The initial logistic regression model, optimized using GridSearchCV, achieved anaccuracy of 71.4%. GridSearch CV is a method used to check how well a predictive model willwork on new data. It does this by splitting the data into multiple parts, training the model onsome parts, and testing it on others, helping to ensure that the results are not just a coincidencebut meaningful. The model's performance varied across the two classes. For Class 0 (low ISE),the model achieved a recall of 100% but had a low precision of 33%, leading to an F1-score of0.50
