statsmodels.othermod.betareg.BetaResults.t_test

BetaResults.t_test(r_matrix, cov_p=None, use_t=None)

Compute a t-test for a each linear hypothesis of the form Rb = q.

Parameters:
r_matrix{array_like, str, tuple}

One of:

  • array : If an array is given, a p x k 2d array or length k 1d array specifying the linear restrictions. It is assumed that the linear combination is equal to zero.

  • str : The full hypotheses to test can be given as a string. See the examples.

  • tuple : A tuple of arrays in the form (R, q). If q is given, can be either a scalar or a length p row vector.

cov_parray_like, optional

An alternative estimate for the parameter covariance matrix. If None is given, self.normalized_cov_params is used.

use_tbool, optional

If use_t is None, then the default of the model is used. If use_t is True, then the p-values are based on the t distribution. If use_t is False, then the p-values are based on the normal distribution.

Returns:
ContrastResults

The results for the test are attributes of this results instance. The available results have the same elements as the parameter table in summary().

tvalues

Individual t statistics for the estimated parameters.

f_test

Perform an F tests on model parameters.

patsy.DesignInfo.linear_constraint

Specify a linear constraint.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import statsmodels.api as sm
>>> data = sm.datasets.longley.load()
>>> data.exog = sm.add_constant(data.exog)
>>> results = sm.OLS(data.endog, data.exog).fit()
>>> r = np.zeros_like(results.params)
>>> r[5:] = [1,-1]
>>> print(r)
[ 0.  0.  0.  0.  0.  1. -1.]

r tests that the coefficients on the 5th and 6th independent variable are the same.

>>> T_test = results.t_test(r)
>>> print(T_test)

Alternatively, you can specify the hypothesis tests using a string

>>> from statsmodels.formula.api import ols
>>> dta = sm.datasets.longley.load_pandas().data
>>> formula = 'TOTEMP ~ GNPDEFL + GNP + UNEMP + ARMED + POP + YEAR'
>>> results = ols(formula, dta).fit()
>>> hypotheses = 'GNPDEFL = GNP, UNEMP = 2, YEAR/1829 = 1'
>>> t_test = results.t_test(hypotheses)
>>> print(t_test)
                             Test for Constraints
