2 Overview Models with constant coefficient of variation Gamma regression: estimation and testing Gamma regression with weights c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
3 Motivation Linear models: V ar(y i ) = σ 2 constant Poisson models: V ar(y i ) = E(Y i ) = µ i non constant, linear Constant coefficient of variation: [V ar(y i )] 1/2 E(Y i ) = σ V ar(y i ) = σ 2 µ 2 i non constant, quadratic c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
4 Which transformation stablizes the variance if V ar(y i ) = σ 2 µ 2 i holds? Answer: Z i := log(y i ) Proof: According to a 2nd order Taylor expansion we have Z i = log(y i ) log(µ i ) + 1 µ i (Y i µ i ) 1 (Y 2µ 2 i µ i ) 2 i for σ 2 small E(Z i ) log(µ i ) 1 2µ 2 i = log(µ i ) 1 2 σ2 V ar(y i ) } {{ } =σ 2 µ 2 i According to a 1st order Taylor expansion we have E(Z i ) log(µ ( i ) ) E(Zi 2) E [log(µ i ) + 1 µ i (Y i µ i )] 2 ( ) ( = (log µ i ) 2 + 2E log(µ i ) 1 µ i (Y i µ i ) + E = (log µ i ) σ 2 µ 2 µ 2 i = (log µ i) 2 + σ 2 i V ar(z i ) (log µ i ) 2 + σ 2 (log µ i ) 2 = σ 2 For small σ 2 we have E(Z i ) log(µ i ) σ 2 /2 and V ar(z i ) σ 2 1 µ 2 i (Y i µ i ) 2 ) c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
5 Multiplicative error structure: Log normal model Assume Y i = e β 0 x β 1 i1 xβ p ip (1 + ɛ i ) } {{ } E(Y i )=:µ i where ɛ i := Y i E(Y i ) E(Y i ) E(ɛ i ) = 0, V ar(ɛ i ) = V ar(y i) E(Y i ) 2 =: σ 2 ln(y i ) = β 0 + β 1 ln x i β p ln x ip + ln(1 + ɛ i ) where E (ln(1 + ɛ i )) = E = E ( ) ln(1 + Y i E(Y i ) E(Y i ) ) ( ) ln( Y i E(Y i ) ) = E(ln(Y i )) ln E(Y } {{ } i ) = σ 2 /2 ln µ i σ2 2 and V ar (ln(1 + ɛ i )) = V ar (ln(y i ) ln E(Y i )) = V ar (ln(y i )) σ 2 c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
6 Consider ln Y i = β 0 + β 1 ln x i β p ln x ip σ2 2 + ɛ i, where ɛ i := ln(1 + ɛ i) + σ2 2 E(ɛ i ) 0, V ar(ɛ i ) σ2 If one assumes ɛ i N(0, σ2 ) i.i.d. and fits the log normal model ln Y i = α 0 + α 1 ln x i α p ln x ip + ɛ i then ˆα 1,..., ˆα p are consistent estimates for β 1,..., β p, but ˆα 0 is biased for β 0 with approx. bias σ 2 /2. c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
7 Original scale: Gamma regression If one wants to work on original scale t β (ln x i ) µ i = E(Y i ) = e β 0x β 1 i1 xβ p ip = e } {{ } η i ln x i := (1, ln(x i1,..., ln(x ip )) t g(µ i ) = ln(µ i ). We need distribution for Y i 0 with E(Y i ) = µ i and V ar(y i ) = σ 2 µ 2 i. Such a distribution is the Gamma distribution, i.e. Y Gamma(ν, λ) with f Y (y) = λ Γ(ν) (λy)ν 1 e λy y 0 E(Y ) = ν λ = µ, V ar(y ) = ν = ( ) ν 2 1 λ 2 λ ν = 1 µ2. }{{} ν =σ 2 c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen

11 Gamma regression as GLM For known ν in Y Gamma(µ, ν) the log likelihood is given by l(µ, ν, y) = (ν 1) log(y) ν µ y + ν log ν ν log µ log Γ(ν) = ν ( yµ log µ ) + c(y, ν) θ = 1/µ, b(θ) = log µ = log( 1/θ) = log( θ) b (θ) = ( 1) θ = 1/θ = µ expectation b (θ) = 1 θ 2 = µ 2 variance function a(φ) = φ, φ = 1/ν dispersion parameter c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen

13 Example: Canadian Automobile Insurance Claims Source: Bailey, R.A. and Simon, LeRoy J. (1960). Two studies in automobile insurance. ASTIN Bulletin, Description: The data give the Canadian automobile insurance experience for policy years 1956 and 1957 as of June 30, The data includes virtually every insurance company operating in Canada and was collated by the Statistical Agency (Canadian Underwriters Association - Statistical Department) acting under instructions from the Superintendent of Insurance. The data given here is for private passenger automobile liability for non-farmers for all of Canada excluding Saskatchewan. The variable Merit measures the number of years since the last claim on the policy. The variable Class is a collation of age, sex, use and marital status. The variables Insured and Premium are two measures of the risk exposure of the insurance companies. c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen

20 Residual deviance test Y i Gamma(µ i, ν) independent µ i = e xt i β (Model (*)) Reject model (*) at level α if Here ˆφ is an estimate of φ. D(y, ˆµ) ˆφ > χ 2 n p,1 α c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
21 Partial deviance test Consider β = (β t 1, β t 2) t β 1 R p 1, β 2 R p 2 ˆµ 1 = fitted mean in reduced model with design X 2 ˆµ 2 = fitted mean in full model with design X 1 and X 2 ˆφ 1 = estimated dispersion parameter in reduced model ˆφ 2 = estimated dispersion parameter in full model The partial deviance test for H 0 : β 1 = 0 versus H 1 : β 1 0 is given by: Reject H 0 at level α D(y, ˆµ 1 ) ˆφ 1 D(y, ˆµ 2 ) ˆφ 2 > χ 2 p 1,1 α c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
22 Canonical link η i = θ i = 1 µ i Since we need µ i > 0 we need η i < 0, which gives restrictions on β. Therefore the canonical link is not often used. Most often the log link is used. c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
23 Estimation of the dispersion parameter For the estimation of the dispersion parameter φ = σ 2 = 1/ν method of moments is used E(Y i ) = µ i V ar(y i ) = φµ 2 i i Z i = Y i µ i has expectation 1, variance φ and is i.i.d. ˆφ = 1 n p n i=1 ( ) 2 Yi ˆµ i 1 = 1 n p n i=1 ( ) 2 Yi ˆµ i ˆµ i since p parameters need to be estimated. Remark: Pearson χ 2 statistic for the gamma regression is given by ˆφ = χ 2 P /(n p). χ 2 P = n i=1 = n i=1 (Y i ˆµ i ) 2 V (ˆµ i ) ( ) 2 Yi ˆµ i ˆµ i V (ˆµ i ) = ˆµ 2 i c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
24 Relationship between gamma regression with log link and a linear model on the log scala For σ 2 = φ small we have V ar(log(y i )) σ 2, therefore we can use log Y i = x t i α + ɛ i ɛ i N(0, σ 2 ) i.i.d. linear model on log scala Cov( ˆα) = σ 2 (X t X) 1. For the gamma regression with Y i Γ(µ i, 1/σ 2 ) and µ i = exp{x t iβ} we have I(ˆβ)) = Fisher information = ˆβ a N(β, I(ˆβ) 1 ), ( E where ( )) 2 l(β) β= β β ˆβ. t c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
25 Here l(β) = 1 σ 2 n E i=1 l(β) β j = 1 σ 2 n i=1 2 l(β) n β s β j = 1 σ 2 ( ) 2 l(β) β s β j i=1 = 1 σ 2 n i=1 I(ˆβ) = 1 σ 2 X t X ( ) y µ i log µ i + const ( yi x ij e xt i β x ij ( ) y ix is x ij e xt i β ) j = 1,..., p x is x ij (independent of β) Cov(ˆβ) σ 2 (X t X) 1 = Cov( ˆα) Distinction between both models is difficult. If X corresponds to an orthogonal design, i.e. (X t X) 1 = I p, we have that the components of ˆα (ˆβ) are (asymptotically) independent. c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
26 Gamma regression with weights Example: Y i = total claim size arising from n i claims in group i with covariates x i. Y i = n i j=1 Y ij ; Y ij = j th claim in group i Y s i := Y i /n i = average claim size in group i If Y ij Gamma(µ i, ν), independent, we have E(Y s i ) = 1 n i n i j=1 E(Y ij ) } {{ } =µ i = µ i V ar(y s i ) = 1 n i V ar(y i1 ) = 1 n i µ 2 i /ν = µ2 i /n iν. c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
27 Since we have n i Y s i = n i j=1 Y ij Gamma(n i µ i, n i ν) Y s i Gamma(µ i, n i ν). This follows since m Y s i (t) := E ( e ty i s ) tn i Yi s = E(e n i 1 ) = (1 n i µ i n i ν t n i ) n i ν = 1 (1 µ i t n i ν )n i ν = m X(t) t, where X Gamma(µ i, n i ν). Therefore we need to introduce weights for a gamma regression for Yi s. Since E(Yi s) = µ i, the EDA for a weighted gamma regression does not change compared to an unweighted one. c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen

30 For estimation of the dispersion parameter σ 2 = φ = 1/ν in a weighted model we use ˆσ 2 = ˆφ = 1 n ( ) 2 Yi ˆµ i n i n p ˆµ i i=1 Residuals: E(Y s i ) = µ i Y i s µ i σ ni µ i = n i σ V ar(yi s) = µ2 i n i ν = µ2 i σ2 n i ( ) Y s i µ i µ i has zero expectation and unit variance i.e. standardized residuals can be defined by r s i := ni σ ( Y s i ) ˆµ i. ˆµ i c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen

38 Example: Gamma Regression (continued): Null Deviance: 1556 on 19 degrees of freedom Residual Deviance: 0 on 0 degrees of freedom Number of Fisher Scoring Iterations: 1 This model is the saturated model since only one observation per cell. Therefore the dispersion estimate can no longer be estimated, since the Pearson Chi Square Statistics is 0. To fit a model with fixed dispersion, use > summary(r.gamma.log.inter,dispersion=1,cor=f) c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen

A partial deviance test when only I((Merit == 2) * (Class == 2)) and I((Merit == 2) * (Class == 3)) are included gives a p-value of.39, thus showing that the interaction effects are not present in this data set. The same results are true when an inverse link is used instead. c (Claudia Czado, TU Munich) ZFS/IMS Göttingen
