Abstraction for Statistical Models

adjr2(model::StatisticalModel)
adjr²(model::StatisticalModel)

Adjusted coefficient of determination (adjusted R-squared).

For linear models, the adjusted R² is defined as $1 - (1 - (1-R^2)(n-1)/(n-p))$, with $R^2$ the coefficient of determination, $n$ the number of observations, and $p$ the number of coefficients (including the intercept). This definition is generally known as the Wherry Formula I.

adjr2(model::StatisticalModel, variant::Symbol)
adjr²(model::StatisticalModel, variant::Symbol)

Adjusted pseudo-coefficient of determination (adjusted pseudo R-squared). For nonlinear models, one of the several pseudo R² definitions must be chosen via variant. The only currently supported variants are :MacFadden, defined as $1 - (\log (L) - k)/\log (L0)$ and :devianceratio, defined as $1 - (D/(n-k))/(D_0/(n-1))$. In these formulas, $L$ is the likelihood of the model, $L0$ that of the null model (the model including only the intercept), $D$ is the deviance of the model, $D_0$ is the deviance of the null model, $n$ is the number of observations (given by nobs) and $k$ is the number of consumed degrees of freedom of the model (as returned by dof).

aic(model::StatisticalModel)

Akaike's Information Criterion, defined as $-2 \log L + 2k$, with $L$ the likelihood of the model, and k its number of consumed degrees of freedom (as returned by dof).

aicc(model::StatisticalModel)

Corrected Akaike's Information Criterion for small sample sizes (Hurvich and Tsai 1989), defined as $-2 \log L + 2k + 2k(k-1)/(n-k-1)$, with $L$ the likelihood of the model, $k$ its number of consumed degrees of freedom (as returned by dof), and $n$ the number of observations (as returned by nobs).

bic(model::StatisticalModel)

Bayesian Information Criterion, defined as $-2 \log L + k \log n$, with $L$ the likelihood of the model, $k$ its number of consumed degrees of freedom (as returned by dof), and $n$ the number of observations (as returned by nobs).

coef(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the coefficients of the model.

coefnames(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the names of the coefficients.

coeftable(model::StatisticalModel; level::Real=0.95)

Return a table with coefficients and related statistics of the model. level determines the level for confidence intervals (by default, 95%).

The returned CoefTable object implements the Tables.jl interface, and can be converted e.g. to a DataFrame via using DataFrames; DataFrame(coeftable(model)).

confint(model::StatisticalModel; level::Real=0.95)

Compute confidence intervals for coefficients, with confidence level level (by default 95%).

deviance(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the deviance of the model relative to a reference, which is usually when applicable the saturated model. It is equal, up to a constant, to $-2 \log L$, with $L$ the likelihood of the model.

dof(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the number of degrees of freedom consumed in the model, including when applicable the intercept and the distribution's dispersion parameter.

Fit a statistical model.

Fit a statistical model in-place.

informationmatrix(model::StatisticalModel; expected::Bool = true)

Return the information matrix of the model. By default the Fisher information matrix is returned, while the observed information matrix can be requested with expected = false.

isfitted(model::StatisticalModel)

Indicate whether the model has been fitted.

islinear(model::StatisticalModel)

Indicate whether the model is linear.

loglikelihood(model::StatisticalModel)
loglikelihood(model::StatisticalModel, observation)

Return the log-likelihood of the model.

With an observation argument, return the contribution of observation to the log-likelihood of model.

If observation is a Colon, return a vector of each observation's contribution to the log-likelihood of the model. In other words, this is the vector of the pointwise log-likelihood contributions.

In general, sum(loglikehood(model, :)) == loglikelihood(model).

mss(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the model sum of squares.

nobs(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the number of independent observations on which the model was fitted. Be careful when using this information, as the definition of an independent observation may vary depending on the model, on the format used to pass the data, on the sampling plan (if specified), etc.

nulldeviance(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the deviance of the null model, obtained by dropping all independent variables present in model.

If model includes an intercept, the null model is the one with only the intercept; otherwise, it is the one without any predictor (not even the intercept).

nullloglikelihood(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the log-likelihood of the null model, obtained by dropping all independent variables present in model.

If model includes an intercept, the null model is the one with only the intercept; otherwise, it is the one without any predictor (not even the intercept).

r2(model::StatisticalModel)
r²(model::StatisticalModel)

Coefficient of determination (R-squared).

For a linear model, the R² is defined as $ESS/TSS$, with $ESS$ the explained sum of squares and $TSS$ the total sum of squares.

r2(model::StatisticalModel, variant::Symbol)
r²(model::StatisticalModel, variant::Symbol)

Pseudo-coefficient of determination (pseudo R-squared).

For nonlinear models, one of several pseudo R² definitions must be chosen via variant. Supported variants are:

• :MacFadden (a.k.a. likelihood ratio index), defined as $1 - \log (L)/\log (L_0)$;
• :CoxSnell, defined as $1 - (L_0/L)^{2/n}$;
• :Nagelkerke, defined as $(1 - (L_0/L)^{2/n})/(1 - L_0^{2/n})$.
• :devianceratio, defined as $1 - D/D_0$.

In the above formulas, $L$ is the likelihood of the model, $L_0$ is the likelihood of the null model (the model with only an intercept), $D$ is the deviance of the model (from the saturated model), $D_0$ is the deviance of the null model, $n$ is the number of observations (given by nobs).

The Cox-Snell and the deviance ratio variants both match the classical definition of R² for linear models.

rss(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the residual sum of squares of the model.

score(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the score of the model, that is the gradient of the log-likelihood with respect to the coefficients.

stderror(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the standard errors for the coefficients of the model.

vcov(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the variance-covariance matrix for the coefficients of the model.

weights(model::StatisticalModel)

Return the weights used in the model.

crossmodelmatrix(model::RegressionModel)

Return X'X where X is the model matrix of model. This function will return a pre-computed matrix stored in model if possible.

dof_residual(model::RegressionModel)

Return the residual degrees of freedom of the model.

fitted(model::RegressionModel)

Return the fitted values of the model.

leverage(model::RegressionModel)

Return the diagonal of the projection matrix of the model.

cooksdistance(model::RegressionModel)

meanresponse(model::RegressionModel)

Return the mean of the response.

modelmatrix(model::RegressionModel)

Return the model matrix (a.k.a. the design matrix).

response(model::RegressionModel)

Return the model response (a.k.a. the dependent variable).

responsename(model::RegressionModel)

Return the name of the model response (a.k.a. the dependent variable).

predict(model::RegressionModel, [newX])

Form the predicted response of model. An object with new covariate values newX can be supplied, which should have the same type and structure as that used to fit model; e.g. for a GLM it would generally be a DataFrame with the same variable names as the original predictors.

predict!

In-place version of predict.

residuals(model::RegressionModel)

Return the residuals of the model.

ConvergenceException(iters::Int, lastchange::Real=NaN, tol::Real=NaN)

The fitting procedure failed to converge in iters number of iterations, i.e. the lastchange between the cost of the final and penultimate iteration was greater than specified tolerance tol.
