Explain Logistic Regression

Logistic regression is a statistical method used for binary classification where the dependent variable has two possible values, usually 0 and 1. It is used for classification rather than regression tasks. In a heart disease prediction project, logistic regression estimates the likelihood of a patient having heart disease based on factors like age, sex, cholesterol levels and other variables.
