Print OLS regression summary to text file

Question

I am running OLS regression using pandas.stats.api.ols using a groupby with the following code:

from pandas.stats.api import ols
df=pd.         


        

Answer 1

In order to write out the result of pandas.stats.api.ols, use a text file to match the output format, for instance:

from pandas.stats.api import ols
grps = df.groupby(['FID'])
for fid, grp in grps:
    result = ols(y=grp.loc[:, 'MEAN'], x=grp.loc[:, ['Accum_Prcp', 'Accum_HDD']])

    text_file = open("Output {}.txt".format(fid), "w")
    text_file.write(result.summary)
    text_file.close()

Answer 2

As of statsmodels 0.9, the Summary class supports export to multiple formats, including CSV and text:

import numpy as np
import statsmodels.api as sm
import statsmodels.formula.api as smf

dat = sm.datasets.get_rdataset("Guerry", "HistData").data
results = smf.ols('Lottery ~ Literacy + np.log(Pop1831)', data=dat).fit()

with open('summary.txt', 'w') as fh:
    fh.write(results.summary().as_text())

with open('summary.csv', 'w') as fh:
    fh.write(results.summary().as_csv())

The output of as_csv() is not machine-readable. Dumping results parameters with repr() would be.
