This is a really nice introduction to logistic regression, well done! My one quibble with the OP is the jump into Newton's method. Maybe a derivation to explain the five steps would help. Thanks!
Thank you. I err'ed on the side of caution to (try) to reduce information overload, but I also didn't want to assume too much prior knowledge. Delicate balance...
Maybe a linked post that dives deeper into the 5 steps of Newton's Method? Would that be more approachable?
Yeah, that would work. Honestly, when I studied logistic regression, we used gradient descent, so seeing it with Newton's method was the draw for me. I can go find the resources myself of course, but since I was reading the article I thought it would be convenient there :)
