Measuring R-Squared by category

You could separate both the data and regression results by category, then for each category calculate R-squared (R2) as "R2 = 1.0 - (residual_error_variance / dependent_data_variance)". Using numpy's …

(How) Can I fit a dataset with some parameters fit globally?

One approach is to construct the fitting function like so: if (data in dataset 1): bottom+(top-bottom)/(1+10**((logIC50_1-x)*HillSlope_1)) # "_1" elif (data in dataset 2): bottom+(top-bottom) …

Multi-variable nonlinear scipy curve_fit

Here is a 3D surface fitter using your equation and my test data that makes a 3D scatter plot, a 3D surface plot, and a contour plot. You should be able to click-drag the 3D plots with the mouse and r …

Modify fit or function to match certain values

Looking at the scatterplot, the data seemed to me as if it were similar to a sine wave plus a straight line. I fitted the data to several trigonometric functions of this type, and found that a hyperbo …

How should I go about doing regression with a series of exponents involved?

Here is example code that I think should what you describe, using the equation "Z = (a1 * X1^n1) + (a2 * X2^n2)". This code uses the "brick wall" technique to keep the parameters n1 and n2 within boun …

How to know if a parameter is statistically significant in a “curve_fit” estimation?

Here is example code adapted from my zunzun.com curve fitting web site. Note that your original data gives very small or zero p-values. from scipy.optimize import curve_fit import numpy as np import …

What statistical technique could be used to extrapolate CO2 data

The NOAA site has the Moana Loa observatory atmospheric CO2 data directly downloadable as text at ftp://aftp.cmdl.noaa.gov/products/trends/co2/co2_mm_mlo.txt - no scraping needed. After removing a few …

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of a dataset

I got what looks like a good fit of the data in the .csv file to scipy's right-sided Gumbel distribution: with the following info: Right Sided Gumbel distribution http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/ …

Dealing with outlier data causing a non-linearity for logistic regression model

This is my comparison of a third order polynomial and a different equation from an equation search, placed here as I cannot display images in the comments. The third order polynomial does not visually …

Coffee ratings: How to do causal inference with high kurtosis/outliers?

If you examine this 3D scatter plot and 3D surface plot, you can see that the data is concentrated in one 3-space region on the left side of the images. From the "Y = a + (b * X1) + (c * X2)" linear …
