Logistic regression

Pros: Computationally inexpensive, easy to implement, knowledge representation

easy to interpret

Cons: Prone to underfitting, may have low accuracy Works with: Numeric values, nominal values

If you re trying to predict or forecast a target value, then you need to look into supervised learning. If not, then unsupervised learning is the place you want to be. If you've chosen supervised learning, what's your target value? Is it a discrete value like Yes/No, 1/2/3, A/B/C: or Red/Yellow/Black? If so, then you want to look into classification. If the target value can take on a number of values, say any value from 0.00 to 100.00, or-999 to 999, or+_to -_, then you need to look into regression. If you're not trying to predict a target value: then you need to look into unsupervised learning. Are you trying to fit your data into some discrete groups? If so and that's all you need, you should look into clustering. Do you need to have some numerical estimate of how strong the fit is into each group? If you answer yes then you probably should look into a density estimation algorithm.

In this problem you have been given high-dimensional independent variables like texts, corrections, test results etc. and you have to predict either valid or not valid (One of two). So all of the below technique can be applied to this problem.
