8.12.8. nilearn.glm.SimpleRegressionResults

class nilearn.glm.SimpleRegressionResults(results)

This class contains only information of the model fit necessary for contast computation.

Its intended to save memory when details of the model are unnecessary.

__init__(results)

See LikelihoodModelResults constructor.

The only difference is that the whitened Y and residual values are stored for a regression model.

Fcontrast(matrix, dispersion=None, invcov=None)

Compute an Fcontrast for a contrast matrix matrix.

Here, matrix M is assumed to be non-singular. More precisely

is assumed invertible. Here, is the generalized inverse of the design matrix of the model. There can be problems in non-OLS models where the rank of the covariance of the noise is not full.

See the contrast module to see how to specify contrasts. In particular, the matrices from these contrasts will always be non-singular in the sense above.

Parameters:

matrix : 1D array-like

contrast matrix

dispersion : None or float, optional

If None, use self.dispersion

invcov : None or array, optional

Known inverse of variance covariance matrix. If None, calculate this matrix.

Returns:

f_res : FContrastResults instance

with attributes F, df_den, df_num

Notes

For F contrasts, we now specify an effect and covariance

Tcontrast(matrix, store=('t', 'effect', 'sd'), dispersion=None)

Compute a Tcontrast for a row vector matrix

To get the t-statistic for a single column, use the ‘t’ method.

Parameters:

matrix : 1D array-like

contrast matrix

store : sequence, optional

components of t to store in results output object. Defaults to all components (‘t’, ‘effect’, ‘sd’).

dispersion : None or float, optional

Returns:

res : TContrastResults object

conf_int(alpha=0.05, cols=None, dispersion=None)

The confidence interval of the specified theta estimates.

Parameters:

alpha : float, optional

The alpha level for the confidence interval. ie., alpha = .05 returns a 95% confidence interval.

cols : tuple, optional

cols specifies which confidence intervals to return

dispersion : None or scalar

scale factor for the variance / covariance (see class docstring and vcov method docstring)

Returns:

cis : ndarray

cis is shape (len(cols), 2) where each row contains [lower, upper] for the given entry in cols

Notes

Confidence intervals are two-tailed.

tails : string, optional

Possible values: ‘two’ | ‘upper’ | ‘lower’

Examples

>>> from numpy.random import standard_normal as stan
>>> from nilearn.glm import OLSModel
>>> x = np.hstack((stan((30,1)),stan((30,1)),stan((30,1))))
>>> beta=np.array([3.25, 1.5, 7.0])
>>> y = np.dot(x,beta) + stan((30))
>>> model = OLSModel(x).fit(y)
>>> confidence_intervals = model.conf_int(cols=(1,2))

df_resid()

logL(Y)

The maximized log-likelihood

norm_resid(Y)

normalized_residuals(Y)

Residuals, normalized to have unit length.

Notes

Is this supposed to return “stanardized residuals,” residuals standardized to have mean zero and approximately unit variance?

d_i = e_i / sqrt(MS_E)

Where MS_E = SSE / (n - k)

See: Montgomery and Peck 3.2.1 p. 68

Davidson and MacKinnon 15.2 p 662

predicted()

Return linear predictor values from a design matrix.

resid(Y)

residuals(Y)

Residuals from the fit.

t(column=None)

Return the (Wald) t-statistic for a given parameter estimate.

Use Tcontrast for more complicated (Wald) t-statistics.

vcov(matrix=None, column=None, dispersion=None, other=None)

Variance/covariance matrix of linear contrast

Parameters:

matrix: (dim, self.theta.shape[0]) array, optional

numerical contrast specification, where dim refers to the ‘dimension’ of the contrast i.e. 1 for t contrasts, 1 or more for F contrasts.

column: int, optional

alternative way of specifying contrasts (column index)

dispersion: float or (n_voxels,) array, optional

value(s) for the dispersion parameters

other: (dim, self.theta.shape[0]) array, optional

alternative contrast specification (?)

Returns:

cov: (dim, dim) or (n_voxels, dim, dim) array

the estimated covariance matrix/matrices

Returns the variance/covariance matrix of a linear contrast of the

estimates of theta, multiplied by dispersion which will often be an

estimate of dispersion, like, sigma^2.

The covariance of interest is either specified as a (set of) column(s)

or a matrix.
