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

[100 rows x 4 columns]

Output:

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