What is the difference between a logistic neuron in a neural net and a logit regression?
- They both follow the Sigmoid function plotted below
Here is the R Code for reasons of reproducibility
f <- function(x) {
1 / (1 + exp(-x))
}
curve(f, xlim = c(-6,6), ylim= c(-0.5,1.5), main = "Sigmoid function", col.main = "red")
- They are both binary classifiers
- Both classifiers are symmetric and give the same output for the same input.
But what is the difference between the two?
