statsmodels.base.model.GenericLikelihoodModel¶
- class statsmodels.base.model.GenericLikelihoodModel(endog, exog=None, loglike=None, score=None, hessian=None, missing='none', extra_params_names=None, **kwds)[source]¶
Allows the fitting of any likelihood function via maximum likelihood.
A subclass needs to specify at least the log-likelihood If the log-likelihood is specified for each observation, then results that require the Jacobian will be available. (The other case is not tested yet.)
Notes
Optimization methods that require only a likelihood function are ‘nm’ and ‘powell’
Optimization methods that require a likelihood function and a score/gradient are ‘bfgs’, ‘cg’, and ‘ncg’. A function to compute the Hessian is optional for ‘ncg’.
Optimization method that require a likelihood function, a score/gradient, and a Hessian is ‘newton’
If they are not overwritten by a subclass, then numerical gradient, Jacobian and Hessian of the log-likelihood are calculated by numerical forward differentiation. This might results in some cases in precision problems, and the Hessian might not be positive definite. Even if the Hessian is not positive definite the covariance matrix of the parameter estimates based on the outer product of the Jacobian might still be valid.
