multiple_inference.significance_condition#

Inference for parameters that achieve statistical significance.

Classes

SignificanceCondition(*args, **kwargs)

Significance condition quantile-unbiased estimator.

SignificanceConditionResults(*args[, ...])

Quantile-unbiased results.
class multiple_inference.significance_condition.SignificanceCondition(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)[source]#

Significance condition quantile-unbiased estimator.

Subclasses multiple_inference.base.ModelBase.

Examples

Get a quantile-unbiased distribution for x3.

import numpy as np
from multiple_inference.significance_condition import SignificanceCondition

model = SignificanceCondition(np.arange(4), np.identity(4))
dist = model.get_marginal_distribution("x3")
print(dist.ppf([.025, .5, .975]))

[-0.33936473  1.86862792  4.79906012]

Display the results.

results = model.fit()
print(results.summary(columns=["x3"]))

get_marginal_distribution(column: Union[str, int], alpha: float = 0.05, **kwargs: Any) → quantile_unbiased[source]#

Get the marginal quantile-unbiased distribution.

The distribution is quantile-unbiased conditional on the parameter being statistically significant at level alpha.

Parameters

  • column (ColumnType) – Selected column.

  • alpha (float, optional) – Significance level. Defaults to .05.

Returns

Quantile-unbiased distribution.

Return type

quantile_unbiased
