linearModelResultLinearModelResult

A linear model. If not provided, it is built using the given samples.

levelpositive float < 1

Threshold p-value of the test (= first kind risk), it must be < 1, equal to 0.05 by default.

breakPointpositive float < 1

Percentage of data to be taken as breakPoint in the variances. It must be < 1, equal to 0.5 by default.

simulationSizepositive int

Size of the sample used to compute the p-value. Default is 1000.

Returns
testResultTestResult

Structure containing the result of the test.

Notes

The LinearModelTest class is used through its static methods in order to evaluate the quality of the linear regression model between two samples. The linear regression model between the scalar variable Y and the n-dimensional one \vect{X} = (X_i)_{i \leq n} is as follows:

\tilde{Y} = a_0 + \sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i + \epsilon

where \epsilon is the residual.

The Harrison-McCabe test checks the heteroskedasticity of the residuals. The breakpoint in the variances is set by default to the half of the sample. The p-value is estimed using simulation. If the binary quality measure is false, then the homoskedasticity hypothesis can be rejected with respect to the given level.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> distribution = ot.Normal()
>>> sample = distribution.getSample(30)
>>> func = ot.SymbolicFunction('x', '2 * x + 1')
>>> firstSample = sample
>>> secondSample = func(sample) + ot.Normal().getSample(30)
>>> test_result = ot.LinearModelTest.LinearModelHarrisonMcCabe(firstSample, secondSample)
>>> print(test_result)
