Calculate confidence band of least-square fit

Question

I got a question that I fight around for days with now.

How do I calculate the (95%) confidence band of a fit?

Answer 1

You can achieve this easily using StatsModels module.

Also see this example and this answer.

Here is an answer for your question:

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

import statsmodels.api as sm
from statsmodels.stats.outliers_influence import summary_table

x = np.linspace(0,10)
y = 3*np.random.randn(50) + x
X = sm.add_constant(x)
res = sm.OLS(y, X).fit()

st, data, ss2 = summary_table(res, alpha=0.05)
fittedvalues = data[:,2]
predict_mean_se  = data[:,3]
predict_mean_ci_low, predict_mean_ci_upp = data[:,4:6].T
predict_ci_low, predict_ci_upp = data[:,6:8].T

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8,6))
ax.plot(x, y, 'o', label="data")
ax.plot(X, fittedvalues, 'r-', label='OLS')
ax.plot(X, predict_ci_low, 'b--')
ax.plot(X, predict_ci_upp, 'b--')
ax.plot(X, predict_mean_ci_low, 'g--')
ax.plot(X, predict_mean_ci_upp, 'g--')
ax.legend(loc='best');
plt.show()
