GLM.estimate_tweedie_power(mu, method='brentq', low=1.01, high=5.0)[source]#

Tweedie specific function to estimate scale and the variance parameter. The variance parameter is also referred to as p, xi, or shape.

Parameters:
muarray_like

Fitted mean response variable

methodstr, optional

Scipy optimizer used to solve the Pearson equation. Only brentq currently supported. The default is ‘brentq’.

lowfloat, optional

Low end of the bracketing interval [a,b] to be used in the search for the power. Defaults to 1.01.

highfloat, optional

High end of the bracketing interval [a,b] to be used in the search for the power. Defaults to 5.

Returns:
powerfloat

The estimated shape or power.
