That's the problem. Log odds are not intuitive. Hell, even probabilities aren't intuitive, and that's much easier to think about. Look at all the people start crying that "it was wrong" when the less likely event happens when the prediction said 90% probability.
This isn't a crazy minority position "logistic regression is not interpretable" is truism from basic ML courses, and blog posts all over the internet.
- thanatropism 8y agoIt's odd that "ML theory" (really data science theory) as proposed by blog posts would supersede established statistics. Something is rotten in the kingdom of Denmark.
- jonathankoren 8y agoI think you’re just trolling now. More to the point, I think you fundamentally misunderstand what interpretability means. Logistic regression as not being interpretable was drilled into me by one of the creators of AdaBoost in grad school. As I said, this is widely held position.
