Assignment 10: Task 3 GLM error

[sagniksom]

Hi, I am having an issue with the GLM initialization.

Here is my code:

le_model = sm.GLM(y=world_data_2014.child_mortality, x=sm.add_constant(world_data_2014.income), family=sm.families.Gaussian(link=sm.families.links.log()))

le_results = le_model.fit()


# do not change the code below()
print(le_results.summary())

and I get this error:

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in <cell line: 1>()
----> 1 le_model = sm.GLM(y=world_data_2014.child_mortality, x=sm.add_constant(world_data_2014.income), family=sm.families.Gaussian(link=sm.families.links.log()))
2
3 le_results = le_model.fit()
4
5

TypeError: GLM.init() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'endog' and 'exog'

Any suggestions?

I'm guessing the y= and x= in the lines y=world_data_2014.child_mortality andx=sm.add_constant(world_data_2014.income) respectively is breaking the GLM function.

https://www.statsmodels.org/stable/glm.html

you can try endog= and exog = or just not put that there at all.

let me know if this works
