%   Logistic regression via Geometric Programming
%   by Seung Jean Kim and Almir Mutapcic
%   (Will be available soon.)
%
% Solves the logistic regression problem re-formulated as a GP.
% The original log regression problem is:
%
%   minimize   sum_i(theta'*x_i) + sum_i( log(1 + exp(-theta'*x_i)) )
%
% where x are explanatory variables and theta are model parameters.
% The equivalent GP is obtained by the following change of variables:
% z_i = exp(theta_i). The log regression problem is then a GP:
%
%   minimize   prod( prod(z_j^x_j) ) * (prod( 1 + prod(z_j^(-x_j)) ))
%
% with variables z and data x (explanatory variables).
