statsmodels.gam.generalized_additive_model.GLMGam¶

class statsmodels.gam.generalized_additive_model.GLMGam(endog, exog=None, smoother=None, alpha=0, family=None, offset=None, exposure=None, missing='none', **kwargs)[source]¶

Generalized Additive Models (GAM)

This inherits from GLM.

Warning: Not all inherited methods might take correctly account of the penalization. Not all options including offset and exposure have been verified yet.

Parameters:¶

endogarray_like

The response variable.

exogarray_like or None

This explanatory variables are treated as linear. The model in this case is a partial linear model.

smootherinstance of additive smoother class

Examples of smoother instances include Bsplines or CyclicCubicSplines.

alphafloat or list of floats

Penalization weights for smooth terms. The length of the list needs to be the same as the number of smooth terms in the smoother.

familyinstance of GLM family

See GLM.

offsetNone or array_like

See GLM.

exposureNone or array_like

See GLM.

missing‘none’

Missing value handling is not supported in this class.

**kwargs

Extra keywords are used in call to the super classes.

Attributes:¶

endog_names

Names of endogenous variables.

exog_names

Names of exogenous variables.

exposure_name

Name of the exposure variable if available.

freq_weights_name

Name of the freq weights variable if available.

offset_name

Name of the offset variable if available.

var_weights_name

Name of var weights variable if available.

Notes

Status: experimental. This has full unit test coverage for the core results with Gaussian and Poisson (without offset and exposure). Other options and additional results might not be correctly supported yet. (Binomial with counts, i.e. with n_trials, is most likely wrong in pirls. User specified var or freq weights are most likely also not correct for all results.)
