Training a logistic regression model in R can be accomplished using the glm()
function, which stands for generalized linear model. Here's an example of how to train a logistic regression model using the built-in mtcars
dataset in R:

In the above example, we're predicting the vs
variable (engine cylinder configuration: V-shaped (0) or straight (1)) using the mpg
(miles per gallon) and hp
(horsepower) variables. We pass these input variables to the formula argument of the glm()
function (vs ~ mpg + hp
). The family
argument specifies the type of model we're fitting (in this case, binary logistic regression).
Once the model is trained, we use the summary()
function to print out the model summary, which includes information about the model coefficients, significance levels, and goodness-of-fit measures such as the deviance and AIC.
