In healthcare, it is particularly valuable because it is used for binary classification tasks , such as predicting whether a patient has a certain disease (yes/no) or if a recovery will occur (yes/no). This is ideal for healthcare applications like diagnosis prediction or determining whether patients will need intensive care. The output of logistic regression is a probability score between 0 and 1, which makes it highly interpretable and suitable for binary outcomes, like disease diagnosis or treatment response. Option A: Linear regression is used for predicting continuous outcomes (e.g., price, temperature), not binary outcomes like disease presence. Option C: Time series analysis is typically used for forecasting data over time and would not directly be applied to binary outcome predictions like a diagnosis. Option D: SVM is a robust classifier, but logistic regression is often preferred for binary outcomes in medical fields due to its simplicity and interpretability. Option E: Decision Trees could also be used for classification, but logistic regression generally gives better probability outputs that are more interpretable in healthcare predictions.
