In this case, the function is the base r function glm, so no additional package is required. If linear regression serves to predict continuous y variables, logistic regression is used for binary classification. If we use linear regression to model a dichotomous variable as y, the resulting model might not restrict the predicted ys within 0 and 1. Instead of always writing tests for some code that we already have, we work in a redgreen loop. As previously mentioned,train can preprocess the data in various ways prior to model fitting. Usually, whether the methods are the same or different, the specifications may be tighter for the inprocess tests.
