Generalized Linear Models (Formula)ΒΆ
This notebook illustrates how you can use R-style formulas to fit Generalized Linear Models.
To begin, we load the Star98 dataset and we construct a formula and pre-process the data:
[1]:
import statsmodels.api as sm
import statsmodels.formula.api as smf
star98 = sm.datasets.star98.load_pandas().data
formula = "SUCCESS ~ LOWINC + PERASIAN + PERBLACK + PERHISP + PCTCHRT + \
PCTYRRND + PERMINTE*AVYRSEXP*AVSALK + PERSPENK*PTRATIO*PCTAF"
dta = star98[
[
"NABOVE",
"NBELOW",
"LOWINC",
"PERASIAN",
"PERBLACK",
"PERHISP",
"PCTCHRT",
"PCTYRRND",
"PERMINTE",
"AVYRSEXP",
"AVSALK",
"PERSPENK",
"PTRATIO",
"PCTAF",
]
].copy()
endog = dta["NABOVE"] / (dta["NABOVE"] + dta.pop("NBELOW"))
del dta["NABOVE"]
dta["SUCCESS"] = endog
Then, we fit the GLM model:
[2]:
mod1 = smf.glm(formula=formula, data=dta, family=sm.families.Binomial()).fit()
print(mod1.summary())

Finally, we define a function to operate customized data transformation using the formula framework:
[3]:
def double_it(x):
return 2 * x
formula = "SUCCESS ~ double_it(LOWINC) + PERASIAN + PERBLACK + PERHISP + PCTCHRT + \
PCTYRRND + PERMINTE*AVYRSEXP*AVSALK + PERSPENK*PTRATIO*PCTAF"
mod2 = smf.glm(formula=formula, data=dta, family=sm.families.Binomial()).fit()
print(mod2.summary())

As expected, the coefficient for double_it(LOWINC) in the second model is half the size of the LOWINC coefficient from the first model:
