ChildCare

Code and figures for Infant Health and Development Program (IHDP) example. See Chapter 20 in Regression and Other Stories.

The intervention for low-birth-weight children is described by

Source: Childcare/childcare.Rmd.

The Python version keeps data handling explicit and uses lapylace for Stan-backed generalized linear models, so the statistical model can be read from a formula rather than from handwritten Stan.

from pathlib import Path
import sys
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import lapylace as lp

sys.path.append(str(Path.cwd().parent / 'python'))
from data import ros_path

Data

cc2 = pd.read_csv(ros_path('Childcare/data', 'cc2.csv'))

Models

The formulas below are the Python counterparts of the model formulas in the source example. Use lapylace for the Stan-backed Bayesian fit with the same formula interface.

# fit = lp.stan_glm('ppvtr_36~bw+treat', data=cc2, family=lp.gaussian(), chains=4, iter_sampling=1000)

# fit = lp.stan_glm('treat ~ unemp_rt', data=cc2, family=lp.bernoulli(), chains=4, iter_sampling=1000)

Notes

  • Source computation blocks represented: 55.
  • Data paths are expressed through the shared ros_path() helper.
  • Formula-based Bayesian regressions are routed through lapylace.stan_glm().
  • Plotting and simulation work uses NumPy, pandas, matplotlib idioms.
