Likelihood

families.Likelihood(self, name, params=None, parent=None, dist=None)

Representation of a Likelihood function for a Bambi model.

Notes: * parent must be in params * parent is inferred from the name if it is a known name

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	str	Name of the likelihood function. Must be a valid PyMC distribution name.	required
params	Sequence[str]	The name of the parameters the likelihood function accepts.	None
parent	str	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.distributions.distribution.DistributionMeta or callable	Optional custom PyMC distribution that will be used to compute the likelihood.	None
