<p>
We now define the cost function for logistic regression using Maximum
Likelihood Estimation (MLE). Recall, that in MLE we choose parameters
to maximize the probability of seeing the observed data. Consider a
dataset \( \mathcal{D}=\{(y_i,\boldsymbol{x}_i)\} \) with binary labels
\( y_i\in\{0,1\} \) where the data points are drawn independently. The
likelihood of the seeing the data under our model is just:
$$
\begin{align}
P(\mathcal{D}|\mathbf{w})& = \prod_{i=1}^n \left[f(\mathbf{x}_i^T\mathbf{w})\right]^{y_i}\left[1-f(\mathbf{x}_i^T\mathbf{w})\right]^{1-y_i}\nonumber \\
\tag{3}
\end{align}
$$
from which we can readily compute the log-likelihood:
$$
\begin{equation}
l(\mathbf{w}) = \sum_{i=1}^n y_i\log f(\mathbf{x}_i^T\mathbf{w}) + (1-y_i)\log\left[1-f(\mathbf{x}_i^T\mathbf{w})\right].
\tag{4}
\end{equation}
$$
