`logistic_regression`.
See <<ml-put-inference-model-example>> for more details.
[[ml-put-inference-aggregated-output]]
===== Aggregated output types
`logistic_regression`::
(Optional, object)
This `aggregated_output` type works with binary classification (classification
for values [0, 1]). It multiplies the outputs (in the case of the `ensemble`
model, the inference model values) by the supplied `weights`. The resulting
vector is summed and passed to a
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function[`sigmoid` function]. The result
of the `sigmoid` function is considered the probability of class 1 (`P_1`),
consequently, the probability of class 0 is `1 - P_1`. The class with the
highest probability (either 0 or 1) is then returned. For more information about
logistic regression, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression[this wiki article].
`logistic_regression`.`weights`:::
(Required, double)
The weights to multiply by the input values (the inference values of the trained
models).
`weighted_sum`::
(Optional, object)
This `aggregated_output` type works with regression. The weighted sum of the
input values.
`weighted_sum`.`weights`:::
(Required, double)
The weights to multiply by the input values (the inference values of the trained
models).
`weighted_mode`::
(Optional, object)
This `aggregated_output` type works with regression or classification. It takes
a weighted vote of the input values. The most common input value (taking the
weights into account) is returned.
`weighted_mode`.`weights`:::
(Required, double)
The weights to multiply by the input values (the inference values of the trained
models).
See <<ml-put-inference-aggregated-output-example>> for more details.
