Tweedie.loglike_obs(endog, mu, var_weights=1.0, scale=1.0)

The log-likelihood function for each observation in terms of the fitted mean response for the Tweedie distribution.

Parameters:

endogndarray

Usually the endogenous response variable.

mundarray

Usually but not always the fitted mean response variable.

var_weightsarray_like

1d array of variance (analytic) weights. The default is 1.

scalefloat

The scale parameter. The default is 1.

Returns:

ll_ifloat

The value of the loglikelihood evaluated at (endog, mu, var_weights, scale) as defined below.

Notes

If eql is True, the Extended Quasi-Likelihood is used. At present, this method returns NaN if eql is False. When the actual likelihood is implemented, it will be accessible by setting eql to False.
