That's the whole reason I made this video - finding a way to do this WITHOUT R! Glad this helped

hey, thanks for effort you put into this, i have a question, why did you use a natural log function in the likelihood!

Great question! (Sorry for the long answer, but it's an important component of this approach to regression). In logistic regression, the natural log function is used in the likelihood because of its properties that make it well-suited for modeling probabilities. The logit function, which is the natural log of the odds ratio, converts the probability of success to a linear function of the predictors. It also converts the probability of success to a linear function of the predictors. This linear relationship between the log odds and the predictors is convenient for modeling with linear regression techniques.
