# Comparing R lmer to statsmodels MixedLM
# =======================================
#
# The statsmodels implementation of linear mixed models (MixedLM) closely
# follows the approach outlined in Lindstrom and Bates (JASA 1988). This is
# also the approach followed in the R package LME4. Other packages such as
# Stata, SAS, etc. should also be consistent with this approach, as the
# basic techniques in this area are mostly mature.
#
# Here we show how linear mixed models can be fit using the MixedLM
# procedure in statsmodels. Results from R (LME4) are included for
# comparison.
#
# Here are our import statements:
# ## Growth curves of pigs
#
# These are longitudinal data from a factorial experiment. The outcome
# variable is the weight of each pig, and the only predictor variable we
# will use here is "time". First we fit a model that expresses the mean
# weight as a linear function of time, with a random intercept for each pig.
# The model is specified using formulas. Since the random effects structure
# is not specified, the default random effects structure (a random intercept
# for each group) is automatically used.
data = sm.datasets.get_rdataset("dietox", "geepack").data
md = smf.mixedlm("Weight ~ Time", data, groups=data["Pig"])
mdf = md.fit(method=["lbfgs"])
print(mdf.summary())
# Here is the same model fit in R using LMER:
# ```ipython
# %%R
# data(dietox, package='geepack')
# ```
# ```ipython
# %R print(summary(lmer('Weight ~ Time + (1|Pig)', data=dietox)))
# ```
# ```
# Linear mixed model fit by REML ['lmerMod']
# Formula: Weight ~ Time + (1 | Pig)
# Data: dietox
#
# REML criterion at convergence: 4809.6
#
# Scaled residuals:
# Min 1Q Median 3Q Max
# -4.7118 -0.5696 -0.0943 0.4877 4.7732
#
# Random effects:
# Groups Name Variance Std.Dev.
# Pig (Intercept) 40.39 6.356
# Residual 11.37 3.371
# Number of obs: 861, groups: Pig, 72
#
# Fixed effects:
# Estimate Std. Error t value
# (Intercept) 15.72352 0.78805 19.95
# Time 6.94251 0.03339 207.94
#
# Correlation of Fixed Effects:
# (Intr)
# Time -0.275
# ```
# Note that in the statsmodels summary of results, the fixed effects and
# random effects parameter estimates are shown in a single table. The
# random effect for animal is labeled "Intercept RE" in the statsmodels
# output above. In the LME4 output, this effect is the pig intercept under
# the random effects section.
#
# There has been a lot of debate about whether the standard errors for
# random effect variance and covariance parameters are useful. In LME4,
# these standard errors are not displayed, because the authors of the
# package believe they are not very informative. While there is good reason
# to question their utility, we elected to include the standard errors in
# the summary table, but do not show the corresponding Wald confidence
# intervals.
#
# Next we fit a model with two random effects for each animal: a random
# intercept, and a random slope (with respect to time). This means that
# each pig may have a different baseline weight, as well as growing at a
# different rate. The formula specifies that "Time" is a covariate with a
# random coefficient. By default, formulas always include an intercept
# (which could be suppressed here using "0 + Time" as the formula).
md = smf.mixedlm("Weight ~ Time", data, groups=data["Pig"], re_formula="~Time")
mdf = md.fit(method=["lbfgs"])

# The random intercept and random slope are only weakly correlated $(0.294
# / \sqrt{19.493 * 0.416} \approx 0.1)$. So next we fit a model in which

0.294 / (19.493 * 0.416)**0.5
