Examples

>>> import libpysal
>>> import geopandas as gpd
>>> from spreg import SURlagIV
>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.set_printoptions(suppress=True) #prevent scientific format

Open data on NCOVR US County Homicides (3085 areas) from libpysal examples using geopandas.

>>> nat = libpysal.examples.load_example('Natregimes')
>>> df = gpd.read_file(nat.get_path("natregimes.shp"))

The specification of the model to be estimated can be provided as lists. Each equation should be listed separately. In this example, equation 1 has HR80 as dependent variable, PS80 and UE80 as exogenous regressors, RD80 as endogenous regressor and FP79 as additional instrument. For equation 2, HR90 is the dependent variable, PS90 and UE90 the exogenous regressors, RD90 as endogenous regressor and FP99 as additional instrument

>>> y_var = ['HR80','HR90']
>>> x_var = [['PS80','UE80'],['PS90','UE90']]
>>> yend_var = [['RD80'],['RD90']]
>>> q_var = [['FP79'],['FP89']]

To run a spatial lag model, we need to specify the spatial weights matrix. To do that, we can open an already existing gal file or create a new one. In this example, we will create a new one from NAT.shp and transform it to row-standardized.

>>> w = libpysal.weights.Queen.from_dataframe(df)
>>> w.transform='r'

We can now run the regression and then have a summary of the output by typing: print(reg.summary)

Alternatively, we can just check the betas and standard errors, asymptotic t and p-value of the parameters:

>>> reg = SURlagIV(y_var,x_var,yend_var,q_var,w=w,df=df,name_ds="NAT",name_w="nat_queen")
