class statsmodels.regression.process_regression.ProcessMLE(endog, exog, exog_scale, exog_smooth, exog_noise, time, groups, cov=None, **kwargs)[source]

Fit a Gaussian mean/variance regression model.

This class fits a one-dimensional Gaussian process model with parametrized mean and covariance structures to grouped data. For each group, there is an independent realization of a latent Gaussian process indexed by an observed real-valued time variable.. The data consist of the Gaussian process observed at a finite number of time values.

The process mean and variance can be lined to covariates. The mean structure is linear in the covariates. The covariance structure is non-stationary, and is defined parametrically through ‘scaling’, and ‘smoothing’ parameters. The covariance of the process between two observations in the same group is a function of the distance between the time values of the two observations. The scaling and smoothing parameters can be linked to covariates.

The observed data are modeled as the sum of the Gaussian process realization and (optionally) independent white noise. The standard deviation of the white noise can be linked to covariates.

The data should be provided in ‘long form’, with a group label to indicate which observations belong to the same group. Observations in different groups are always independent.

Parameters:
endogarray_like

The dependent variable.

exogarray_like

The design matrix for the mean structure

exog_scalearray_like

The design matrix for the scaling structure

exog_smootharray_like

The design matrix for the smoothness structure

exog_noisearray_like

The design matrix for the additive white noise. The linear predictor is the log of the white noise standard deviation. If None, there is no additive noise (the process is observed directly).

timearray_like (1-dimensional)

The univariate index values, used to calculate distances between observations in the same group, which determines their correlations.

groupsarray_like (1-dimensional)

The group values.

cova ProcessCovariance instance

Defaults to GaussianCovariance.

Attributes:
endog_names

Names of endogenous variables.

exog_names
