Examples

We first need to import the needed modules, namely numpy to convert the data we read into arrays that spreg understands and pysal to perform all the analysis.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import libpysal
>>> from libpysal import examples

Open data on NCOVR US County Homicides (3085 areas) using libpysal.io.open(). This is the DBF associated with the NAT shapefile. Note that libpysal.io.open() also reads data in CSV format; since the actual class requires data to be passed in as numpy arrays, the user can read their data in using any method.

>>> db = libpysal.io.open(examples.get_path("NAT.dbf"),'r')

Extract the HR90 column (homicide rates in 1990) from the DBF file and make it the dependent variable for the regression. Note that PySAL requires this to be an numpy array of shape (n, 1) as opposed to the also common shape of (n, ) that other packages accept.

>>> y_var = 'HR90'
>>> y = np.array([db.by_col(y_var)]).reshape(3085,1)

Extract UE90 (unemployment rate) and PS90 (population structure) vectors from the DBF to be used as independent variables in the regression. Other variables can be inserted by adding their names to x_var, such as x_var = [‘Var1’,’Var2’,’…] Note that PySAL requires this to be an nxj numpy array, where j is the number of independent variables (not including a constant). By default this model adds a vector of ones to the independent variables passed in.

>>> x_var = ['PS90','UE90']
>>> x = np.array([db.by_col(name) for name in x_var]).T

The different regimes in this data are given according to the North and South dummy (SOUTH).

>>> r_var = 'SOUTH'
>>> regimes = db.by_col(r_var)

Since we want to run a spatial lag model, we need to specify the spatial weights matrix that includes the spatial configuration of the observations. To do that, we can open an already existing gal file or create a new one. In this case, we will create one from NAT.shp.

>>> from libpysal import weights
>>> w = weights.Rook.from_shapefile(examples.get_path("NAT.shp"))

Unless there is a good reason not to do it, the weights have to be row-standardized so every row of the matrix sums to one. Among other things, this allows to interpret the spatial lag of a variable as the average value of the neighboring observations. In PySAL, this can be easily performed in the following way:

>>> w.transform = 'r'

This class runs a lag model, which means that includes the spatial lag of the dependent variable on the right-hand side of the equation. If we want to have the names of the variables printed in the output summary, we will have to pass them in as well, although this is optional.

>>> from spreg import GM_Lag_Regimes
>>> model=GM_Lag_Regimes(y, x, regimes, w=w, regime_lag_sep=False, regime_err_sep=False, name_y=y_var, name_x=x_var, name_regimes=r_var, name_ds='NAT', name_w='NAT.shp')
>>> model.betas
array([[ 1.28897623],
       [ 0.79777722],
       [ 0.56366891],
       [ 8.73327838],
       [ 1.30433406],
       [ 0.62418643],
       [-0.39993716]])

Once the model is run, we can have a summary of the output by typing: model.summary . Alternatively, we can obtain the standard error of the coefficient estimates by calling:

>>> model.std_err
array([0.38492902, 0.19106926, 0.06063249, 1.25607153, 0.36117334,
       0.092293  , 0.15116983])

In the example above, all coefficients but the spatial lag vary according to the regime. It is also possible to have the spatial lag varying according to the regime, which effective will result in an independent spatial lag model estimated for each regime. To run these models, the argument regime_lag_sep must be set to True:

>>> model=GM_Lag_Regimes(y, x, regimes, w=w, regime_lag_sep=True, name_y=y_var, name_x=x_var, name_regimes=r_var, name_ds='NAT', name_w='NAT.shp')
>>> print(model.output)
    var_names coefficients   std_err   zt_stat      prob

2      0_UE90     0.569468  0.067703  8.411247       0.0
3    0_W_HR90    -0.434244  0.177208 -2.450478  0.014267
4  1_CONSTANT     7.907311  1.772336  4.461518  0.000008
5      1_PS90     1.274657  0.368306  3.460869  0.000538
6      1_UE90     0.601677  0.102102  5.892907       0.0
7    1_W_HR90    -0.296034  0.226243 -1.308474  0.190712

Alternatively, we can type: ‘model.summary’ to see the organized results output. The class is flexible enough to accomodate a spatial lag model that, besides the spatial lag of the dependent variable, includes other non-spatial endogenous regressors. As an example, we will add the endogenous variable RD90 (resource deprivation) and we decide to instrument for it with FP89 (families below poverty):

>>> yd_var = ['RD90']
>>> yd = np.array([db.by_col(name) for name in yd_var]).T
>>> q_var = ['FP89']
>>> q = np.array([db.by_col(name) for name in q_var]).T

And we can run the model again:

>>> model = GM_Lag_Regimes(y, x, regimes, yend=yd, q=q, w=w, regime_lag_sep=False, regime_err_sep=False, name_y=y_var, name_x=x_var, name_yend=yd_var, name_q=q_var, name_regimes=r_var, name_ds='NAT', name_w='NAT.shp')
>>> model.betas
array([[ 3.42195202],
       [ 1.03311878],
       [ 0.14308741],
       [ 8.99740066],
       [ 1.91877758],
       [-0.32084816],
       [ 2.38918212],
       [ 3.67243761],
       [ 0.06959139]])

Once the model is run, we can obtain the standard error of the coefficient estimates. Alternatively, we can have a summary of the output by typing: model.summary
