statsmodels.genmod.families.family.Tweedie

class statsmodels.genmod.families.family.Tweedie(link=None, var_power=1.0, eql=False)

Tweedie family.

Parameters:

linka link instance, optional

The default link for the Tweedie family is the log link. Available links are log, Power and any aliases of power. See statsmodels.genmod.families.links for more information.

var_powerfloat, optional

The variance power. The default is 1.

eqlbool

If True, the Extended Quasi-Likelihood is used, else the likelihood is used (however the latter is not implemented). If eql is True, var_power must be between 1 and 2.

Link Functions

Notes

Loglikelihood function not implemented because of the complexity of calculating an infinite series of summations. The variance power can be estimated using the estimate_tweedie_power function that is part of the statsmodels.genmod.generalized_linear_model.GLM class.

Attributes:

Tweedie.linka link instance

The link function of the Tweedie instance

Tweedie.variancevarfunc instance

variance is an instance of statsmodels.genmod.families.varfuncs.Power

Tweedie.var_powerfloat

The power parameter of the variance function.
