Binomial.resid_anscombe(endog, mu, var_weights=1.0, scale=1.0)[source]

The Anscombe residuals

Parameters:
  • endog (array) – The endogenous response variable
  • mu (array) – The inverse of the link function at the linear predicted values.
  • var_weights (array-like) – 1d array of variance (analytic) weights. The default is 1.
  • scale (float, optional) – An optional argument to divide the residuals by sqrt(scale). The default is 1.
Returns:

resid_anscombe – The Anscombe residuals as defined below.
Return type:

array

Notes

\[n^{2/3}*(cox\_snell(endog)-cox\_snell(mu)) / (mu*(1-mu/n)*scale^3)^{1/6} * \sqrt(var\_weights)\]

where cox_snell is defined as cox_snell(x) = betainc(2/3., 2/3., x)*betainc(2/3.,2/3.) where betainc is the incomplete beta function as defined in scipy, which uses a regularized version (with the unregularized version, one would just have \(cox_snell(x) = Betainc(2/3., 2/3., x)\)).

The name ‘cox_snell’ is idiosyncratic and is simply used for convenience following the approach suggested in Cox and Snell (1968). Further note that \(cox\_snell(x) = \frac{3}{2}*x^{2/3} * hyp2f1(2/3.,1/3.,5/3.,x)\) where hyp2f1 is the hypergeometric 2f1 function. The Anscombe residuals are sometimes defined in the literature using the hyp2f1 formulation. Both betainc and hyp2f1 can be found in scipy.
