3.1.6.4. Simple Regression

Fit a simple linear regression using ‘statsmodels’, compute corresponding p-values.

# Original author: Thomas Haslwanter
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas
# For statistics. Requires statsmodels 5.0 or more
from statsmodels.formula.api import ols
# Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) on linear models
from statsmodels.stats.anova import anova_lm

Generate and show the data

x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 20)
# To get reproducable values, provide a seed value
np.random.seed(1)
y = -5 + 3*x + 4 * np.random.normal(size=x.shape)
# Plot the data
plt.figure(figsize=(5, 4))
plt.plot(x, y, 'o')

Multilinear regression model, calculating fit, P-values, confidence intervals etc.

# Convert the data into a Pandas DataFrame to use the formulas framework
# in statsmodels
data = pandas.DataFrame({'x': x, 'y': y})
# Fit the model
model = ols("y ~ x", data).fit()
# Print the summary
print(model.summary())
# Peform analysis of variance on fitted linear model
anova_results = anova_lm(model)
print('\nANOVA results')
print(anova_results)
