statsmodels.discrete.discrete_model.Poisson.score

Poisson.score(params) [source]

Poisson model score (gradient) vector of the log-likelihood

Parameters: params (array-like) – The parameters of the model
Returns: score – The score vector of the model, i.e. the first derivative of the loglikelihood function, evaluated at params
Return type: ndarray, 1-D

Notes

\[\frac{\partial\ln L}{\partial\beta}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(y_{i}-\lambda_{i}\right)x_{i}\]

where the loglinear model is assumed

\[\ln\lambda_{i}=x_{i}\beta\]
