Suppose that we are trying to predict the medical condition of a patient in the emergency room on the basis of her symptoms. In this case, there are only two possibilities for the patient's medical condition: stroke and drug overdose. Can linear regression be used for modelling this case? Suppose encoding these responses as the response variables below, or we flip the below coding (0 for drug overdose; 1 for stroke). Will linear regression produce the same final predictions?

0 if stroke; Y = 1 if drug overdose
