> This feature enables Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) optimization for Logistic Regression based on a Gaussian prior. In practice, this is just implementing a more general form of L2 regularization parameterized by a (multivariate) mean and precisions (inverse of variance) vectors.
> Prior regularization is calculated through the following formula:
> !Prior regularization.png!
> where:
>  * λ: regularization parameter ({{regParam}})
>  * K: number of coefficients (weights vector length)
>  * w~i~ with prior Normal(μ~i~, β~i~^2^)
> _Reference: Bishop, Christopher M. (2006). Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (section 4.5). Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag._
> h3. Existing implementations
> * Python: [bayes_logistic|https://pypi.org/project/bayes_logistic/]
> h2.  Implementation
>  * 2 new parameters added to {{LogisticRegression}}: {{priorMean}} and {{priorPrecisions}}.
>  * 1 new class ({{PriorRegularization}}) implements the calculations of the value and gradient of the prior regularization term.
>  * Prior regularization is enabled when both vectors are provided and {{regParam}} > 0 and {{elasticNetParam}} < 1.
> h2. Tests

>  ** {{prior mean should be required when prior precisions is set}}
>  ** {{`regParam` should be positive when using prior regularization}}
>  ** {{`elasticNetParam` should be less than 1.0 when using prior regularization}}
