Xiangrui Meng updated SPARK-2552:
---------------------------------
Description: exp(1000) throws an error in python. For logistic function, we
can use either 1 / ( 1 + exp( -x ) ) or 1 - 1 / (1 + exp( x ) ) to compute its
value which ensuring exp always takes a negative value. (was: exp(1000) throws
an error in python. For logistic function, we can use either 1 / ( 1 + exp(-x)
) or 1 - 1 / (1 + exp(x) ) to compute its value which ensuring exp always takes
a negative value.)
