statsmodels.genmod.families.family.Poisson.loglike_obs

Poisson.loglike_obs(endog, mu, var_weights=1.0, scale=1.0)

The log-likelihood function for each observation in terms of the fitted mean response for the Poisson distribution.

Parameters

endogndarray

Usually the endogenous response variable.

mundarray

Usually but not always the fitted mean response variable.

var_weightsarray_like

1d array of variance (analytic) weights. The default is 1.

scalefloat

The scale parameter. The default is 1.

Returns

ll_ifloat

The value of the loglikelihood evaluated at (endog, mu, var_weights, scale) as defined below.

Notes

\[ll_i = var\_weights_i / scale * (endog_i * \ln(\mu_i) - \mu_i - \ln \Gamma(endog_i + 1))\]
