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.

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 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).

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).

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).

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).

StatsBase.coefFunction

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.

StatsBase.dofFunction

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

StatsBase.fitFunction
fit(Histogram, data[, weight][, edges]; closed=:left, 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: if :left (the default), the bin intervals are left-closed [a,b); if :right, 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=:right)

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

Fit a statistical model.

fit(ZScoreTransform, X; dims=nothing, center=true, scale=true)

Fit standardization parameters to vector or matrix X and return a ZScoreTransform transformation object.

Keyword arguments

  • dims: if 1 fit standardization parameters in column-wise fashion; if 2 fit in row-wise fashion. The default is nothing, which is equivalent to dims=2 with a deprecation warning.

  • center: if true (the default) center data so that its mean is zero.

  • scale: if true (the default) scale the data so that its variance is equal to one.

StatsBase.informationmatrixFunction
informationmatrix(model::StatisticalModel; expected::Bool = true)

StatsBase.mssFunction
mss(obj::StatisticalModel)

Return the model sum of squares.

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.

StatsBase.nulldevianceFunction

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

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.

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 $1 - \log (L)/\log (L_0)$;
  • :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.
