fitted(lin_pred)	Fitted values based on linear predictors lin_pred.
loglike(endog, mu[, var_weights, …])	The log-likelihood function in terms of the fitted mean response.
loglike_obs(endog, mu[, var_weights, scale])	The log-likelihood function for each observation in terms of the fitted mean response for the Poisson distribution.
predict(mu)	Linear predictors based on given mu values.
resid_anscombe(endog, mu[, var_weights, scale])	The Anscombe residuals
resid_dev(endog, mu[, var_weights, scale])	The deviance residuals
starting_mu(y)	Starting value for mu in the IRLS algorithm.
variance
weights(mu)	Weights for IRLS steps
