of betas. I have been wondering how the link function came out in terms of GLM. But thanks to this video, I understood that logistic regression is nothing but to model \hat{p_i} as a logistic function and logit is used to link this probability model to a linear combination! Thank you very much! But it would also have been amazing if you could add something about MLE in the vidoe, not in detail, but how the assumption that Y follows Bernoulli distribution is linked with MLE to estiamte the coefficients in another video.

I am glad to find your channel, Brandon. I watched all videos in this series. I have one question. When doing the modeling, are we using the logit function or the logit inverse function. My understanding is that we are using the logit inverse function since the y axis represents the 0-1 range. But from later videos when we put the coefficients into the function, we are using logit function. So, I am confused. Thanks!

I didn't understand how the origins of the sigmoid function link with the nature of the problem. I did understand that for logistic regression we want a parametized S shaped function and we want to find its parameters that minimize the sse against the datapoints. Sigmoid is one such function, but there are others as well

Hello, thank you for the nice explanations of Logistic Regression. Very useful and easy to follow. Just one question: after having fitted a Logistic Regression model (say, binary), if one wishes to calculate the probability for the positive outcome on the basis of the LR results, one has to fed into the LR equation just the predictors that turned out to be significant or all the original predictors even tough they proved not significant? I ask you because, while I would lean toward the first solution, I see that in software like XLSTAT the returned logistic regression equation also comprises the not significant predictors. I am rather confused on that.
