Hi!

We use a logistic regression here, right?

So, the addition of 1 to the denominator in the logistic function is essential for transforming the linear combination of input features into a probability. It ensures that the output is bounded between 0 and 1, making it suitable for probability estimation in tasks such as calculating the probability of default for a customer.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Ned
