fit(draws=2000, tune=1000, chains=4, target_accept=None, random_seed=None, progressbar=True, sampler=None, gibbs_backend='auto', thin=1, n_jobs=-1, idata_kwargs=None, **sample_kwargs)[source]¶

Draw samples from the posterior.

Dispatches to this model’s Gibbs sampler (sampler="gibbs") or NUTS (sampler="nuts"). When sampler is None (default), Gibbs is used if the model has a registered Gibbs sampler, otherwise NUTS.

Parameters:¶

draws : int¶: Post-warmup draws, warmup steps, and number of chains.
tune : int¶: Post-warmup draws, warmup steps, and number of chains.
chains : int¶: Post-warmup draws, warmup steps, and number of chains.
target_accept : float, optional¶: Target acceptance rate for NUTS. NUTS-only: passing it with the Gibbs sampler raises TypeError. Defaults to 0.9 for NUTS.
random_seed : int, optional¶: Seed for reproducibility.
progressbar : bool, default True¶: Show progress bar(s) during sampling.
sampler : {"gibbs", "nuts", None}, default None¶: Sampling method. None auto-selects Gibbs when this model has one, else NUTS.
gibbs_backend : {"auto", "jax", "numpy"}, default "auto"¶: Execution backend for the Gibbs sampler. "auto" uses JAX when installed and supported by the family, else NumPy. Ignored for NUTS.
thin : int, default 1¶: Keep every thin-th post-warmup Gibbs draw (Gibbs only).
n_jobs : int, default -1¶: Parallel workers for the NumPy Gibbs path (Gibbs only).
idata_kwargs : dict, optional¶: {"log_likelihood": True} stores the complete Jacobian-corrected pointwise log-likelihood that az.loo / az.waic / az.compare need, for Gibbs and NUTS alike. Off by default, as in PyMC: it holds one value per draw, chain, and observation (16 GB at n = 250,000 with 4 × 2,000 draws). For NUTS the dict is also passed to pm.sample.
**sample_kwargs¶: For NUTS, forwarded to pm.sample (nuts_sampler=...); for Gibbs, the family’s declared options (an unsupported key raises).

Return type:¶

arviz.InferenceData

fitted_values()[source]¶

Return fitted values at posterior mean parameters.

Returns:¶: Posterior-mean fitted values (on the model’s native scale; fixed-effects-transformed for panel models).
Return type:¶: np.ndarray

property inference_data : arviz.data.inference_data.InferenceData | None[source]¶

Return the ArviZ InferenceData from the most recent fit.

Returns:¶: The inference data object, or None if the model has not been fit yet.
Return type:¶: arviz.InferenceData or None

property pymc_model : pymc.model.core.Model | None[source]¶

Return the PyMC model object built for the most recent fit.

For Gibbs-fitted models the PyMC model is not constructed during sampling; it is built lazily on first access so that downstream consumers (e.g. bridge sampling for marginal likelihoods) can evaluate logp and the prior under the same model definition used by the NUTS path.

Returns:¶: The model object used by fit(), or None if the instance has not been fit yet.
Return type:¶: pymc.Model or None

residuals()[source]¶

Return residuals y - fitted_values.

Returns:¶: Residual vector y - fitted_values on the same scale as fitted_values().
Return type:¶: np.ndarray

spatial_diagnostics()[source]¶

Run Bayesian LM specification tests and return a summary table.

Looks up the diagnostic suite registered for this model class and calls each test function on this fitted model, collecting the results into a tidy DataFrame. The set of tests depends on the model type — for example, an OLS model runs LM-Lag, LM-Error, LM-SDM-Joint, and LM-SLX-Error-Joint, while an SAR model runs LM-Error, LM-WX, and Robust-LM-WX. Panel models run the Panel--prefixed analogues (e.g. Panel-LM-Lag).

Requires the model to have been fit (.fit() called) and a spatial weights matrix W to have been supplied at construction time.

Returns:¶

DataFrame indexed by test name with columns:

Column	Description
statistic	Posterior mean of the LM statistic
median	Posterior median of the LM statistic
df	Degrees of freedom for the \(\chi^2\) reference
p_value	Bayesian p-value: `1 - chi2.cdf(mean, df)`
ci_lower	Lower bound of 95% credible interval (2.5%)
ci_upper	Upper bound of 95% credible interval (97.5%)

The DataFrame has attrs["model_type"] (class name) and attrs["n_draws"] (total posterior draws) metadata.

Return type:¶

pandas.DataFrame

Raises:¶

RuntimeError – If the model has not been fit yet.
ValueError – If no spatial weights matrix W was supplied.

spatial_diagnostics_decision(alpha=0.05, format='graphviz')[source]¶

Return a model-selection decision from Bayesian LM test results.

Implements the decision tree from Koley and Bera [2024] (the Bayesian analogue of the classical stge_kb procedure in Anselin et al. [1996]). Panel models use the Panel--prefixed test analogues and the panel decision specs, following Elhorst [2014]. The decision logic depends on the current model type and the pattern of significant tests:

From OLS (6-test decision tree):

If only LM-Lag is significant → SAR.
If only LM-Error is significant → SEM.
If both are significant → use the Anselin–Florax / Koley–Bera robust pair: Robust-LM-Lag → SAR, Robust-LM-Error → SEM, both → SARAR. If neither robust test is significant, fall back to the lower raw p-value.
If neither naive test is significant → OLS.

From SAR (3-test decision tree):

LM-Error significant → SARAR; LM-WX significant → SDM; Robust-LM-WX significant → SDM.

From SEM (2-test decision tree):

LM-Lag significant → SARAR; LM-WX significant → SDEM.

From SLX (4-test decision tree):

Robust-LM-Lag-SDM significant → SDM; Robust-LM-Error-SDEM significant → SDEM; both → MANSAR; neither → SLX.

From SDM: LM-Error-SDM significant → MANSAR; else SDM.

From SDEM: LM-Lag-SDEM significant → MANSAR; else SDEM.

Parameters:¶

alpha : float, default 0.05¶: Significance level for the Bayesian p-values.
format : {"graphviz", "ascii", "model"}, default "graphviz"¶: Output format. "model" returns the recommended-model name string. "ascii" returns an indented box-drawing rendering of the full decision tree with the chosen path highlighted. "graphviz" returns a graphviz.Digraph object that renders inline in Jupyter; if the optional graphviz package is not installed a UserWarning is issued and the ASCII rendering is returned instead.

Returns:¶

Recommended model name when format="model", an ASCII tree string when format="ascii", or a graphviz.Digraph when format="graphviz" (with ASCII fallback on missing dep).

Return type:¶

str or graphviz.Digraph
