    $\begingroup$ It seems like you are interested in the difference between predictive and inferential modeling. Is that correct? // Either way, logistic regression is a method for estimating probabilities (or at least values between zero and one). $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 9, 2023 at 18:17

    $\begingroup$ I didn't downvote but instead vote but instead vote to close this question. Surely whether a problem is a regression problem or a classification problem depends on what the goal of the study is. And the goal is not determined by the statistical analysis; it's the other way around. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 10, 2023 at 16:12

    $\begingroup$ @rep_ho Well to me it's not clear. There was a callout to explain why people might find something confusing about this question (under the assumption that clarity if subjective?) No instructions say that you are allowed to vote or comment only if you are interested in writing an answer. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 10, 2023 at 19:30

    $\begingroup$ I notice that you've, once again, added a bounty requesting answers from a reputable source without any elaboration. Moreover, the accepted answer already includes a citation. Are we to infer that the citation is not suitably reputable? What kind of information do you want to glean from a reference? On the other hand, if you do not really seek a reference, but instead want to attract more answers, it would make more sense to select "draw more attention" as the reason for the bounty. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 12, 2023 at 3:50
