CovarianceEstimatorFunction

CovarianceEstimatorFunction

is an option for generalized linear model fitting functions that specifies the estimator for the parameter covariance matrix.

Details

  • CovarianceEstimatorFunction is an option for GeneralizedLinearModelFit, LogitModelFit, and ProbitModelFit.
  • Possible settings include "ExpectedInformation" and "ObservedInformation" which use the expected information matrix and observed information matrix, respectively.
  • The covariance matrix is equivalent to , where ϕ is the dispersion parameter and is Fisher's information matrix.

Basic Examples  (1)

Fit a generalized linear model:

Compute the covariance matrix using the expected information matrix:

Use the observed information matrix instead:

Scope  (2)

Specify the covariance estimate within the FittedModel:

Use with LogitModelFit:

Use with ProbitModelFit:

Properties & Relations  (2)

Error estimates and confidence intervals involve covariance estimates:

Estimate errors and intervals using expected information:

Use observed information:

CovarianceEstimatorFunction controls the general structure of the covariance:

DispersionEstimatorFunction affects the scale:

The ratio of the errors squared is the ratio of the dispersion estimates:
