Logistic regression, also known as logit regression or logit model, is a mathematical model used in statistics to estimate (guess) the probability of an event occurring having been given some previous data.
Logistic regression works with binary data, where either the event happens (1) or the event does not happen (0).
So given some feature x it tries to find out whether some event y happens or not.
So y can either be 0 or 1.
In the case where the event happens, y is given the value 1.
If the event does not happen, then y is given the value of 0.
For example, if y represents whether a sports team wins a match, then y will be 1 if they win the match or y will be 0 if they do not.
This is known as binomial logistic regression.
There is also another form of logistic regression which uses multiple values for the variable y. This form of logistic regression is known as multinomial logistic regression.
Logistic regression uses the logistic function to find a model that fits with the data points.
The function gives an 'S' shaped curve to model the data.
The curve is restricted between 0 and 1, so it is easy to apply when y is binary.
Logistic regression can then model events better than linear regression, as it shows the probability for y being 1 for a given x value.
Logistic regression is used in statistics and machine learning to predict values of an input from previous test data.
Logistic regression is an alternative method to use other than the simpler linear regression.
Linear regression tries to predict the data by finding a linear – straight line – equation to model or predict future data points.
Logistic regression does not look at the relationship between the two variables as a straight line.
Instead, Logistic regression uses the natural logarithm function to find the relationship between the variables and uses test data to find the coefficients.
The function can then predict the future results using these coefficients in the logistic equation.
Logistic regression uses the concept of odds ratios to calculate the probability.
This is defined as the ratio of the odds of an event happening to its not happening.
For example, the probability of a sports team to win a certain match might be 0.75.
The probability for that team to lose would be 1 – 0.75 = 0.25.
The odds for that team winning would be 0.75/0.25 = 3.
This can be said as the odds of the team winning are 3 to 1.
The natural logarithm of the odds ratio is then taken in order to create the logistic equation.
The new equation is known as the logit:
This final equation is the logistic curve for Logistic regression.
It models the non-linear relationship between x and y with an ‘S’-like curve for the probabilities that y =1 - that event the y occurs.
In this example a and b represent the gradients for the logistic function just like in linear regression.
The logit equation can then be expanded to handle multiple gradients.
This gives more freedom with how the logistic curve matches the data.
The multiplication of two vectors can then be used to model more gradient values and give the following equation:
In this equation w = [ w0 , w1 , w2 , ... , wn ] and represents the n gradients for the equation.
The powers of x are given by the vector  x = [ 1 , x , x2 , .. , xn ] .
These two vectors give the new logit equation with multiple gradients.
The logistic equation then can then be changed to show this:

Environmental migration is a form of migration which happens because the environment changes where people live.
These changes can be sudden (such as floods, droughts, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions), or they can happen over longer periods of time.
An example of changes that occur only slowly are those of desertification or the rise of the sea level.
People migrate due to the changes in their environment, and the find a new home.
Did you know that Chinese people just migrated when there was the Coronavirus in China.
Despite problems in formulating a uniform and clear-cut definition of environmental migration, such a concept has increased as an issue of concern in the 2000s as policy-makers, environmental and social scientists attempt to conceptualize the potential societal effects of climate change and general environmental degradation. "
Unless it is assumed" in order to consider a person a climate refugee, nature or the environment could be considered the persecutor.
Sometimes people move to a different county or region, because they think that they are economically better off.
Economic migration happens for different reasons, for example:
People think they have a better chance of finding a job
They get paid more
Social security is better in the new place
They pay less taxes

The S-train (, ) is an urban rail network which serves Copenhagen, Denmark and the surrounding area.
It connects the city center to its suburbs.
The railway they use is called S-banen (The S-track).
The S-train is operated by DSB ().
The S-track has a length of about .
There are 84 Railway stations, where 32 of the stations are in the central area.
On weekdays all stations are served at least every 10 minutes until the evening.
There are six main lines.
There is one peak hour support line.
Since most lines use the same path through the city core, train departures every second minute.
On most suburb lines trains depart every five minutes.
On Sundays these time intervals are doubled.
Most trains have 8 cars but more can be added as needed.
There are a total of 120 8-car trains.

Templers are members of the Temple Society ().
It is a German Protestant sect.
Their roots are in the Pietist movement of the Lutheran Church.
The Templers were expelled from the church in 1858.
This was because of their millennial beliefs.
Their aim was to realize the apocalyptic visions of the prophets of Israel in the Holy Land.
Christoph Hoffmann founded the Temple society in 1861.
He had 60 followers when they left the Wuerttemberg state (Lutheran) church.
Hoffmann believed his calling was to build Christian communities in the Holy land.
They founded Templer communities at Haifa (1869), Sarona (1871) and Rephaim near Jerusalem (1873).

The Briard (or Berger de Brie, Shepherd (dog) from Brie) is a French kind of dog.
Originally, the Briard was used for herding livestock.
The Briard is an old race of dogs, which is mentioned in a manuscript of the 14th century (about hunting).
The Briards exist in different colors, the most common ones are pale brown and black.
The Briard is a long-haired breed of dog; the short-haired Beauceron is probably the same race.
The Briard is a working dog breed; it has also been used as a search-and-rescue dog, and in certain roles as a therapy dog, for example to help people with certain conditions, such as those with Post-traumatic stress disorder.
Attached Resource Computer NETwork (abbreviated ARCNET or ARCnet) is a communications protocol for local area networks.
ARCNET was the first widely available networking system for microcomputers; it became popular in the 1980s for office automation tasks.
It was later applied to embedded systems where certain features of the protocol are especially useful.
It was first used in 1977.
Arcnet uses a star-like topology, which is much easier to build and maintain than the bus topologies of other protocols developed later, such asEthernet.
Original arcnet used coaxial cables, and a token-passing mechanism, much like token ring.
At about 20 MBit/s maximum speed, ARCnet is much slower than other network protocols, such as ethernet.
Because of its token-passing mechanisms, there are no collisions between packets.
This makes it suitable for certain industrial applications, as well as for ohme automation, where it is still used.

A seed drill is a sowing device that sows the seed precisely in the soil at proper depth and distance.
Then it covers them with soil.
It protects the seeds from birds and saves time and labour.
Jethro Tull is widely thought of as having invented the seed drill, though earlier the Sumerians used a single-tube seed drill, and the Chinese had also used a multi-tube seed drill.
The use of a seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield (seeds harvested per seed planted) by as much as nine times.
Behaviour therapy is used for a number of methods of psychotherapy.
Ivan Pavlov found that it is possible to "learn" how to react to a stimulus.
His method is known as classical conditioning today.
Behaviour therapy tries to use this knowledge to change the behaviour of people.
In that way, people "learn" how to cope with their fears, for example.
In a similar manner, people can be helped to cope with a number of mental disorders.
One well known kind of behaviour therapy is exposure therapy: People with fears are "exposed" to them, and learn how to cope.
As an example, someone who is afraid of spiders will be exposed to spiders.
Types of behavioural therapy
