.. currentmodule:: statsmodels.discrete.discrete_model .. _discretemod: Regression with Discrete Dependent Variable =========================================== Regression models for limited and qualitative dependent variables. The module currently allows the estimation of models with binary (Logit, Probit), nominal (MNLogit), or count (Poisson) data. See `Module Reference`_ for commands and arguments. Examples -------- :: # Load the data from Spector and Mazzeo (1980) spector_data = sm.datasets.spector.load() spector_data.exog = sm.add_constant(spector_data.exog) # Logit Model logit_mod = sm.Logit(spector_data.endog, spector_data.exog) logit_res = logit_mod.fit() print(logit_res.summary()) Detailed examples can be found here: .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 examples/notebooks/generated/discrete_choice_overview examples/notebooks/generated/discrete_choice_example Technical Documentation ----------------------- Currently all models are estimated by Maximum Likelihood and assume independently and identically distributed errors. All discrete regression models define the same methods and follow the same structure, which is similar to the regression results but with some methods specific to discrete models. Additionally some of them contain additional model specific methods and attributes. References ^^^^^^^^^^ General references for this class of models are:: A.C. Cameron and P.K.

The estimation results are returned as an instance of one of the subclasses of :class:`DiscreteResults`. Each category of models, binary, count and multinomial, have their own intermediate level of model and results classes. This intermediate classes are mostly to facilitate the implementation of the methods and attributes defined by :class:`DiscreteModel` and :class:`DiscreteResults`. .. autosummary:: :toctree: generated/ DiscreteModel DiscreteResults BinaryModel BinaryResults CountModel MultinomialModel
