Return Value

The log-likelihood of the model.

Remarks

The parameters of a logistic regression model are estimated using a maximum likelihood method. This method returns the logarithm of the likelihood function for the computed model. A smaller value indicates a higher likelihood.

Because the likelihood is a number between 0 and 1, the value returned by this method is always negative.
