GLM_FORE - GLM Forecast

Calculates the expected response (i.e., mean) value, given the GLM model and the values of the explanatory variables.

Syntax

GLM_FORE(X, Betas, Phi, Lvk)
X
is the independent variables data matrix, so each column represents one variable.
Betas
are the coefficients of the explanatory variables (a one-dimensional array of cells (e.g., rows or columns)).
Phi
is the GLM dispersion paramter.
Distribution PHI
Gaussian Variance
Poisson 1.0
Binomial Reciprocal of batch/trial size
Lvk
is the link function that describes how the mean depends on the linear predictor (1=Identity (default), 2=Log, 3=Logit, 4=Probit, 5=Log-Log).
Link Description
1 Identity (residuals ~ Normal distribution)
2 Log (residuals ~ Poisson distribution)
3 Logit (residuals ~ Binomial distribution)
4 Probit(residuals ~ Binomial distribution)
5 Complementary log-log (residuals ~ Binomial distribution)

Remarks

  1. The underlying model is described here.
  2. The input argument - Phi - is only meaningful for Binomial (1/batch or trial size) and Gaussian (variance).
  3. GLM_FORE returns an array of size equal to the number of rows in the input response (Y) or explanatory variables (X).
  4. The number of rows in the response variable (Y) must equal the number of rows of the explanatory variables (X).
  5. The betas input is optional, but if the user provides one, the number of betas must equal the number of explanatory variables (i.e., X) plus one (intercept).
  6. For GLM with Poisson distribution,
    • The values of the response variable must be non-negative integers. 
    • The value of the dispersion factor (Phi) must be either missing or equal to one.
  7. For GLM with Binomial distribution,
    • The values of the response variable must be non-negative fractions between zero and one, inclusive.
    • The value of the dispersion factor (Phi) must be a positive fraction (greater than zero and less than one).
  8. For GLM with Gaussian distribution, the dispersion factor (Phi) value must be positive.
