Build a logistic regression model from scratch, with the following conditions:

• Return the parameters of the regression
• Do not include an intercept term
• Use basic gradient descent (with newton’s method) as your optimization method and the log-likelihood as your loss function.
• Don’t include a penalty term.
• You may use numpy and pandas but NOT scikit-learn

Example:

Input:

step_size = 0.02
max_steps = 100
starting_point = np.asarray(data.drop('Target').mean())
print(data)
...
        Var1      Var2      Var3  Target
0   0.439326 -0.662463  0.027418       1
1  -1.363880 -1.303938 -1.595875       1

4  -0.315593 -1.655797  0.126860       0
..       ...       ...       ...     ...

98 -0.769290  1.348070 -0.059427       0
99  2.018888 -0.945268 -0.851626       0

[100 rows x 4 columns]

Output:

def logistic_regression(data,starting_point,step_size,steps) -> [0.35155765,-0.30863254,-0.13125343]
