What is Binary Logistic Regression?

Binary logistic regression is a statistical method used to predict a binary outcome (yes/no, true/false, sick/healthy) based on one or more continuous independent variables. It is often referred to as logistic regression but is specifically called binary logistic regression in Minitab. This technique is widely used in various fields to model binary outcomes and understand the relationships between variables.
