Q1. 1. What is the role of beta value in Logistic regression? 2. What is bias variance trade off? 3. How did you decide on the list of variables that would be used in a model?
Ans. 
Beta value in logistic regression measures the impact of independent variables on the log odds of the dependent variable.
• Beta value indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between the independent variables and the log odds of the dependent variable.

• A positive beta value suggests that as the independent variable increases, the log odds of the dependent variable also increase.

• A negative beta value sugges...read more
