statsmodels.regression.mixed_linear_model.MixedLM.hessian

MixedLM.hessian(params)[source]

Returns the model’s Hessian matrix.

Calculates the Hessian matrix for the linear mixed effects model with respect to the parameterization in which the covariance matrix is represented directly (without square-root transformation).

Parameters:
paramsMixedLMParams or array_like

The model parameters at which the Hessian is calculated. If array-like, must contain the packed parameters in a form that is compatible with this model instance.

Returns:
hess2d ndarray

The Hessian matrix, evaluated at params.

singbool

If True, the covariance matrix is singular and a pseudo-inverse is returned.
