метод максимальної правдоподібності

In this article, the mathematical justification of logistic regression as an effective and simple to implement method of machine learning is performed.

A review of literary sources was conducted in the direction of statistical processing, analysis and classification of data using the logistic regression method, which confirmed the popularity of this method in various subject areas.

In this paper a researches of methods for the controlled classification by the spectral distance, Mahalanobis distance and maximum probability to identify forests was conducted. As a materials for the research space images of the satellites Ikonos, QuickBird and test information from ground-based methods were used. As an outcome it was identified that the maximum probability method is the most efficient one for the forest classification issue.
