NominalGEE.mean_deriv_exog(exog, params, offset_exposure=None)[source]¶

Derivative of the expected endog with respect to exog for the multinomial model, used in analyzing marginal effects.

Parameters:¶

exog : array_like¶

The exogeneous data at which the derivative is computed, number of rows must be a multiple of ncut.

lpr : array_like

The linear predictor values, length must be multiple of ncut.

Returns:¶

• The value of the derivative of the expected endog with respect

• to exog.

Notes

offset_exposure must be set at None for the multinomial family.
