# scikits.statsmodels.family.family.Family

class `scikits.statsmodels.family.family.``Family`(link, variance)

  The parent class for one-parameter exponential families.

  Parameters: | link : a link function instance Link is the linear transformation function. See the individual families for available links. variance : a variance function Measures the variance as a function of the mean probabilities. See the individual families for the default variance function.

  Methods

  `deviance`(Y, mu[, scale]) | Deviance of (Y,mu) pair.
  `devresid`(Y, mu) | The deviance residuals
  `fitted`(eta) | Fitted values based on linear predictors eta.
  `loglike`(Y, mu[, scale]) | The loglikelihood function.
  `predict`(mu) | Linear predictors based on given mu values.
  `resid_anscombe`(Y, mu) | The Anscome residuals.
  `starting_mu`(y) | Starting value for mu in the IRLS algorithm.
  `weights`(mu) | Weights for IRLS steps
