GLM Model Classes

Direct GLM model access outside of Polars expressions.

Common Interface

from polars_statistics import Logistic, Poisson, NegativeBinomial, Tweedie, Probit, Cloglog

model = Logistic(with_intercept=True)
model.fit(X, y)

# Properties
model.coefficients      # np.ndarray
model.intercept         # float or None
model.deviance          # float
model.null_deviance     # float
model.aic               # float
model.bic               # float

# Predict
predictions = model.predict(X_new)
probs = model.predict_proba(X_new)  # For classification models

Logistic

Logistic regression for binary classification.

from polars_statistics import Logistic

model = Logistic(
    lambda_: float = 0.0,  # L2 regularization
    with_intercept: bool = True,
)
model.fit(X, y)  # y: binary (0/1)

predictions = model.predict(X_new)      # Class predictions
probabilities = model.predict_proba(X_new)  # Probability estimates

Poisson

Poisson regression for count data.

from polars_statistics import Poisson

model = Poisson(
    lambda_: float = 0.0,
    with_intercept: bool = True,
)
model.fit(X, y)  # y: non-negative counts

NegativeBinomial

Negative Binomial regression for overdispersed count data.

from polars_statistics import NegativeBinomial

model = NegativeBinomial(
    theta: float | None = None,  # Dispersion; None = estimate
    estimate_theta: bool = True,
    lambda_: float = 0.0,
    with_intercept: bool = True,
)
model.fit(X, y)

# Additional property
model.theta  # Estimated dispersion parameter

Tweedie

Tweedie GLM for flexible variance structures.

from polars_statistics import Tweedie

model = Tweedie(
    var_power: float = 1.5,
    lambda_: float = 0.0,
    with_intercept: bool = True,
)
model.fit(X, y)

Probit

Probit regression for binary classification.

from polars_statistics import Probit

model = Probit(
    lambda_: float = 0.0,
    with_intercept: bool = True,
)
model.fit(X, y)  # y: binary (0/1)

Cloglog

Complementary log-log regression for binary classification.

from polars_statistics import Cloglog

model = Cloglog(
    lambda_: float = 0.0,
    with_intercept: bool = True,
)
model.fit(X, y)  # y: binary (0/1)
