Logistic: "
In order to find the matrix B for which L is minimised, a Quasi-Newton Method is used to search for the optimized values of the m*(k-1) variables. Note that before we use the optimization procedure, we 'squeeze' the matrix B into a m*(k-1) vector. For details of the optimization procedure, please check weka.core.Optimization class.
Although original Logistic Regression does not deal with instance weights, we modify the algorithm a little bit to handle the instance weights.
