Best Practices

最佳实践

Data Preparation

数据准备

  1. Always add constant: Use
    sm.add_constant()
    unless excluding intercept
  2. Check for missing values: Handle or impute before fitting
  3. Scale if needed: Improves convergence, interpretation (but not required for tree models)
  4. Encode categoricals: Use formula API or manual dummy coding
  1. 始终添加常数项:使用
    sm.add_constant()
    ,除非明确排除截距
  2. 检查缺失值:在拟合前处理或插补缺失值
  3. 必要时标准化:优化收敛性和解释性(但树模型不需要)
  4. 编码分类变量:使用公式API或手动虚拟编码

Model Building

模型构建

  1. Start simple: Begin with basic model, add complexity as needed
  2. Check assumptions: Test residuals, heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation
  3. Use appropriate model: Match model to outcome type (binary→Logit, count→Poisson)
  4. Consider alternatives: If assumptions violated, use robust methods or different model
  1. 从简单模型开始:先使用基础模型,再根据需要增加复杂度
  2. 检查假设:检验残差、异方差、自相关
  3. 选择合适的模型:匹配模型与结果类型(二元→Logit,计数→Poisson)
  4. 考虑替代方案:如果假设不满足,使用稳健方法或其他模型

Inference

推断

  1. Report effect sizes: Not just p-values
  2. Use robust SEs: When heteroskedasticity or clustering present
  3. Multiple comparisons: Correct when testing many hypotheses
  4. Confidence intervals: Always report alongside point estimates
  1. 报告效应量:不要只报告p值
  2. 使用稳健标准误:当存在异方差或聚类时
  3. 多重比较校正:当检验多个假设时
  4. 置信区间:始终与点估计一起报告

Model Evaluation

模型评估

  1. Check residuals: Plot residuals vs fitted, Q-Q plot
  2. Influence diagnostics: Identify and investigate influential observations
  3. Out-of-sample validation: Test on holdout set or cross-validate
  4. Compare models: Use AIC/BIC for non-nested, LR test for nested
  1. 检查残差:绘制残差与拟合值图、Q-Q图

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

常见陷阱

  1. Forgetting constant term: Always use
    sm.add_constant()
    unless no intercept desired
  2. Ignoring assumptions: Check residuals, heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation
  3. Wrong model for outcome type: Binary→Logit/Probit, Count→Poisson/NB, not OLS
  4. Not checking convergence: Look for optimization warnings
  5. Misinterpreting coefficients: Remember link functions (log, logit, etc.)
  6. Using Poisson with overdispersion: Check dispersion, use Negative Binomial if needed
  7. Not using robust SEs: When heteroskedasticity or clustering present
  8. Overfitting: Too many parameters relative to sample size
  9. Data leakage: Fitting on test data or using future information
  10. Not validating predictions: Always check out-of-sample performance
  11. Comparing non-nested models: Use AIC/BIC, not LR test
  12. Ignoring influential observations: Check Cook's distance and leverage
  13. Multiple testing: Correct p-values when testing many hypotheses
  14. Not differencing time series: Fit ARIMA on non-stationary data
  15. Confusing prediction vs confidence intervals: Prediction intervals are wider
  1. 忘记常数项:始终使用
    sm.add_constant()
    ,除非不需要截距
  2. 忽略假设检验:检查残差、异方差、自相关
  3. 错误的模型-结果匹配:二元结果→Logit/Probit,计数→Poisson/NB,而非OLS
  4. 未检查收敛:注意优化警告
  5. 错误解释系数:牢记链接函数(如对数链接的exp(β))
  6. 在过度离散数据上使用泊松回归:检查离散度,必要时使用负二项回归
  7. 未使用稳健标准误:当存在异方差或聚类时
  8. 过拟合:参数数量相对于样本过多
  9. 数据泄露:在测试数据上拟合或使用未来信息
  10. 未验证预测:始终检查样本外性能
  11. 比较非嵌套模型:使用AIC/BIC,而非LR检验
  12. 忽略影响性观测值:检查Cook距离和杠杆值
  13. 多重测试未校正:当检验多个假设时校正p值
  14. 时间序列未差分:在非平稳数据上拟合ARIMA
  15. 混淆预测区间与置信区间:预测区间更宽
