In this post, we'll demonstrate how to estimate the coefficents of a Logistic Regression model using the Fisher Scoring algorithm in
Python. We will then compare our estimates to those generated by scikit-learn’s linear_model.LogisticRegression
class when fed
the same dataset.
In a Generalized Linear Model, the response may have any distribution from the exponential family, and rather than assuming the mean is a linear function of the explnatory variables, we assume that a function of the mean, or the link function, is a linear function of the
