Learners completing this course will be able to differentiate regression and classification tasks, apply logistic regression models in R, preprocess raw datasets, evaluate models using confusion matrices, and optimize performance through ROC curves, AUC, and threshold adjustments. They will also gain hands-on experience with real-world applications in healthcare and finance, including diabetes prediction and credit risk assessment.

This course provides a step-by-step approach to mastering logistic regression, starting with foundational concepts and progressing to advanced applications. Learners will benefit from practical datasets, including advertisement, medical, and financial data, ensuring they acquire not just theoretical knowledge but also applied skills. Unique to this course is the integration of both technical depth (feature scaling, dimension reduction, model coefficients) and practical impact (loan approval, risk modeling). By the end, participants will be confident in building, interpreting, and validating supervised machine learning models with logistic regression in R, equipping them with valuable expertise for data science, analytics, and financial decision-making roles.

This module introduces the fundamentals of logistic regression with R, guiding learners through data preparation, feature scaling, model fitting, and coefficient interpretation. Learners will gain the skills to prepare raw data and build a strong base for classification modeling.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
