Phishing detection with logistic regression and decision trees

After having analyzed the Perceptron and the SVM, we now deal with alternative classification strategies that make use of logistic regression and decision trees.

But before continuing, we will discover the distinctive features of these algorithms and their use for spam detection and phishing, starting with regression models.

Regression models

Regression models are undoubtedly the most used of all learning algorithms. Developed from statistical analysis, regression models have quickly spread in ML and in AI in general. The most known and used regression model is linear regression, thanks to the simplicity of its implementation and the good predictive capacity that...
