Gay

Simple models (linear and discretized age) and attitudes as a function of age. See Chapter 12 in Regression and Other Stories.

Source: Gay/gay_simple.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

naes04 = pd.read_csv(ros_path('Gay/data', 'naes04.csv'))
naes04.head()
Unnamed: 0 age gender race gayFavorFederalMarriage gayFavorStateMarriage gayKnowSomeone

4 5 48.0 Female White No Yes Yes

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('support ~ age', data=naes04, family=lp.gaussian(), chains=4, iter_sampling=1000)

# fit = lp.stan_glm('support ~ factor(age_discrete)', data=naes04, family=lp.gaussian(), chains=4, iter_sampling=1000)

Notes

  • Source computation blocks represented: 10.
  • 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.
