Also bought the book and am very happy with it! I really recommend the book and love the idea of supporting the channel in such a way! Thanks for everything!
Your videos helped me throughout my MS, helped me clear my interview for PhD at the 2nd best university of India (IIT Delhi), and now its helping me sail through my PhD. Words won't be enough for all the help you've provided! All I wanna say is Wish I can possess explanation skills like you and become a teacher like you someday!
Just want to say the quality of the video is top-notch. I'm currently pursuing MS in data science at a top-5 university in the US, but I did not find materials that explain logistic regression so clearly in such short space, and that managed to connect several related concepts together. Thank you for doing this!
I know it's an old video but I religiously watch your videos even today. I have become so used to it that even while taking notes, I write " BAM", "Triple BAM" and "Double BAM".
OMG. This is the best channel for ML. Gonna recommend this to everybody in class. Hats off to your way of explaining such complicated topics in few min. Literally, I am more interested in learning ML in depth now all because of you. Why don't you drop a bootcamp course or something?
I didn´t understand Logistic Regression at all. I was desperate, then I clicked on this video...and BAAM. Love you. You really helped me. Thank u Josh!
Mate, you are the only one who ties the knots all along the conceptual backgrounds which bring about the methods blindly used by most of us. Superb. Couldn't help but subscribe and comment here. Keep at it. This channel is pure gold.
Thank you so much for clarifying logistic regression in an easy to understand way! My prof is horrible at lectures, and this video really hits on the fundamentals of this topic
You are helping me learn so much in such less time, that too without leaving any concepts. I prepared for my exam by watching your videos in 2 days for the course that was taught for 30 hours or so.
My youtube watching history, you are the only guy who got like for every video I watch. and I like the videos which are genuinely helpful and amazing. You are the amazing stat guy every. Please, Keep doing what you are doing Josh!
Thank you so much for revealing in such a clear way the otherwise esoteric enterprise of statistics for non-statisticians / mathematicians! People like you makes all the difference in educating a lot of people.
Thanks for your videos! I got super lost in class because my prof went straight to the math without explaining the concept of Logistic Regression first in English. You're a life saver.
I'm liking the video just for the entry music. Relieved all my stress and I was able to focus better. What a positive way to start the lecture. Impressive man.
Josh, you are truly the best and most beautiful person on RU-vid. Not just because you help me out of tricky situations, but just your general attitude makes me happy to learn statistics!
The thing i like most about this channel is that it reveals the inside details of the personal stat world, like in this video he revealed the expression "totes useless". Had no idea about this. Today I'm gonna use this in class and infront of my friends and everyone will know I'm the cool one.
Thanks Josh! This is the most understandable material I've ever seen. Please keep up your excellent work! By the way, I had to replay the intro several times, love it!!
Anyone can make a simple topic difficult.. It takes skills to make a difficult topic simpler one.. You just made stats look easy to me.. That's the sign of a great teacher.. Keep up the good work..
Sir!, The world should make you the Universal Teacher for Statistics! Your way of teaching is something that I have never encountered before. Interesting, simple and most importantly I can understand! Thank you for making these videos! May the force be with you!
Dead Josh! I just randomly chosed this video from the many you uploaded to your channel to say that a few days ago I got my master degree from Survey Statistics and to say thank you for your awsome videos. You helped me a lot to absolve this challenge with sucess, thank you 1000times :)
What a brilliant explanation of a 'tricky' technique! Well done, Josh, and thank you so much - I'm helping my son with his MA in Pol. Sci.; I have taught (more elementary!) stats myself; I'd heard of LOGISTIC REGRESSION, but had never myself used or taught it; you've made it SOOO clear!!
I just wanted to have better understanding of ROC, picked a random youtube video... and now I feel like i need to watch every single video on this channel.
Ohhoo I am a 15 year old, and yet understood everything you said!!! I now know Feed-forward neural networks and Convolutional ones I'm focusing on LSTMs now I've come so far because of your explanation on these basic algorithms (I mean Linear and logistic regression, and gradient descent) Your explanations are the best!! Keep it up! Thank you!
I am LMAO after the seeing the "Astrological sign" as a feature, awesome content Josh! I am learning so much from your videos and the content is helping me understand scientific papers!
Thanks so much for all these brilliant videos, Josh! I've been binge-watching your vids lately and am learning so much from them. Speaking of fitting a squiggly line, any plans for ordered probit regression (which I believe too similar to logit regression?) and/or survival/hazard analysis?
Probit regression is on the to-do list. It is very similar to logistic regression - if you watch the "Details" videos that I made for Logistic Regression, I bet you can figure it out! ;)
Hi Josh Starmer, I'm Manojkumar from India and a big fan of your teaching. Who can better teach complex concepts in a simple & unique way other than you ? (BAM) You are making a great contribution to the society ! (DOUBLE BAM) In my view, you should be felicitated by the Government for enlightening many across the globe in the field of statistics ! (TRIPLE BAM) Wonder if you also have a channel dedicated to Maths, such as MathQuest.
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you like what I do. It's my dream to one day have like minded people help me make more videos for different topics (like math). :)
Thank you so much for these tutorials and explanations! I love coming to your channel when I need to understand a machine-learning concept; I always find what I'm looking for. :)
Thanks for your videos. They are great and easy to understand. Lately I have the feeling that more and more expert knowledge is being hidden behind a paywall, which is making life very difficult for students.
Wow, what a legend! I went from a uni lecture that made no sense to your video that easily and clearly explained every aspect, and also made me giggle at the start. In my opinion, that shows mastery over a subject. Taking something complex and simplifying it so anyone can understand. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!!
Worth saying that you can compare models in logistic regression, just not with the same approach as linear regression. One simple way, for instance is using the Akaike Information Criterion (or AIC); it's calculated by taking the natural log of the likelihood function, and subtracting it from the number of predictors in the model, then doubling that difference: 2[k - ln(likelihood function)]. Once you've calculated it for each model, the one with the *lowest* AIC is the most parsimonious. That is, it does the best job of fitting the data with the fewest predictors. You can do something similar to get Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), and if you take the quotient of two BICs, you've got a Bayes factor that you can use to compare the evidence for or against either model.
Thank you for these amazing videos. Do you maybe plan to do more videos regarding generalised linear models like poisson regression or gamma regression? 😊 would be super cool!
