Likelihood

Likelihood(name, params=None, parent=None, dist=None)

Representation of a Likelihood function for a Bambi model

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	str	Name of the likelihood function. Must be a valid PyMC distribution name.	required
params	sequence of str or None	The name of the parameters the likelihood function accepts.	None
parent	str or None	Optional specification of the name of the mean parameter in the likelihood. This is the parameter whose transformation is modeled by the linear predictor.	None
dist	pymc.Distribution or callable or None	Optional custom PyMC distribution that will be used to compute the likelihood.	None

Notes

• parent must be in params
• parent is inferred from the name if it is a known name
