It can be useful to visualize the sigmoid function, the key characteristic of a logistic regression model (Figure 1). The purpose of the function is to transform a probability (as a real number) into ...

Figure 2: Logistic Regression Explained with a Graph . When graphed, the logistic sigmoid function has an "S" shape centered around z = 0. The magnitude of the graph ranges between 0 and 1. Each data ...

Logistic regression employs a logistic function with a sigmoid (S-shaped) curve to map linear combinations of predictions and their probabilities. Sigmoid functions map any real value into ...

The LOGISTIC and PROBIT procedures can perform logistic and ordinal logistic regression. See Chapter 5, "Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis Procedures," Chapter 39, "The LOGISTIC Procedure," ...
