statsmodels.genmod.generalized_estimating_equations.GEE.estimate_tweedie_power¶
- GEE.estimate_tweedie_power(mu, method='brentq', low=1.01, high=5.0)¶
Tweedie specific function to estimate scale and the variance parameter. The variance parameter is also referred to as p, xi, or shape.
- Parameters:
mu (array_like) – Fitted mean response variable
method (str, defaults to 'brentq') – Scipy optimizer used to solve the Pearson equation. Only brentq currently supported.
low (float, optional) – Low end of the bracketing interval [a,b] to be used in the search for the power. Defaults to 1.01.
high (float, optional) – High end of the bracketing interval [a,b] to be used in the search for the power. Defaults to 5.
- Returns:
power – The estimated shape or power.
- Return type:
