The distribution of gamma problems | Looking at the data science

Which age after?
Here is a standard situation: A / B test is done, when a random sample is selected (eg 'to communicate and “B” cannot be communicating or offered. “B” can be 20 %. Two groups, two different treatments, where and B will be two bad, but without losing production is 2 more treatment and continuous treatment.
Therefore, the campaign is running and the results are made available. For our background program, we can track the units to the interest of interest (eg purchase) and that did not. Furthermore, our actions, strengthening them. The general situation is that we can track the purchase price for those purchased. This is usually called the average order number or income of each buyer. Or a hundred different words mean all the same – for those purchased, how much do they spend, on average?
In some cases of use, the marker is interested in the previous time – the amount of purchase. For example, are we driving more (the first time) consumers in our adoptive or B campaign is or b? Sometimes, we are interested in driving an adult buyer so we emphasize this.
Generally, we desire to drive income effectively for costs and what we really are being produced by the campaign nourishing. Is the treatment a or B call a lot of money? We do not live in size with the size (perhaps because of costs or to avoid risk) so we divide high amounts of students treated in each group (call these statistics n_a and N_B). We want to compare this amount between the two groups, so the general difference is just:
This is the exact treatment of treatment Minus Atsen Revenue Revenue for the Treatment B, where that is taken throughout the collection of equipment, regardless. Its interpretation is straight – what is the center of the growth of each treatment unit in a protective treatment B?
Of course, this final amount of its two: Answer rate has been repelled with a direct income with each respondent.
Uncertainty?
Spending money to a consumer is very flexible and has a few treatment for one treatment team or another can be said that is very important. Similarly, sample variations can be important. Therefore, we want to understand how confidence we are in this way is compared to the “Importance” difference.
Therefore, you drop information on T test and look at the P. But wait! Unfortunately to the manager, most of the time, the amount of purchase is low (sometimes low) is why there is no number of Zero Revenue – often most. Implementation of T test may be violently violated. The biggest big sized sizes may be saved, but there is a way that has many goals to analyze this useful data in many ways, which will be explained.
Data Example
Let's start with sample data to make things work. One of the popular trademarks are from the KDD Cup 98.
url="
filename="cup98LRN.txt"
r = requests.get(url)
z = zipfile.ZipFile(io.BytesIO(r.content))
z.extractall()
pdf_data = pd.read_csv(filename, sep=',')
pdf_data = pdf_data.query('TARGET_D >=0')
pdf_data['TREATMENT'] = np.where(pdf_data.RFA_2F >1,'A','B')
pdf_data['TREATED'] = np.where(pdf_data.RFA_2F >1,1,0)
pdf_data['GT_0'] = np.where(pdf_data.TARGET_D >0,1,0)
pdf_data = pdf_data[['TREATMENT', 'TREATED', 'GT_0', 'TARGET_D']]
In the Snippet of the above code we download the ZIP file (direct learning data), to remove it and read it into the Data Data Frame. Type of Dataset is a campaign of a campaign from a nonprofit organization that was specifically seeking donations. There is no medical diversity within this data, so we pretend to be part and separate information based on previous contributions. We call this indicator Treatment (like grinding and creating Treated as a binary indicator of 'A'). Consider the results of the random control test when part of the sample was treated with the offer and the remainder were not. We track each person and we collect the value of their offering.
Therefore, when we examine this data, we see that about 95,000 people are encouraged, often quickly distributed to all two treatment options:

Treatment A large amount of response but general the amount of response to data is only 5%. Therefore, we have 95% zeros.

For those who have donated, treatment seems to be associated with the low amount of donation.

Integrate to everyone who is directed, treatments seem to be associated with the high value of donation – the highest number of response exceeds the minimum donor of respondents- but not much.

Finally, the histogram of the amount of donor is displayed here, is included in both treatment, showing the weight in Zero and Skew.

Summary of two groups of groups, reaching the above-mentioned complaint – while treatment seems to be conducted by the highest answer, those managed by a slightly offered. The net of these two steps, which will end in the background – what is meant by each contribution – it seems that we have confidence that we find the topic of this analysis.

GAMMA barrier
One way to model this data and respond to our question in the chapters between two treatment options for each targeted unit with the distribution of Gamma Hards. It is like zero known over the zero innated Poisson (zip) or the distribution of NB (zinb) work.

Here Π represents Y's unique annual Y> 0. In other words of its opportunities Gamma. Similarly, (1 π) is an opportunity for random variation by zero. According to our problem, this is about that the donation may be made and if so, it is appropriate.
Let us start with components of using this distribution of reinstatement – the logical postponement and gamma planning.
Logistic restoration
Activity to log in, related to log -dds in the Linear's flexible compound, which is one variables such as our binary treatment index, looks like:

When π represents the result that “good” effect (identified as 1) such as purchasing and (1-π) such as purchases and (1-π). In addition, π is part of Qty in the above, described by an internal access function:

The two best betas prices of betas increase the chances of data (result y) – what is thought of the NII recognition by:

We can use any libraries quickly equal to this model but will show PYMC as a way to create simple remusion of Boutese.
In addition to some common steps of Balesis, we are equal to the simple model using MCMC.
import pymc as pm
import arviz as az
from scipy.special import expit
with pm.Model() as logistic_model:
# noninformative priors
intercept = pm.Normal('intercept', 0, sigma=10)
beta_treat = pm.Normal('beta_treat', 0, sigma=10)
# linear combination of the treated variable
# through the inverse logit to squish the linear predictor between 0 and 1
p = pm.invlogit(intercept + beta_treat * pdf_data.TREATED)
# Individual level binary variable (respond or not)
pm.Bernoulli(name="logit", p=p, observed=pdf_data.GT_0)
idata = pm.sample(nuts_sampler="numpyro")
az.summary(idata, var_names=['intercept', 'beta_treat'])

If we create two treatment differences reflect the response amount, we find that as expected, the Section Rate of Test Response 0.026 Tample 94% of (0.024, 0.029, 0.029).
# create a new column in the posterior which contrasts Treatment A - B
idata.posterior['TREATMENT A - TREATMENT B'] = expit(idata.posterior.intercept + idata.posterior.beta_treat) - expit(idata.posterior.intercept)
az.plot_posterior(
idata,
var_names=['TREATMENT A - TREATMENT B']
)

Gamma restoration
The following part of the Gamma's and one of its operatric operations of the Density Corporation, as indicated above:

This distribution is defined by the random variation and when it is used in business such as costs, customer spending and insurance claim prices and insurance prices.
Since the gamma variations are defined in accordance with α and β β:

Gamma renewal, we can make pipes with α and β or μ and μs and μma. If we make μ μ μ μ

The Gamma Regression Model model takes (in this case, the unusual link is another normal option) LOG link is intended “synchronization” relationships between predictive results:

After the same way and in response level, we balance the dataset only to respondents and agree to the return of Gamma using the PYMC.
with pm.Model() as gamma_model:
# noninformative priors
intercept = pm.Normal('intercept', 0, sigma=10)
beta_treat = pm.Normal('beta_treat', 0, sigma=10)
shape = pm.HalfNormal('shape', 5)
# linear combination of the treated variable
# through the exp to ensure the linear predictor is positive
mu = pm.Deterministic('mu',pm.math.exp(intercept + beta_treat * pdf_responders.TREATED))
# Individual level binary variable (respond or not)
pm.Gamma(name="gamma", alpha = shape, beta = shape/mu, observed=pdf_responders.TARGET_D)
idata = pm.sample(nuts_sampler="numpyro")
az.summary(idata, var_names=['intercept', 'beta_treat'])

# create a new column in the posterior which contrasts Treatment A - B
idata.posterior['TREATMENT A - TREATMENT B'] = np.exp(idata.posterior.intercept + idata.posterior.beta_treat) - np.exp(idata.posterior.intercept)
az.plot_posterior(
idata,
var_names=['TREATMENT A - TREATMENT B']
)

Also, as expected, we see the exalted meaning that treatment is not the expected amount equal to the amount of7.8. Time of 94% (-8.3, -7.3).
Parts, response level and the number of between each of the respondents shown above simple as we can find. However, its specific extension to add more forecasts to 1) measured the effects of the treatment (Cate) when we expect the treatment is different from part or 2) reduce the variable of central treatment.
Skin Model (Gamma) REGRISION
During this time, it should be specific exactly to see where development. Fund model, we have a conditional opportunity, depends on the view of something in 0 or greater than zero, as shown above the distribution of Gamma Hards. We can fit the two elements of the elements (Lociics and Gamma Regcription) at the same time. We find free, their product, which is our example to estimate the amount of service to each target.
It would not be difficult to fit in this model using opportunities for the change in change to the number of effects, but the PMC has provided this.
import pymc as pm
import arviz as az
with pm.Model() as hurdle_model:
## noninformative priors ##
# logistic
intercept_lr = pm.Normal('intercept_lr', 0, sigma=5)
beta_treat_lr = pm.Normal('beta_treat_lr', 0, sigma=1)
# gamma
intercept_gr = pm.Normal('intercept_gr', 0, sigma=5)
beta_treat_gr = pm.Normal('beta_treat_gr', 0, sigma=1)
# alpha
shape = pm.HalfNormal('shape', 1)
## mean functions of predictors ##
p = pm.Deterministic('p', pm.invlogit(intercept_lr + beta_treat_lr * pdf_data.TREATED))
mu = pm.Deterministic('mu',pm.math.exp(intercept_gr + beta_treat_gr * pdf_data.TREATED))
## likliehood ##
# psi is pi
pm.HurdleGamma(name="hurdlegamma", psi=p, alpha = shape, beta = shape/mu, observed=pdf_data.TARGET_D)
idata = pm.sample(cores = 10)
When we examine a trace summary, we see that the results are exactly like both models.

As noted, what the Gamma Hurse distribution is to π * μ so that we can create a difference:
# create a new column in the posterior which contrasts Treatment A - B
idata.posterior['TREATMENT A - TREATMENT B'] = ((expit(idata.posterior.intercept_lr + idata.posterior.beta_treat_lr))* np.exp(idata.posterior.intercept_gr + idata.posterior.beta_treat_gr)) -
((expit(idata.posterior.intercept_lr))* np.exp(idata.posterior.intercept_gr))
az.plot_posterior(
idata,
var_names=['TREATMENT A - TREATMENT B']
The expected amount of this model is 0.043 in a valid 94% of 94% of (-0.0069, 0.092). We can investigate the questions after seeing which contribution contribution has been foretold for over a treatment of a tactful decisions of our case – including margins and costs).

Notes: Animation includes cold Gamma Model Model in a different way where the zero π and is why the meaning of Gamma Hard replacing (1 π). And be careful that during writing when it looks like there is a problem with the pymc nuts and had to return to the use of the default Python.
Summary
In this way, we find differences in both models and more than additional benefits of the third metric. Types these types of PMC allows all Bayesian analysis benefits – including previous domain injections and the full number of the full response and selects uncertainty!
