Family.resid_anscombe(endog, mu, var_weights=1.0, scale=1.0)[source]¶

The Anscombe residuals

Parameters:¶

endogndarray

The endogenous response variable

mundarray

The inverse of the link function at the linear predicted values.

var_weightsarray_like

1d array of variance (analytic) weights. The default is 1.

scalefloat, optional

An optional argument to divide the residuals by sqrt(scale). The default is 1.

Notes

Anscombe residuals are defined by

\[resid\_anscombe_i = \frac{A(y)-A(\mu)}{A'(\mu)\sqrt{Var[\mu]}} * \sqrt(var\_weights)\]

where \(A'(y)=v(y)^{-\frac{1}{3}}\) and \(v(\mu)\) is the variance function \(Var[y]=\frac{\phi}{w}v(mu)\). The transformation \(A(y)\) makes the residuals more normal distributed.
