Logistic Regression

Logistic Regression I The Newton-Raphson step is βnew = βold +(XTWX)−1XT(y −p) = (XTWX)−1XTW(Xβold +W−1(y −p)) = (XTWX)−1XTWz , where z , Xβold +W−1(y −p). I If z is viewed as a response and X is the input matrix, βnew is the solution to a weighted least square problem: βnew ←argmin β (z−Xβ)TW(z−Xβ) . I Recall that linear regression by least square is …
