statsmodels.genmod.families.family.Tweedie

class statsmodels.genmod.families.family.Tweedie(link=None, var_power=1.0)[source]

Tweedie family.

Parameters:
  • link (a link instance, optional) – The default link for the Tweedie family is the log link. Available links are log and Power. See statsmodels.genmod.families.links for more information.
  • var_power (float, optional) – The variance power. The default is 1.

The link function of the Tweedie instance

Type:a link instance
variance

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

Type:varfunc instance
var_power

The power of the variance function.

Type:float

Notes

Logliklihood 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.
