Used to get annoyed by stats consult clients who insisted they needed machine learning for their very large dataset (N of 100s or few 1000s). Now I tell them logistic regression *is* machine learning and everything is great again

And since machine learning is a sub field of AI, logistic regression is also AI. I should have understood this sooner

Logistic regression as statistical model
- prepare data
- estimate model
- evaluate performance
- report

Logistic regression as machine learning

Ah! So this categorization of models as statistics, machine learning and AI is a bit silly? Yes! The word that captures them all exists (and still sounds cool?): statistical learning. Or better: just use the name of the model (logistic regression, random forest, whatever)
