r"""Fit a discrete or continuous distribution to data
|
|
|
|
Given a distribution, data, and bounds on the parameters of the
|
|
distribution, return maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters.
|
|
|
|
Parameters
|
|
----------
|
|
dist : `scipy.stats.rv_continuous` or `scipy.stats.rv_discrete`
|
|
The object representing the distribution to be fit to the data.
|
|
data : 1D array_like
|
|
The data to which the distribution is to be fit. If the data contain
|
|
any of ``np.nan``, ``np.inf``, or -``np.inf``, the fit method will
|
|
raise a ``ValueError``.
|
|
bounds : dict or sequence of tuples, optional
|
|
If a dictionary, each key is the name of a parameter of the
|
|
distribution, and the corresponding value is a tuple containing the
|
|
lower and upper bound on that parameter. If the distribution is
|
|
defined only for a finite range of values of that parameter, no entry
|
|
for that parameter is required; e.g., some distributions have
|
|
parameters which must be on the interval [0, 1]. Bounds for parameters
|
|
location (``loc``) and scale (``scale``) are optional; by default,
|
|
they are fixed to 0 and 1, respectively.
|
|
|
|
If a sequence, element *i* is a tuple containing the lower and upper
|
|
bound on the *i*\ th parameter of the distribution. In this case,
|
|
bounds for *all* distribution shape parameters must be provided.
|
|
Optionally, bounds for location and scale may follow the
|
|
distribution shape parameters.
|
|
|
|
If a shape is to be held fixed (e.g. if it is known), the
|
|
lower and upper bounds may be equal. If a user-provided lower or upper
|
|
bound is beyond a bound of the domain for which the distribution is
|
|
defined, the bound of the distribution's domain will replace the
|
|
user-provided value. Similarly, parameters which must be integral
|
|
will be constrained to integral values within the user-provided bounds.
|
|
guess : dict or array_like, optional
|
|
If a dictionary, each key is the name of a parameter of the
|
|
distribution, and the corresponding value is a guess for the value
|
|
of the parameter.
|
|
|
|
If a sequence, element *i* is a guess for the *i*\ th parameter of the
|
|
distribution. In this case, guesses for *all* distribution shape
|
|
parameters must be provided.
|
|
|
|
If `guess` is not provided, guesses for the decision variables will
|
|
not be passed to the optimizer. If `guess` is provided, guesses for
|
|
any missing parameters will be set at the mean of the lower and
|
|
upper bounds. Guesses for parameters which must be integral will be
|
|
rounded to integral values, and guesses that lie outside the
|
|
intersection of the user-provided bounds and the domain of the
|
|
distribution will be clipped.
|
|
method : {'mle', 'mse'}
|
|
With ``method="mle"`` (default), the fit is computed by minimizing
|
|
the negative log-likelihood function. A large, finite penalty
|
|
(rather than infinite negative log-likelihood) is applied for
|
|
observations beyond the support of the distribution.
|
|
With ``method="mse"``, the fit is computed by minimizing
|
|
the negative log-product spacing function. The same penalty is applied
|
|
for observations beyond the support. We follow the approach of [1]_,
|
|
which is generalized for samples with repeated observations.
|
|
optimizer : callable, optional
|
|
`optimizer` is a callable that accepts the following positional
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
fun : callable
|
|
The objective function to be optimized. `fun` accepts one argument
|
|
``x``, candidate shape parameters of the distribution, and returns
|
|
the objective function value given ``x``, `dist`, and the provided
|
|
`data`.
|
|
The job of `optimizer` is to find values of the decision variables
|
|
that minimizes `fun`.
|
|
|
|
`optimizer` must also accept the following keyword argument.
|
|
|
|
bounds : sequence of tuples
|
|
The bounds on values of the decision variables; each element will
|
|
be a tuple containing the lower and upper bound on a decision
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
If `guess` is provided, `optimizer` must also accept the following
|
|
keyword argument.
|
|
|
|
x0 : array_like
|
|
The guesses for each decision variable.
|
|
|
|
If the distribution has any shape parameters that must be integral or
|
|
if the distribution is discrete and the location parameter is not
|
|
fixed, `optimizer` must also accept the following keyword argument.
|
|
|
|
integrality : array_like of bools
|
|
For each decision variable, True if the decision variable
|
|
must be constrained to integer values and False if the decision
|
|
variable is continuous.
|
|
|
|
`optimizer` must return an object, such as an instance of
|
|
`scipy.optimize.OptimizeResult`, which holds the optimal values of
|
|
the decision variables in an attribute ``x``. If attributes
|
|
``fun``, ``status``, or ``message`` are provided, they will be
|
|
included in the result object returned by `fit`.
|
|
|
|
Returns
|
|
-------
|
|
result : `~scipy.stats._result_classes.FitResult`
|
|
An object with the following fields.
|
|
|
|
params : namedtuple
|
|
A namedtuple containing the maximum likelihood estimates of the
|
|
shape parameters, location, and (if applicable) scale of the
|
|
distribution.
|
|
success : bool or None
|
|
Whether the optimizer considered the optimization to terminate
|
|
successfully or not.
|
|
message : str or None
|
|
Any status message provided by the optimizer.
|
|
|
|
The object has the following method:
|
|
|
|
nllf(params=None, data=None)
|
|
By default, the negative log-likelihood function at the fitted
|
|
`params` for the given `data`. Accepts a tuple containing
|
|
alternative shapes, location, and scale of the distribution and
|
|
an array of alternative data.
|
|
|
|
plot(ax=None)
|
|
Superposes the PDF/PMF of the fitted distribution over a normalized
|
|
histogram of the data.

|

|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
Optimization is more likely to converge to the maximum likelihood estimate
|
|
when the user provides tight bounds containing the maximum likelihood
|
|
estimate. For example, when fitting a binomial distribution to data, the
|
|
number of experiments underlying each sample may be known, in which case
|
|
the corresponding shape parameter ``n`` can be fixed.

Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
Suppose we wish to fit a distribution to the following data.
|
|
|
|
>>> import numpy as np
|
|
>>> from scipy import stats
|
|
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
|
|
>>> dist = stats.nbinom
|
|
>>> shapes = (5, 0.5)
|
|
>>> data = dist.rvs(*shapes, size=1000, random_state=rng)
|
|
|
|
Suppose we do not know how the data were generated, but we suspect that
|
|
it follows a negative binomial distribution with parameters *n* and *p*\.
|
|
(See `scipy.stats.nbinom`.) We believe that the parameter *n* was fewer
|
|
than 30, and we know that the parameter *p* must lie on the interval
|
|
[0, 1]. We record this information in a variable `bounds` and pass
|
|
this information to `fit`.
|
|
|
|
>>> bounds = [(0, 30), (0, 1)]
|
|
>>> res = stats.fit(dist, data, bounds)
|
|
|
|
`fit` searches within the user-specified `bounds` for the
|
|
values that best match the data (in the sense of maximum likelihood
|
|
estimation). In this case, it found shape values similar to those
|
|
from which the data were actually generated.
|
|
|
|
>>> res.params
|
|
FitParams(n=5.0, p=0.5028157644634368, loc=0.0) # may vary
|
|
|
|
We can visualize the results by superposing the probability mass function
|
|
of the distribution (with the shapes fit to the data) over a normalized
|
|
histogram of the data.
|
|
|
|
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # matplotlib must be installed to plot
|
|
>>> res.plot()
|
|
>>> plt.show()
|
|
|
|
Note that the estimate for *n* was exactly integral; this is because
|
|
the domain of the `nbinom` PMF includes only integral *n*, and the `nbinom`
|
|
object "knows" that. `nbinom` also knows that the shape *p* must be a
|
|
value between 0 and 1. In such a case - when the domain of the distribution
|
|
with respect to a parameter is finite - we are not required to specify
|
|
bounds for the parameter.
|
|
|
|
>>> bounds = {'n': (0, 30)} # omit parameter p using a `dict`
|
|
>>> res2 = stats.fit(dist, data, bounds)
|
|
>>> res2.params
|
|
FitParams(n=5.0, p=0.5016492009232932, loc=0.0) # may vary
|
|
|
|
If we wish to force the distribution to be fit with *n* fixed at 6, we can
|
|
set both the lower and upper bounds on *n* to 6. Note, however, that the
|
|
value of the objective function being optimized is typically worse (higher)
|
|
in this case.
|
|
|
|
>>> bounds = {'n': (6, 6)} # fix parameter `n`
|
|
>>> res3 = stats.fit(dist, data, bounds)
|
|
>>> res3.params
|
|
FitParams(n=6.0, p=0.5486556076755706, loc=0.0) # may vary
|
|
>>> res3.nllf() > res.nllf()
|
|
True # may vary
|
|
|
|
Note that the numerical results of the previous examples are typical, but
|
|
they may vary because the default optimizer used by `fit`,
|
|
`scipy.optimize.differential_evolution`, is stochastic. However, we can
|
|
customize the settings used by the optimizer to ensure reproducibility -
|
|
or even use a different optimizer entirely - using the `optimizer`
|
|
parameter.

Perform a goodness of fit test comparing data to a distribution family.
|
|
|
|
Given a distribution family and data, perform a test of the null hypothesis
|
|
that the data were drawn from a distribution in that family. Any known
|
|
parameters of the distribution may be specified. Remaining parameters of
|
|
the distribution will be fit to the data, and the p-value of the test
|
|
is computed accordingly. Several statistics for comparing the distribution
|
|
to data are available.
|
|
|
|
Parameters
|
|
----------
|
|
dist : `scipy.stats.rv_continuous`
|
|
The object representing the distribution family under the null
|
|
hypothesis.
|
|
data : 1D array_like
|
|
Finite, uncensored data to be tested.
|
|
known_params : dict, optional
|
|
A dictionary containing name-value pairs of known distribution
|
|
parameters. Monte Carlo samples are randomly drawn from the
|
|
null-hypothesized distribution with these values of the parameters.
|
|
Before the statistic is evaluated for the observed `data` and each
|
|
Monte Carlo sample, only remaining unknown parameters of the
|
|
null-hypothesized distribution family are fit to the samples; the
|
|
known parameters are held fixed. If all parameters of the distribution
|
|
family are known, then the step of fitting the distribution family to
|
|
each sample is omitted.
|
|
fit_params : dict, optional
|
|
A dictionary containing name-value pairs of distribution parameters
|
|
that have already been fit to the data, e.g. using `scipy.stats.fit`
|
|
or the ``fit`` method of `dist`. Monte Carlo samples are drawn from the
|
|
null-hypothesized distribution with these specified values of the
|
|
parameter. However, these and all other unknown parameters of the
|
|
null-hypothesized distribution family are always fit to the sample,
|
|
whether that is the observed `data` or a Monte Carlo sample, before
|
|
the statistic is evaluated.
|
|
guessed_params : dict, optional
|
|
A dictionary containing name-value pairs of distribution parameters
|
|
which have been guessed. These parameters are always considered as
|
|
free parameters and are fit both to the provided `data` as well as
|
|
to the Monte Carlo samples drawn from the null-hypothesized
|
|
distribution. The purpose of these `guessed_params` is to be used as
|
|
initial values for the numerical fitting procedure.
|
|
statistic : {"ad", "ks", "cvm", "filliben"} or callable, optional
|
|
The statistic used to compare data to a distribution after fitting
|
|
unknown parameters of the distribution family to the data. The
|
|
Anderson-Darling ("ad") [1]_, Kolmogorov-Smirnov ("ks") [1]_,
|
|
Cramer-von Mises ("cvm") [1]_, and Filliben ("filliben") [7]_
|
|
statistics are available. Alternatively, a callable with signature
|
|
``(dist, data, axis)`` may be supplied to compute the statistic. Here
|
|
``dist`` is a frozen distribution object (potentially with array
|
|
parameters), ``data`` is an array of Monte Carlo samples (of
|
|
compatible shape), and ``axis`` is the axis of ``data`` along which
|
|
the statistic must be computed.
|
|
n_mc_samples : int, default: 9999
|
|
The number of Monte Carlo samples drawn from the null hypothesized
|
|
distribution to form the null distribution of the statistic. The
|
|
sample size of each is the same as the given `data`.
|
|
rng : `numpy.random.Generator`, optional
|
|
Pseudorandom number generator state. When `rng` is None, a new
|
|
`numpy.random.Generator` is created using entropy from the
|
|
operating system. Types other than `numpy.random.Generator` are
|
|
passed to `numpy.random.default_rng` to instantiate a ``Generator``.
|
|
|
|
Returns
|
|
-------
|
|
res : GoodnessOfFitResult
|
|
An object with the following attributes.
|
|
|
|
fit_result : `~scipy.stats._result_classes.FitResult`
|
|
An object representing the fit of the provided `dist` to `data`.
|
|
This object includes the values of distribution family parameters
|
|
that fully define the null-hypothesized distribution, that is,
|
|
the distribution from which Monte Carlo samples are drawn.
|
|
statistic : float
|
|
The value of the statistic comparing provided `data` to the
|
|
null-hypothesized distribution.
|
|
pvalue : float
|
|
The proportion of elements in the null distribution with
|
|
statistic values at least as extreme as the statistic value of the
|
|
provided `data`.
|
|
null_distribution : ndarray
|
|
The value of the statistic for each Monte Carlo sample
|
|
drawn from the null-hypothesized distribution.
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
This is a generalized Monte Carlo goodness-of-fit procedure, special cases
|
|
of which correspond with various Anderson-Darling tests, Lilliefors' test,
|
|
etc. The test is described in [2]_, [3]_, and [4]_ as a parametric
|
|
bootstrap test. This is a Monte Carlo test in which parameters that
|
|
specify the distribution from which samples are drawn have been estimated
|
|
from the data. We describe the test using "Monte Carlo" rather than
|
|
"parametric bootstrap" throughout to avoid confusion with the more familiar
|
|
nonparametric bootstrap, and describe how the test is performed below.
|
|
|
|
*Traditional goodness of fit tests*
|
|
|
|
Traditionally, critical values corresponding with a fixed set of
|
|
significance levels are pre-calculated using Monte Carlo methods. Users
|
|
perform the test by calculating the value of the test statistic only for
|
|
their observed `data` and comparing this value to tabulated critical
|
|
values. This practice is not very flexible, as tables are not available for
|
|
all distributions and combinations of known and unknown parameter values.
|
|
Also, results can be inaccurate when critical values are interpolated from
|
|
limited tabulated data to correspond with the user's sample size and
|
|
fitted parameter values. To overcome these shortcomings, this function
|
|
allows the user to perform the Monte Carlo trials adapted to their
|
|
particular data.
|
|
|
|
*Algorithmic overview*
|
|
|
|
In brief, this routine executes the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Fit unknown parameters to the given `data`, thereby forming the
|
|
"null-hypothesized" distribution, and compute the statistic of
|
|
this pair of data and distribution.
|
|
2. Draw random samples from this null-hypothesized distribution.
|
|
3. Fit the unknown parameters to each random sample.
|
|
4. Calculate the statistic between each sample and the distribution that
|
|
has been fit to the sample.
|
|
5. Compare the value of the statistic corresponding with `data` from (1)
|
|
against the values of the statistic corresponding with the random
|
|
samples from (4). The p-value is the proportion of samples with a
|
|
statistic value greater than or equal to the statistic of the observed
|
|
data.
|
|
|
|
In more detail, the steps are as follows.
|
|
|
|
First, any unknown parameters of the distribution family specified by
|
|
`dist` are fit to the provided `data` using maximum likelihood estimation.
|
|
(One exception is the normal distribution with unknown location and scale:
|
|
we use the bias-corrected standard deviation ``np.std(data, ddof=1)`` for
|
|
the scale as recommended in [1]_.)
|
|
These values of the parameters specify a particular member of the
|
|
distribution family referred to as the "null-hypothesized distribution",
|
|
that is, the distribution from which the data were sampled under the null
|
|
hypothesis. The `statistic`, which compares data to a distribution, is
|
|
computed between `data` and the null-hypothesized distribution.
|
|
|
|
Next, many (specifically `n_mc_samples`) new samples, each containing the
|
|
same number of observations as `data`, are drawn from the
|
|
null-hypothesized distribution. All unknown parameters of the distribution
|
|
family `dist` are fit to *each resample*, and the `statistic` is computed
|
|
between each sample and its corresponding fitted distribution. These
|
|
values of the statistic form the Monte Carlo null distribution (not to be
|
|
confused with the "null-hypothesized distribution" above).
|
|
|
|
The p-value of the test is the proportion of statistic values in the Monte
|
|
Carlo null distribution that are at least as extreme as the statistic value
|
|
of the provided `data`. More precisely, the p-value is given by
|
|
|
|
.. math::
|
|
|
|
p = \frac{b + 1}
|
|
{m + 1}
|
|
|
|
where :math:`b` is the number of statistic values in the Monte Carlo null
|
|
distribution that are greater than or equal to the statistic value
|
|
calculated for `data`, and :math:`m` is the number of elements in the
|
|
Monte Carlo null distribution (`n_mc_samples`). The addition of :math:`1`
|
|
to the numerator and denominator can be thought of as including the
|
|
value of the statistic corresponding with `data` in the null distribution,
|
|
but a more formal explanation is given in [5]_.
|
|
|
|
*Limitations*
|
|
|
|
The test can be very slow for some distribution families because unknown
|
|
parameters of the distribution family must be fit to each of the Monte
|
|
Carlo samples, and for most distributions in SciPy, distribution fitting
|
|
performed via numerical optimization.
|
|
|
|
*Anti-Pattern*
|
|
|
|
For this reason, it may be tempting
|
|
to treat parameters of the distribution pre-fit to `data` (by the user)
|
|
as though they were `known_params`, as specification of all parameters of
|
|
the distribution precludes the need to fit the distribution to each Monte
|
|
Carlo sample. (This is essentially how the original Kilmogorov-Smirnov
|
|
test is performed.) Although such a test can provide evidence against the
|
|
null hypothesis, the test is conservative in the sense that small p-values
|
|
will tend to (greatly) *overestimate* the probability of making a type I
|
|
error (that is, rejecting the null hypothesis although it is true), and the
|
|
power of the test is low (that is, it is less likely to reject the null
|
|
hypothesis even when the null hypothesis is false).
|
|
This is because the Monte Carlo samples are less likely to agree with the
|
|
null-hypothesized distribution as well as `data`. This tends to increase
|
|
the values of the statistic recorded in the null distribution, so that a
|
|
larger number of them exceed the value of statistic for `data`, thereby
|
|
inflating the p-value.

Examples

--------
|
|
A well-known test of the null hypothesis that data were drawn from a
|
|
given distribution is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, available in SciPy
|
|
as `scipy.stats.ks_1samp`. Suppose we wish to test whether the following
|
|
data:
|
|
|
|
>>> import numpy as np
|
|
>>> from scipy import stats
|
|
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
|
|
>>> x = stats.uniform.rvs(size=75, random_state=rng)
|
|
|
|
were sampled from a normal distribution. To perform a KS test, the
|
|
empirical distribution function of the observed data will be compared
|
|
against the (theoretical) cumulative distribution function of a normal
|
|
distribution. Of course, to do this, the normal distribution under the null
|
|
hypothesis must be fully specified. This is commonly done by first fitting
|
|
the ``loc`` and ``scale`` parameters of the distribution to the observed
|
|
data, then performing the test.
|
|
|
|
>>> loc, scale = np.mean(x), np.std(x, ddof=1)
|
|
>>> cdf = stats.norm(loc, scale).cdf
|
|
>>> stats.ks_1samp(x, cdf)
|
|
KstestResult(statistic=0.1119257570456813,
|
|
pvalue=0.2827756409939257,
|
|
statistic_location=0.7751845155861765,
|
|
statistic_sign=-1)
|
|
|
|
An advantage of the KS-test is that the p-value - the probability of
|
|
obtaining a value of the test statistic under the null hypothesis as
|
|
extreme as the value obtained from the observed data - can be calculated
|
|
exactly and efficiently. `goodness_of_fit` can only approximate these
|
|
results.
|
|
|
|
>>> known_params = {'loc': loc, 'scale': scale}
|
|
>>> res = stats.goodness_of_fit(stats.norm, x, known_params=known_params,
|
|
... statistic='ks', rng=rng)
|
|
>>> res.statistic, res.pvalue
|
|
(0.1119257570456813, 0.2788)
|
|
|
|
The statistic matches exactly, but the p-value is estimated by forming
|
|
a "Monte Carlo null distribution", that is, by explicitly drawing random
|
|
samples from `scipy.stats.norm` with the provided parameters and
|
|
calculating the stastic for each. The fraction of these statistic values
|
|
at least as extreme as ``res.statistic`` approximates the exact p-value
|
|
calculated by `scipy.stats.ks_1samp`.
|
|
|
|
However, in many cases, we would prefer to test only that the data were
|
|
sampled from one of *any* member of the normal distribution family, not
|
|
specifically from the normal distribution with the location and scale
|
|
fitted to the observed sample. In this case, Lilliefors [6]_ argued that
|
|
the KS test is far too conservative (that is, the p-value overstates
|
|
the actual probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis) and thus lacks
|
|
power - the ability to reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis
|
|
is actually false.
|
|
Indeed, our p-value above is approximately 0.28, which is far too large
|
|
to reject the null hypothesis at any common significance level.
|
|
|
|
Consider why this might be. Note that in the KS test above, the statistic
|
|
always compares data against the CDF of a normal distribution fitted to the
|
|
*observed data*. This tends to reduce the value of the statistic for the
|
|
observed data, but it is "unfair" when computing the statistic for other
|
|
samples, such as those we randomly draw to form the Monte Carlo null
|
|
distribution. It is easy to correct for this: whenever we compute the KS
|
|
statistic of a sample, we use the CDF of a normal distribution fitted
|
|
to *that sample*. The null distribution in this case has not been
|
|
calculated exactly and is tyically approximated using Monte Carlo methods
|
|
as described above. This is where `goodness_of_fit` excels.
|
|
|
|
>>> res = stats.goodness_of_fit(stats.norm, x, statistic='ks',
|
|
... rng=rng)
|
|
>>> res.statistic, res.pvalue
|
|
(0.1119257570456813, 0.0196)
|
|
|
|
Indeed, this p-value is much smaller, and small enough to (correctly)
|
|
reject the null hypothesis at common significance levels, including 5% and
|
|
2.5%.
|
|
|
|
However, the KS statistic is not very sensitive to all deviations from
|
|
normality. The original advantage of the KS statistic was the ability
|
|
to compute the null distribution theoretically, but a more sensitive
|
|
statistic - resulting in a higher test power - can be used now that we can
|
|
approximate the null distribution
|
|
computationally. The Anderson-Darling statistic [1]_ tends to be more
|
|
sensitive, and critical values of the this statistic have been tabulated
|
|
for various significance levels and sample sizes using Monte Carlo methods.
|
|
|
|
>>> res = stats.anderson(x, 'norm')
|
|
>>> print(res.statistic)
|
|
1.2139573337497467
|
|
>>> print(res.critical_values)
|
|
[0.549 0.625 0.75 0.875 1.041]
|
|
>>> print(res.significance_level)
|
|
[15. 10. 5. 2.5 1. ]
|
|
|
|
Here, the observed value of the statistic exceeds the critical value
|
|
corresponding with a 1% significance level. This tells us that the p-value
|
|
of the observed data is less than 1%, but what is it? We could interpolate
|
|
from these (already-interpolated) values, but `goodness_of_fit` can
|
|
estimate it directly.
|
|
|
|
>>> res = stats.goodness_of_fit(stats.norm, x, statistic='ad',
|
|
... rng=rng)
|
|
>>> res.statistic, res.pvalue
|
|
(1.2139573337497467, 0.0034)
|
|
|
|
A further advantage is that use of `goodness_of_fit` is not limited to
|
|
a particular set of distributions or conditions on which parameters
|
|
are known versus which must be estimated from data. Instead,
|
|
`goodness_of_fit` can estimate p-values relatively quickly for any
|
|
distribution with a sufficiently fast and reliable ``fit`` method. For
|
|
instance, here we perform a goodness of fit test using the Cramer-von Mises
|
|
statistic against the Rayleigh distribution with known location and unknown
|
|
scale.
|
|
|
|
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
|
|
>>> x = stats.chi(df=2.2, loc=0, scale=2).rvs(size=1000, random_state=rng)
|
|
>>> res = stats.goodness_of_fit(stats.rayleigh, x, statistic='cvm',
|
|
... known_params={'loc': 0}, rng=rng)
|
|
|
|
This executes fairly quickly, but to check the reliability of the ``fit``
|
|
method, we should inspect the fit result.
|
|
|
|
>>> res.fit_result # location is as specified, and scale is reasonable
|
|
params: FitParams(loc=0.0, scale=2.1026719844231243)
|
|
success: True
|
|
message: 'The fit was performed successfully.'
|
|
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # matplotlib must be installed to plot
|
|
>>> res.fit_result.plot()
|
|
>>> plt.show()
|
|
|
|
If the distribution is not fit to the observed data as well as possible,
|
|
the test may not control the type I error rate, that is, the chance of
|
|
rejecting the null hypothesis even when it is true.
|
|
|
|
We should also look for extreme outliers in the null distribution that
|
|
may be caused by unreliable fitting. These do not necessarily invalidate
|
|
the result, but they tend to reduce the test's power.
|
|
|
|
>>> _, ax = plt.subplots()
|
|
>>> ax.hist(np.log10(res.null_distribution))
|
|
>>> ax.set_xlabel("log10 of CVM statistic under the null hypothesis")
|
|
>>> ax.set_ylabel("Frequency")
|
|
>>> ax.set_title("Histogram of the Monte Carlo null distribution")
|
|
>>> plt.show()
|
|
|
|
This plot seems reassuring.
|
|
|
|
If ``fit`` method is working reliably, and if the distribution of the test
|
|
statistic is not particularly sensitive to the values of the fitted
|
|
parameters, then the p-value provided by `goodness_of_fit` is expected to
|
|
be a good approximation.
