statsmodels.discrete.discrete_model.BinaryResults.t_test_pairwise

BinaryResults.t_test_pairwise(term_name, method='hs', alpha=0.05, factor_labels=None)

perform pairwise t_test with multiple testing corrected p-values

This uses the formula design_info encoding contrast matrix and should work for all encodings of a main effect.

Parameters:	result (result instance) – The results of an estimated model with a categorical main effect. term_name (str) – name of the term for which pairwise comparisons are computed. Term names for categorical effects are created by patsy and correspond to the main part of the exog names. method (str or list of strings) – multiple testing p-value correction, default is ‘hs’, see stats.multipletesting alpha (float) – significance level for multiple testing reject decision. factor_labels (None, list of str) – Labels for the factor levels used for pairwise labels. If not provided, then the labels from the formula design_info are used.
Returns:	results – The results are stored as attributes, the main attributes are the following two. Other attributes are added for debugging purposes or as background information. result_frame : pandas DataFrame with t_test results and multiple testing corrected p-values. contrasts : matrix of constraints of the null hypothesis in the t_test.
Return type:	instance of a simple Results class

Notes

Status: experimental. Currently only checked for treatment coding with and without specified reference level.

Currently there are no multiple testing corrected confidence intervals available.

Examples

>>> res = ols("np.log(Days+1) ~ C(Weight) + C(Duration)", data).fit()
>>> pw = res.t_test_pairwise("C(Weight)")
>>> pw.result_frame
