Why do I get only one parameter from a statsmodels OLS fit


Try this:

X = sm.add_constant(X)sm.OLS(y,X)

as in the documentation:

An intercept is not included by default and should be added by the user

statsmodels.tools.tools.add_constant


Just to be complete, this works:

>>> import numpy >>> import statsmodels.api as sm>>> y = numpy.array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])>>> X = numpy.array([1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5])>>> X = sm.add_constant(X)>>> res_ols = sm.OLS(y, X).fit()>>> res_ols.paramsarray([-0.35714286,  1.92857143])

It does give me a different slope coefficient, but I guess that figures as we now do have an intercept.


Try this, it worked for me:

import statsmodels.formula.api as smfrom statsmodels.api import add_constantX_train = add_constant(X_train)X_test = add_constant(X_test)model = sm.OLS(y_train,X_train)results = model.fit()y_pred=results.predict(X_test)results.params
