statsmodels.discrete.discrete_model.MultinomialResults.t_test_pairwise

method

MultinomialResults.t_test_pairwise(term_name, method='hs', alpha=0.05, factor_labels=None)

perform pairwise t_test with multiple testing corrected p-values

This uses the formula design_info encoding contrast matrix and should work for all encodings of a main effect.

Parameters

resultresult instance

The results of an estimated model with a categorical main effect.

term_namestr

name of the term for which pairwise comparisons are computed. Term names for categorical effects are created by patsy and correspond to the main part of the exog names.

methodstr or list of strings

multiple testing p-value correction, default is ‘hs’, see stats.multipletesting

alphafloat

significance level for multiple testing reject decision.

factor_labelsNone, list of str

Labels for the factor levels used for pairwise labels. If not provided, then the labels from the formula design_info are used.

Returns

resultsinstance of a simple Results class

The results are stored as attributes, the main attributes are the following two. Other attributes are added for debugging purposes or as background information.

• result_frame : pandas DataFrame with t_test results and multiple testing corrected p-values.

• contrasts : matrix of constraints of the null hypothesis in the t_test.

Notes

Status: experimental. Currently only checked for treatment coding with and without specified reference level.

Currently there are no multiple testing corrected confidence intervals available.

Examples

>>> res = ols("np.log(Days+1) ~ C(Weight) + C(Duration)", data).fit()
>>> pw = res.t_test_pairwise("C(Weight)")
>>> pw.result_frame
