# logregnode properties #

![Logistic node icon](https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsd/nodes/scripting_guide/clementine/images/logisticnodeicon.png)Logistic regression is a statistical technique for classifying records based on values of input fields\. It is analogous to linear regression but takes a categorical target field instead of a numeric range\.
