Why do we need ROC curves and confusion matrices? For assessing the predictive accuracy of the classifier (i.e. logistic regression) or for assessing the accuracy of medical tests and calculating lot’s of medical metrics (i.e. prevalence). Since confusion matrix works for both, classification and medicine, there is a nice link between machine learning and epidemiology.
This is the last lecture in my coarse “Statistics for non statisticians”.

Why do we need logistic regression for predictions for studying how things influence other things Since logistic regression can easily handle both numerical and categorical predictors, it gives you the power to check literally anything on it’s ability to increase or decrease the probability (or the odds) of success.
Providing probabilities makes a logistic regression one of the most useful statistical tools for understanding the world.

Why do we need linear regression for predictions for studying how things influence other things Regression is a line which tries to be as close as possible to all data points simultaneously and in this way describes your data using only two numbers, intercept and slope. If there is a relationship between two variables, then you can predict one of those variables by knowing only the value of the other.
Why do we need statistics? to learn about the world to do science to develop artificial intelligence The bad news is - statistics is un-intuitive, boring and hard to understand, otherwise, you’d already know everything. But the good new is - you don’t need to understand it. You just need to know how to use statistics to get the most out of your data. Think about driving a car for a moment.

how logistic regression works simple logistic regression Why do we need multiple logistic regression If one predictor influences another predictor (they are correlated), producing two simple regressions (with each of the predictors) might give completely different results as compared to the model containing both predictors.
