Statistics 101: Logistic Regression, An Introduction

[@AF-sh1fg]

This material was so useful for me. My professor talks a different language, I understand nothing in class. Thank you Brandon for taking the time to make this material available on youtube.

[@gerarddeboer8599]

Yeah same. My stats professors explain all these methods sooo weird that barely anyone knows what the lecture was about after class... we are basically obliged to watch series like these to actually understand how and when to use a particular method and how to do the calculations.

[@yasirlateef8641]

I'm not a stats person, rather a computer guy getting into Artificial Intelligence. One thing I must say is 'You're Awesome, man!'. You just knocked every necessary details about understanding Logistic Regression! Really great stuff!

[@SiaarZH]

Yasir Lateef Same here. AI. But I did sign up for Statistics for Data Science which was recommended for ML and DL.

[@Abusteif1]

This exactly describes my current situation :D

[@arpanghimire8102]

haha..same here

[@whoisbhauji]

Why this video seems to work for AI/DL stuff is because he goes backwards. To learn/train, we need to start from the output and get at the model. Other videos go forward from data to output. I predict this is 70% accurate :)

Latest video is live. Enjoy! Statistics 101: Logistic Regression, An Introduction.

[@alvarosjrodriguez]

Great explanations! I wonder if you are preparing any video about COX model. Thank you

[@franciskm4144]

I am from India. I have been teachig economics for 40 years. Your presentations are highly useful even for me .Thank you.

[@ActSciBlink]

Your videos are great! As a blind student they're really easy to follow without being able to read the screen. I appreciate how thorough and descriptive you are. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping me to regain confidence with math and statistics!

[@fisayoadeniyan8713]

Brandon, you are the best teacher. No exaggeration. You make the lesson so simple to understand. Thanks so much for your amazing contribution to understanding of various statistical techniques.

[@renee_chu]

Thanks! This helped so much! My lecturer doesn't know what she's talking about and 99% of us are confused! Saved my life!

[@renee_chu]

Shared this with my peers too!

[@m.ssharma535]

Brilliant. Stats Professor at Michigan (Ross School) explained it very well too when I took the course and modeled in SPSS

[@dhammikax]

Great simplistic explanations Brandon. Just the type of teaching needed in today's short attention-span adult learning environments. Cheers.

[@JK-fp1pn]

You are the best person for STATS! I am loving Statistics because of your clear straightforward explanations and examples! The BEST!

[@sureshm430]

THANKS is not enough.. i should say more than that, I started my day with logistic regression, planned to complete in 2 to 3 hours.. i had gone through lot of stuff which lead to confusion between logit and sigmoid function..... felt bad and sad, that i couldn't make it, then your stuff came, it is SAVIOUR.. You explained very clearly, detailed every thing in simpler manner. I ended my day with SMILE with your stuff.. APPRECIATE.. APPRECIATE.. APPRECIATE... Expecting stuff on Machine Learning Algorithms too.

[@coJetty]

This is so thoroughly thought through. I am very impressed and thankful!

[@indianarchangel]

thoroughly thought through! try saying that a 100 times :D But seriously, the tutorial is so good.

[@vishnupriya1985]

Your video series on Linear,multiple ,logistic regressions is really great Brandon!Helps me a lot in learning Big data analytics.Highly appreciate if you could make a video on cluster analysis.

[@TheKriptus]

Brandon! Thank you so much for your lessons, you have no idea how helpful they are and they way you explain everything is just so natural to understand and really internalize. I'll end with the simple saying: Not all heroes ware capes, thank you!

[@nityananddeva7724]

I am Preparing a research proposal for the purpose of seeking admission into Phd in management. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.

[@SHIVTOSH1]

I was trying to learn logistic Regression but was not able to find good study material. Your's way of explanation was awesome and you made logistic regression look like a easy one....Thanks

[@ravindrababualuru6076]

Anyone can learn easily Statistics from your Videos. Thank you for the video sessions.

[@AdoradorStarcraft2]

Giving a thumbs up because you can speak English properly, that is a highly valuable skill in the academic youtubes

[@devsharma1660]

this is the best video found on internet for learning logistic regression

[@BrandonFoltz]

Thank you so much. :) I am glad you find the videos helpful! Keep on learning!

[@Aishwaryasaid]

I miss your early intro from old videos. You are so good. loads of love to you

[@emilielvendorf7447]

I have to be honest! This is SUCH an amazing and simple way to learn!! THANKS ALOT!

[@sarkermohammedalam2471]

excellent elaboration and description and very much useful for the student like me who always avoid statistical descriptions.

[@yonatandahan3570]

It is clear that under 500 FICO score, the probabilities of geting an approve are zero. therefor this data should be eliminated from the data pool. I know this is an exemple, but things like that should be mentioned and referred. As the goal is to obtain a better review of the reality. other than that, I learned the hole course from you, what they fail to teach me in engineering school. your method is clear and direct. thanks a lot!!

[@brycejohnson9627]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm loving all the videos you have! One thing that could maybe make it better is having access to the datasets used in the videos so that we can follow along on our own software (R, Stata, SAS, etc) and compare how our outputs look and so we know what we're seeing on our output by comparing it to the ones in the videos. Once again, thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these videos!

[@BrandonFoltz]

Working on it! I do have many downloads on my website: www.bcfoltz.com/blog I may have missed this one.

[@princemathew9034]

Brandon, You are an awesome teacher. You reduced my stress learning statistics & probability for ML. I would want to support you Brandon. Please can you make videos on Naive Bayes, on KNN, Kmeans etc.

[@subramanianchenniappan4059]

All your playlists on stats are great. Thanks. I am a java developer trying to learn stats for datascience and machine learning

[@AnonymousSam]

Awesome, I love how you explain things, its so hard to find material out there that explains logistic regressions clearly.

[@LULU47093]

Wonderful refresher before an important interview! Thank you.

[@BrandonFoltz]

Great! Best of luck!

[@LULU47093]

It went well. Thank you Brandon.

[@kailichen1460]

I learned logistic regression in class. Still, this video is very helpful and detailed in helping me understand the difference between logistic regression and other regression models!

[@abdallamohamed2374]

simple & great explanations. Now i understand how to interpret dummy variables in multiple regression. Thanks a lot

[@AndreDidriksen]

That's actually super helpful, wish my predictive analysis course were more like your videos

[@pragyajackson]

I love your videos, Thanks for taking such effort to explain stats in the best way possible.

[@mamlakatnoonn]

very informative and systematic presenting the basic concepts

[@praveeniyer7]

This is the best video on logistic regression. I really enjoyed it.

[@lidiyaivannikova5464]

Just wanted to thank you so much for all these videos! You helped me get a full score on the final!! :)

[@kiddykaf3037]

you are a stats genius. will definitely fund you. thanks ever sooooo much Mr Foltz

[@kikkykaku]

This is absolutely great!! loved how the differences between different regressions are explained!!

[@ShalabhBhatnagar-vn4he]

As always Mr. Genius = Mr. Foltz

[@ignaciobadiola2850]

Thank you! Im taking a biostats class and although there are some differences the underlying concepts are very similar and you explanations and illustrations are very helpful.

[@vickedness]

Hi Brandon, thank you for making this video, am new to LR and this kinda gave me a sense of what its about and will have to do more study to understand this better. Will refer to the videos post some more basic research about LR.

[@shawncook_flips]

I really hope you continue to make videos, these are invaluable. Thank you so much.

[@samm7253]

Thank you so much for creating this channel. It is so helpful. I am studying epidemiology and your videos gives me a really good understanding of the subject. Keep it up and thanks again!!!

[@NeginMahmoudi]

Your content is great! Looking forward to more insightful videos from you. It would be amazing if you could cover ordinal regression in one of your future videos. Keep up the excellent work!

[@yadhu66621]

Lucid explanation.. ! greatly helps for a solid foundation on the basics... Thanks Brandon !

[@wsxzaqist]

Finally!!! I have been waiting for this topic forever. I would like to know if you any plans on making videos about Ridge,Lasso and PLS regression?

[@BrandonFoltz]

Praneeth Reddy Thanks! I doubt I would get to those in the immediate future, but I will add them to my ever-expanding list. :)

[@ahmedali-lm6vt]

I just start watching your videos I'm in a such need for my research . Thanks a lot

[@saket_gaming4071]

This video was heplful and simple to undesrtand. Thankyou:)

[@tolulopeobele9886]

You are very audible, good lecture.

[@crespoo0]

greatly explained! I'm so glad I found your channel!

[@liamhoward2208]

Hello Brandon, I would really like to see a series on logarithmic regression that models growth.

[@naveenkudupudi]

Sir, A big thank you for all your efforts.

[@juankou9243]

Best tutorial across the internet! Good Job!

[@SayantanSenBony]

Most anticipated video for me,thank you very much. If it is possible kindly add SAS result and explained little bit ...that's will grate.

[@kalimanx]

At 8:00 - great explanation on "Why not other regression methods".

[@arnovd7860]

Just posted your channel on the facebook group of my class, they will appreciate it i think :)

[@mashiatamin6887]

Please make videos on Decision trees and random forests. Would be really grateful.

[@oscardk5939]

Brandon... You Rock!!! Thanks a lot for this divine gift !!!! THANKS!!!!

[@arkarthanwin7842]

I am from Myanmar. You help me understand statistics a lot. I hope you do the explaination for Nested logit model and mixed logit model as well.

[@ProdTheRs]

Thank you very much for this clear and excelent overview of Logistic Regression. Subscribed and Liked. I will for sure share this. Thanks.

[@brandiwatts756]

Really appreciate your videos, you are the best!

[@JackIsNotInTheBox]

I don't think your data being normally distributed is a requirement for linear regression. Some users think (erroneously) that the normal distribution assumption of linear regression applies to their data. They might plot their response variable as a histogram and examine whether it differs from a normal distribution. Others assume that the explanatory variable must be normally-distributed. Neither is required. The normality assumption relates to the distributions of the residuals. This is assumed to be normally distributed, and the regression line is fitted to the data such that the mean of the residuals is zero.

[@prudviprudvi]

Hi Brandon,thanks for these videos.They are helpful but if you can add an assignment in this videos and give answers in next videos,that would really help as it is one way listening.I feel,we can understand better that way.

[@tamammohamad922]

I think you have addressed in this video all my questions. Cannot wait to watch others! Just Amazing! I am from linguistics and I wonder whether you can do some videos for Likert Scale questionnaire and how we can go about their analysis with some examples!

[@nitinthokare]

This is one of the best series with simplicity in the concept presentation. Thank you for the same. Where can we get the dataset you have used and the ppt used if possible? I went through the website but could not find these things on the website.

[@aristoi]

Great, simple explanation.

[@vishaldhamal2431]

Hi Brandon.. Thanks for this video.. Appreciate it.. looking forward to more topics

[@j-daymusic3319]

Great and informative. Thank you very much !

[@vininderbains4029]

I have loved your videos, and eagerly awaited your regression videos! Got me through my stats classes. Can you do some videos on sample size calculations for logistic and linear regression. Once you help everyone get a handle on stats, we get inspired to start applying for grants and conducting research -- and need to do sample size calculations...

[@katerinaboididou8601]

Thanks so much for this help once again!

[@chanhenry9623]

Thanks! Great video set for understanding statistics produced in professional quality! Support!

[@fahimkhalid1744]

your videos are great help for me! I like your method of explanation. Can you make some thing about probability and probability distributions and how they are useful in common statistical analyses...that would be great favour from you

[@ronnyonggo1315]

Thanks! This video is super helpful and easy to understand

[@user-xs5fq4un4m]

You are a great teacher

[@kennethabbott8248]

Very well-done.

[@omkarparishwad2138]

Could you please make further videos explaining the discrete choice models, contingency tables, maximum likelihood, Multi-nominal logit model, OLS for multiple regression, transformations of variables, model building methods and regression trees?

[@salkonify]

Clear and concise , well done :)

[@odaialzrigat]

Hi Brendon, cheers for this content. I cant find the dataset on your website, though.

[@justinpretorius722]

Hey Brandon, I appreciate your videos. They are simple and to the point. Do you think you could start stating the assumptions to these statistical methods in future videos? They are commonly overlooked. If not, no worries, thank you and keep up the great work. Also do you think you have time to go over negative binomial and poisson regressions?

[@eduugr]

Thank you Brandon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pingryv]

SImple and a very good explanation, thanks a lot!

[@jayaminichampika1887]

Thank you very much for the excellent explanation. I would like to know whether there are some videos explaining multivariate logit/probit models?

[@keekuable]

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS🔥🔥

[@Jdonovanford]

Excellent and fun explanation. I would like to test if a series of continuous IV predict two categorical variables (income level and gender). As you see, the DV are two, one of them is binary (gender) and the other has several levels (low, medium, high, extreme). What type of regression shall I use? I considered bivariate logistic regression, but here one of the DV is not binary.

[@mariamabdallah6960]

Loving this...Great

[@kathrinehansen9573]

You are soooo good seriously

[@Om-iy9ix]

Thanks a lot for making such great videos. I am beginner in ML and DS . Out of all those playlist that you created, Can you tell me which ones should I watch in sequence so that it does not create pre reference or pre knowledge of some other videos of your statistics. Please recommend the sequence of your playlist which would be most fruitfull to me. Thanks a lot for such efforts!

[@Om-iy9ix]

Brandon can you please indicate the sequence of your playlist i which it would be beneficial to watch your videos.

[@marianlenehan9618]

Great video as usual Brandon! I'm new to all this, but logistic regression sounds so much like the single layer perceptron, which I am trying to get my head around for my Health Informatics course. I've mastered the calculations for the perceptron, but I just can't represent my solution on a solution space graph...'.I think I better think it out again'

[@zainabalmukhtar4276]

Good explanation

[@NaveenKumar-ne8hd]

Please upload a video on Principal Component Analysis.

[@temiisaacaugustus8287]

this is very good.. but is credit scores a good one to see this as .. maybe I'm thinking from a machine learning point of view. because from the point of view of the little computer I know, an if an else system can do this.. .. but your explanations are very clear.. a probability of cancer classification is better
