The "correct" model here is likely the Tobit model. We have an work in progress branch "tobit-model" on github, if anyone is interested in censored regression models.

Compare the estimates of the Logit Fair model above to a Probit model. Does the prediction table look better? Much difference in marginal effects?

by the the Stanford 9 test on a variety of subjects.  This dataset is at

Again, predict expects a DataFrame since patsy is used to select columns.

In [36]:
resp25 = glm_mod.predict(pd.DataFrame(means25).T)
resp75 = glm_mod.predict(pd.DataFrame(means75).T)
diff = resp75 - resp25

The interquartile first difference for the percentage of low income households in a school district is:

In [37]:
print("%2.4f%%" % (diff[0]*100))
-11.8863%
In [38]:
nobs = glm_mod.nobs
y = glm_mod.model.endog
yhat = glm_mod.mu
In [39]:
from statsmodels.graphics.api import abline_plot
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12,8))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, ylabel='Observed Values', xlabel='Fitted Values')
ax.scatter(yhat, y)
y_vs_yhat = sm.OLS(y, sm.add_constant(yhat, prepend=True)).fit()
fig = abline_plot(model_results=y_vs_yhat, ax=ax)

Plot fitted values vs Pearson residuals

Pearson residuals are defined to be

$$\frac{(y - \mu)}{\sqrt{(var(\mu))}}$$

where var is typically determined by the family. E.g., binomial variance is $np(1 - p)$

In [40]:
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12,8))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, title='Residual Dependence Plot', xlabel='Fitted Values',
                          ylabel='Pearson Residuals')
ax.scatter(yhat, stats.zscore(glm_mod.resid_pearson))
ax.axis('tight')
ax.plot([0.0, 1.0],[0.0, 0.0], 'k-');

Histogram of standardized deviance residuals with Kernel Density Estimate overlayed

The definition of the deviance residuals depends on the family. For the Binomial distribution this is

$$r_{dev} = sign\left(Y-\mu\right)*\sqrt{2n(Y\log\frac{Y}{\mu}+(1-Y)\log\frac{(1-Y)}{(1-\mu)}}$$

They can be used to detect ill-fitting covariates

In [41]:
resid = glm_mod.resid_deviance
resid_std = stats.zscore(resid) 
kde_resid = sm.nonparametric.KDEUnivariate(resid_std)
kde_resid.fit()
In [42]:
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12,8))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, title="Standardized Deviance Residuals")
ax.hist(resid_std, bins=25, normed=True);
ax.plot(kde_resid.support, kde_resid.density, 'r');
