Regression models are developed in various field of applications to help researchers to predict certain variables based on other predictor variables. The dependent variables in the regression model are estimated by a number of independent variables. Model utility test is a hypothesis testing procedure in regression to verify if there is a useful relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable.

Logistic regression is a classification algorithm1 that works by trying to learn a function that approximates P(Y jX). It makes the central assumption that P(Y jX) can be approximated as a sigmoid function applied to a linear combination of input features. It is particularly important to learn because logistic regression is the basic building block of artificial neural networks.

In this area of study students cover the advanced calculus techniques for analytical and numerical differentiation and integration of a broad range of functions, and combinations of functions; and their application in a variety of theoretical and practical situations, including curve sketching, evaluation of arc length, area and volume, differential equations and kinematics, and modelling with differential equations drawing from a variety of fields such as biology, economics and science.
