Logistic regression differs from other types of regression models because it is specifically used for predicting a binary outcome (i.e. a categorical dependent variable with only two possible outcomes). Other types of regression models can be used to predict continuous or categorical dependent variables with more than two possible outcomes. Therefore, logistic regression is the best choice because it addresses the unique nature of the dependent variable being predicted.
