Anova test for GLM in python

问题

I am trying to get the F-statistic and p-value for each of the covariates in GLM. In Python I am using the stats mode.formula.api to conduct the GLM.

formula = 'PropNo_Pred ~ Geography + log10BMI + Cat_OpCavity + CatLes_neles + CatRural_urban + \
        CatPred_Control + CatNative_Intro + Midpoint_of_study'

mod1 = smf.glm(formula=formula, data=A2, family=sm.families.Binomial()).fit()
mod1.summary()

After that I am trying to do the ANOVA test for this model using the anova in statsmodels.stats

table1 = anova_lm(mod3)
print table1

However I am getting an error saying: 'GLMResults' object has no attribute 'ssr'

Looks like this anova_lm function only applies to linear model is there a module in python that does anova test for GLMs?

回答1:

There isn't, unfortunately. However, you can roll your own by using the model's hypothesis testing methods on each of the terms. In fact, some of their ANOVA methods do not even use the attribute ssr (which is the model's sum of squared residuals, thus obviously undefined for a binomial GLM). You could probably modify this code to do a GLM ANOVA.

Here is my attempt to roll your own.

The F-statistic for nested models is defined as:

(D_s - D_b ) / (addtl_parameters * phi_b)

Where:

D_s is deviance of small model
D_b is deviance of larger ("big)" model
addtl_parameters is the difference in degrees of freedom between models.
phi_b is the estimate of dispersion parameter for the larger model'

"Statistical theory says that the F-statistic follows an F distribution, with a numerator degrees of freedom equal to the number of added parameters and a denominator degrees of freedom equal to n - p_b, or the number of records minus the number of parameters in the big model."

We translate this into code with:

from scipy import stats

def calculate_nested_f_statistic(small_model, big_model):
    """Given two fitted GLMs, the larger of which contains the parameter space of the smaller, return the F Stat and P value corresponding to the larger model adding explanatory power"""
    addtl_params = big_model.df_model - small_model.df_model
    f_stat = (small_model.deviance - big_model.deviance) / (addtl_params * big_model.scale)
    df_numerator = addtl_params
    # use fitted values to obtain n_obs from model object:
    df_denom = (big_model.fittedvalues.shape[0] - big_model.df_model)
    p_value = stats.f.sf(f_stat, df_numerator, df_denom)
    return (f_stat, p_value)

Here is a reproducible example, following the gamma GLM example in statsmodels (https://www.statsmodels.org/stable/glm.html):

import numpy as np
import statsmodels.api as sm
data2 = sm.datasets.scotland.load()
data2.exog = sm.add_constant(data2.exog, prepend=False)

big_model = sm.GLM(data2.endog, data2.exog, family=sm.families.Gamma()).fit()
# Drop one covariate (column):
smaller_model = sm.GLM(data2.endog, data2.exog[:, 1:], family=sm.families.Gamma()).fit()

# Using function defined in answer:
calculate_nested_f_statistic(smaller_model, big_model)
# (9.519052917304652, 0.004914748992474178)
