statsmodels.regression.linear_model.GLS¶

class statsmodels.regression.linear_model.GLS(endog, exog, sigma=None, missing='none', hasconst=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Generalized Least Squares

Parameters:

endogarray_like: A 1-d endogenous response variable. The dependent variable.
exogarray_like: A nobs x k array where nobs is the number of observations and k is the number of regressors. An intercept is not included by default and should be added by the user. See statsmodels.tools.add_constant.
sigmascalar or array: The array or scalar sigma is the weighting matrix of the covariance. The default is None for no scaling. If sigma is a scalar, it is assumed that sigma is an n x n diagonal matrix with the given scalar, sigma as the value of each diagonal element. If sigma is an n-length vector, then sigma is assumed to be a diagonal matrix with the given sigma on the diagonal. This should be the same as WLS.
missingstr: Available options are ‘none’, ‘drop’, and ‘raise’. If ‘none’, no nan checking is done. If ‘drop’, any observations with nans are dropped. If ‘raise’, an error is raised. Default is ‘none’.
hasconstNone or bool: Indicates whether the RHS includes a user-supplied constant. If True, a constant is not checked for and k_constant is set to 1 and all result statistics are calculated as if a constant is present. If False, a constant is not checked for and k_constant is set to 0.
**kwargs: Extra arguments that are used to set model properties when using the formula interface.

Notes

If sigma is a function of the data making one of the regressors a constant, then the current postestimation statistics will not be correct.

Examples

>>> import statsmodels.api as sm
>>> data = sm.datasets.longley.load()
>>> data.exog = sm.add_constant(data.exog)
>>> ols_resid = sm.OLS(data.endog, data.exog).fit().resid
>>> res_fit = sm.OLS(ols_resid[1:], ols_resid[:-1]).fit()
>>> rho = res_fit.params

rho is a consistent estimator of the correlation of the residuals from an OLS fit of the longley data. It is assumed that this is the true rho of the AR process data.

>>> from scipy.linalg import toeplitz
>>> order = toeplitz(np.arange(16))
>>> sigma = rho**order

sigma is an n x n matrix of the autocorrelation structure of the data.

>>> gls_model = sm.GLS(data.endog, data.exog, sigma=sigma)
>>> gls_results = gls_model.fit()
>>> print(gls_results.summary())
