Abstraction for Statistical Models

Abstraction for Statistical Models

This package defines an abstract type StatisticalModel, and an abstract subtype RegressionModel.

Particularly, instances of StatisticalModel implement the following methods.

StatsBase.adjr2Function.
adjr2(obj::StatisticalModel)
adjr²(obj::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.

source
adjr2(obj::StatisticalModel, variant::Symbol)
adjr²(obj::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 variant is :MacFadden, defined as $1 - (\log L - k)/\log L0$. In this formula, $L$ is the likelihood of the model, $L0$ that of the null model (the model including only the intercept). These two quantities are taken to be minus half deviance of the corresponding models. $k$ is the number of consumed degrees of freedom of the model (as returned by dof).

source
StatsBase.aicFunction.
aic(obj::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).

source
StatsBase.aiccFunction.
aicc(obj::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).

source
StatsBase.bicFunction.
bic(obj::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).

source
StatsBase.coefFunction.
coef(obj::StatisticalModel)

Return the coefficients of the model.

source
StatsBase.coefnamesFunction.
coefnames(obj::StatisticalModel)

Return the names of the coefficients.

source
StatsBase.coeftableFunction.
coeftable(obj::StatisticalModel)

Return a table of class CoefTable with coefficients and related statistics.

source
StatsBase.confintFunction.
confint(obj::StatisticalModel)

Compute confidence intervals for coefficients.

source
StatsBase.devianceFunction.
deviance(obj::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.

source
StatsBase.dofFunction.
dof(obj::StatisticalModel)

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

source
StatsBase.fitFunction.
fit(Histogram, data[, weight][, edges]; closed=:right, nbins)

Fit a histogram to data.

Arguments

  • data: either a vector (for a 1-dimensional histogram), or a tuple of vectors of equal length (for an n-dimensional histogram).

  • weight: an optional AbstractWeights (of the same length as the data vectors), denoting the weight each observation contributes to the bin. If no weight vector is supplied, each observation has weight 1.

  • edges: a vector (typically an AbstractRange object), or tuple of vectors, that gives the edges of the bins along each dimension. If no edges are provided, these are determined from the data.

Keyword arguments

  • closed=:right: if :left, the bin intervals are left-closed [a,b); if :right (the default), intervals are right-closed (a,b].

  • nbins: if no edges argument is supplied, the approximate number of bins to use along each dimension (can be either a single integer, or a tuple of integers).

Examples

# Univariate
h = fit(Histogram, rand(100))
h = fit(Histogram, rand(100), 0:0.1:1.0)
h = fit(Histogram, rand(100), nbins=10)
h = fit(Histogram, rand(100), weights(rand(100)), 0:0.1:1.0)
h = fit(Histogram, [20], 0:20:100)
h = fit(Histogram, [20], 0:20:100, closed=:left)

# Multivariate
h = fit(Histogram, (rand(100),rand(100)))
h = fit(Histogram, (rand(100),rand(100)),nbins=10)
source

source
StatsBase.fit!Function.

Fit a statistical model in-place.

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

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

source
StatsBase.isfittedFunction.
isfitted(obj::StatisticalModel)

Indicate whether the model has been fitted.

source
StatsBase.islinearFunction.
islinear(obj::StatisticalModel)

source
loglikelihood(obj::StatisticalModel)

Return the log-likelihood of the model.

source
StatsBase.mssFunction.
mss(obj::StatisticalModel)

Return the model sum of squares.

source
StatsBase.nobsFunction.
nobs(obj::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.

source
nulldeviance(obj::StatisticalModel)

Return the deviance of the null model, that is the one including only the intercept.

source
StatsBase.r2Function.
r2(obj::StatisticalModel)
r²(obj::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.

source
r2(obj::StatisticalModel, variant::Symbol)
r²(obj::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 $1 - \log L/\log L0$.

  • :CoxSnell, defined as $1 - (L0/L)^{2/n}$

  • :Nagelkerke, defined as $(1 - (L0/L)^{2/n})/(1 - L0^{2/n})$, with $n$ the number

of observations (as returned by nobs).

In the above formulas, $L$ is the likelihood of the model, $L0$ that of the null model (the model including only the intercept). These two quantities are taken to be minus half deviance of the corresponding models.

source
