Notes

This class relies on a linear model result structure and analyses the results.

By default, on graphs, labels of the 3 most significant points are displayed. This number can be changed by modifying the ResourceMap key (LinearModelAnalysis-IdentifiersNumber).

The class has a pretty-print method which is triggered by the print() function. This prints the following results, where we focus on the properties of a satisfactory regression model.

  • Each row of the table of coefficients tests if one single coefficient is zero. For a single coefficient, if the p-value of the T-test is close to zero, we can reject the hypothesis that this coefficient is zero.

  • The R2 score measures how the predicted output values are close to the observed values. If the R2 is close to 1 (e.g. larger than 0.95), then the predictions are accurate on average. Furthermore, the adjusted R2 value takes into account the data set size and the number of hyperparameters.

  • The F-test tests if all the coefficients are simultaneously zero. If the p-value is close to zero, then we can reject this hypothesis: there is at least one nonzero coefficient.

  • The normality test checks that the residuals have a normal distribution. The normality assumption can be accepted (or, more precisely, cannot be rejected) if the p-value is larger than a threshold (e.g. 0.05).

The essentials of regression theory are presented in Regression analysis. The goodness of fit tests for normality are presented in Graphical goodness-of-fit tests, Chi-squared test, The Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit test for continuous data, Cramer-Von Mises test and Anderson-Darling test.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> distribution = ot.Normal()
>>> Xsample = distribution.getSample(30)
>>> func = ot.SymbolicFunction(['x'], ['2 * x + 1'])
>>> Ysample = func(Xsample) + ot.Normal().getSample(30)
>>> algo = ot.LinearModelAlgorithm(Ysample, Xsample)
>>> result = algo.getResult()
>>> analysis = ot.LinearModelAnalysis(result)
>>> # print(analysis)  # Pretty-print

getName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns:

The name of the object.

getNormalityTestCramerVonMises()

Performs Cramer-Von Mises test.

The statistical test checks the Gaussian assumption of the model (null hypothesis).

Returns:
testResultTestResult

Test result class.

Notes

We check that the residual is Gaussian thanks to CramerVonMisesNormal().

getNormalityTestResultAndersonDarling()

Performs Anderson-Darling test. The statistical test checks the Gaussian assumption of the residuals.

Returns:
testResultTestResult

Test result class.

Notes

We check that the residual is Gaussian thanks to AndersonDarlingNormal().

getNormalityTestResultChiSquared()

Performs Chi-Square test. The statistical test checks the Gaussian assumption of the residuals.

Returns:
testResultTestResult

Test result class.

Notes

The Chi-Square test is a goodness of fit test which objective is to check the normality assumption (null hypothesis) of residuals (and thus the model).

Usually, Chi-Square test applies for discrete distributions. Here we rely on the ChiSquared() to check the normality.

getNormalityTestResultKolmogorovSmirnov()

Performs Kolmogorov test.

Performs Kolmogorov test to check Gaussian assumption of the residuals.

Returns:
testResultTestResult

Test result class.

Notes

We check that the residual is Gaussian thanks to Kolmogorov().

getResidualsStandardError()

Accessor to the standard error of the residuals.

Returns:
stdErrorfloat

This is the unbiased estimator \hat{\sigma} of the standard deviation of the Gaussian observation error of the observed output.

Notes

The standard error of the residuals is the root mean squared error (also called standard error of regression), estimated as:

\widehat{\sigma} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{\operatorname{dof}} SSE}

where \operatorname{dof} is the number of degrees of freedom and SSE is the sum of squared errors:

SSE = \sum_{i = 1}^n (y_i - \widehat{y}_i)^2

where \{y_i\}_{i = 1, ..., n} are the observations and \{\widehat{y}_i\}_{i = 1, ..., n} are the predictions from the linear model.

hasName()

Test if the object is named.

Returns:
hasNamebool

True if the name is not empty.

setName(name)

Accessor to the object’s name.

Parameters:
namestr

The name of the object.
