Dec 4, 2020 at 1:43 | comment | added | Sazid Ahmad | I would just add to this excellent answer that with logged probabilities the maximum value can be log(1)=0. Whereas with logged odds we need not be bound to that. e.g. log (0.99/(1-0.99)) would well exceed 0. I know this point has been raised in the answer but I thought illustrating with an example would help novices such as myself | |
