RegscorePy
==========

|Build Status| |codecov| |PyPi|

A python package that does model comparison between different regression
models.

Installation
------------

.. code:: bash

    pip install git+https://github.com/UBC-MDS/RegscorePy.git

    #or

    pip install RegscorePy

**Function Description And Usage**
----------------------------------

AIC
~~~

AIC stands for Akaike’s Information Criterion. It estimates the quality
of a model, relative to each of other models. The lower AIC score is,
the better the model is. Therefore, a model with lowest AIC - in
comparison to others, is chosen.

::

    AIC = n*log(residual sum of squares/n) + 2K

where: - n: number of observations - K: number of parameters (including
intercept)

Function
^^^^^^^^

::

    aic(y, y_pred, p)

**Parameters:**

-  **y**: array-like of shape = (n\_samples) or (n\_samples, n\_outputs)
-  True target variable(s)

-  **y\_pred**: array-like of shape = (n\_samples) or (n\_samples,
   n\_outputs)
-  Fitted target variable(s) obtained from your regression model

-  **p**: int
-  Number of predictive variable(s) used in the model

**Return:** \* aic\_score: int \* AIC score of the model

BIC
~~~

BIC stands for Bayesian Information Criterion. Like AIC, it also
estimates the quality of a model. When fitting models, it is possible to
increase model fitness by adding more parameters. Doing this may result
in model overfit. Both AIC and BIC help to resolve this problem by using
a penalty term for the number of parameters in the model. This term is
bigger in BIC than in AIC.

::

    BIC = n*log(residual sum of squares/n) + K*log(n)

where: - n: number of observations - K: number of parameters (including
intercept)

Function
^^^^^^^^

::

    bic(y, y_pred, p)

**Parameters:** \* **y**: array-like of shape = (n\_samples) or
(n\_samples, n\_outputs) \* True target variable(s)

-  **y\_pred**: array-like of shape = (n\_samples) or (n\_samples,
   n\_outputs)
-  Fitted target variable(s) obtained from your regression model

-  **p**: int
-  Number of predictive variable(s) used in the model

**Return:** \* bic\_score: int \* BIC score of the model

Mallow's C\_p
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Introduction
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Mallow's C\_p is named for Colin Lingwood Mallows. It is used to assess
the fit of regression model, finding the best model involving a subset
of predictive variables available for predicting some outcome.

::

    C_p = (SSE_p/MSE) - (n - 2p)

where: - SSE\_k: residual sum of squares for the subset model containing
``p`` explanatory variables counting the intercept. - MSE: mean squared
error for the full model (model containing all ``k`` explanatory
variables of interest) - n: number of observations - p: number of subset
explanatory variables

Function
^^^^^^^^

::

    mallow(y, y_pred, y_sub, k, p)

**Parameters:**

-  **y**: array-like of shape = (n\_samples) or (n\_samples, n\_outputs)
-  True target variable(s)

-  **y\_pred**: array-like of shape = (n\_samples) or (n\_samples,
   n\_outputs)
-  Fitted target variable(s) obtained from your regression model

-  **y\_sub**: array-like of shape = (n\_samples) or (n\_samples,
   n\_outputs)
-  Fitted target variable(s) obtained from your subset regression model

-  **k**: int
-  Number of predictive variable(s) used in the model

-  **p**: int
-  Number of predictive variable(s) used in the subset model

**Return:**

-  mallow\_score: int
-  Mallow's C\_p score of the subset model

Usage
-----

::

    >> from RegscorePy import *
    >> y = [1,2,3,4]
    >> y_pred = [5,6,7,8]
    >> p = 3
    >> aic.aic(y, y_pred, p)
    17.090354888959126
    >>
    >>
    >> bic.bic(y, y_pred, p)
    15.249237972318795
    >>
    >>
    >> y_sub = [1,2,3,5]
    >> k = 3
    >> p = 2
    >> mallow.mallow(y, y_pred, y_sub, k, p) 
    >> 0.015625

-  This usage apply to python3. If you use python2, please run
   ``from __future__ import division`` before run the function.

How to run tests
----------------

>From root directory, run all test files in terminal:

::

    python -m pytest

You also have the option to run individual test files by referencing its
path. For example, if you want to test aic function, you can use the
command below:

::

    python -m pytest RegscorePy/test/test_aic.py
