- Parameters
- yarray
nx1 array for dependent variable
- xarray
Two dimensional array with n rows and one column for each independent (exogenous) variable, excluding the constant
- yendarray
Two dimensional array with n rows and one column for each endogenous variable
- qarray
Two dimensional array with n rows and one column for each external exogenous variable to use as instruments (note: this should not contain any variables from x)
- wpysal W object
Spatial weights object (required if running spatial diagnostics)
- robuststring
If ‘white’, then a White consistent estimator of the variance-covariance matrix is given. If ‘hac’, then a HAC consistent estimator of the variance-covariance matrix is given. Default set to None.
- gwkpysal W object
Kernel spatial weights needed for HAC estimation. Note: matrix must have ones along the main diagonal.
- sig2n_kboolean
If True, then use n-k to estimate sigma^2. If False, use n.

Examples
We first need to import the needed modules, namely numpy to convert the data we read into arrays that
spreg
understands andpysal
to perform all the analysis.>>> import numpy as np >>> import libpysal
Open data on Columbus neighborhood crime (49 areas) using libpysal.io.open(). This is the DBF associated with the Columbus shapefile. Note that libpysal.io.open() also reads data in CSV format; since the actual class requires data to be passed in as numpy arrays, the user can read their data in using any method.
>>> db = libpysal.io.open(libpysal.examples.get_path("columbus.dbf"),'r')
Extract the CRIME column (crime rates) from the DBF file and make it the dependent variable for the regression. Note that PySAL requires this to be an numpy array of shape (n, 1) as opposed to the also common shape of (n, ) that other packages accept.
>>> y = np.array(db.by_col("CRIME")) >>> y = np.reshape(y, (49,1))
Extract INC (income) vector from the DBF to be used as independent variables in the regression. Note that PySAL requires this to be an nxj numpy array, where j is the number of independent variables (not including a constant). By default this model adds a vector of ones to the independent variables passed in, but this can be overridden by passing constant=False.
>>> X = [] >>> X.append(db.by_col("INC")) >>> X = np.array(X).T
In this case we consider HOVAL (home value) is an endogenous regressor. We tell the model that this is so by passing it in a different parameter from the exogenous variables (x).
>>> yd = [] >>> yd.append(db.by_col("HOVAL")) >>> yd = np.array(yd).T
Because we have endogenous variables, to obtain a correct estimate of the model, we need to instrument for HOVAL. We use DISCBD (distance to the CBD) for this and hence put it in the instruments parameter, ‘q’.
>>> q = [] >>> q.append(db.by_col("DISCBD")) >>> q = np.array(q).T
We are all set with the preliminars, we are good to run the model. In this case, we will need the variables (exogenous and endogenous) and the instruments. If we want to have the names of the variables printed in the output summary, we will have to pass them in as well, although this is optional.
>>> reg = TSLS(y, X, yd, q, name_x=['inc'], name_y='crime', name_yend=['hoval'], name_q=['discbd'], name_ds='columbus') >>> print reg.betas [[ 88.46579584] [ 0.5200379 ] [ -1.58216593]]
