Chapter 02: logistic-regression Model¶

1. Introduction¶

Solomon and Wynne conducted an experiment on Dogs in 1953 . They wanted to understand, whether Dogs can learn from mistakes, so to speak. Specifically, they were interested in avoidance-learning. That is, when Dogs are given trauma-inducing shocks, will they learn to avoid shocks in future?

We can state the objectives of the expeirment, according to our understanding, in more general terms as follows:

Can the Dogs learn?
Can they retain & recollect what they learnt?

The experimental setup, to drive the objectives, holds a dog in a closed compartment with steel flooring, open on one side with a small barrier for dog to jump over to the other side. A high-voltage electric shock is discharged into the steel floor intermittently to stimulate the dog. The dog is then left with an option to either get the shock for that trial or jump over the barrier to the other side & save himself. Several dogs were recruited in the experiment.

The following picture (source) is an illustration of the setup.

dog_setup

More details of the experiment can be found here.

In this chapter, we will re-analyze the experimental data using Bayesian Analysis, and the inference will be carried out in Pyro.

Recapitulating, we want to model the relationship between avoidance-in-future and past-traumatic-experiences . The following log-linear model is a starting point:

\(\pi_j = A^{xj} B^{j-xj} \)

where :

\(\pi_j\) is the probability of a dog getting shocked at trial \(j\).
\(x_j\) is number of successful avoidances of shock prior to trial \(j\).
\(j-x_j\) is number of shocks experienced prior to trial \(j\).
A & B, both are unknown and treated as random variables.

However, instead of using an exp link function as we did in the previous chapter, we will use a sigmoid link function. Time for some boilder plate and preliminary EDA.

Data¶

The data contains experiments over 30 dogs and each dog is subjected to 25 trials.

The plot that follows highlights Dogs data in dictionary format, averaged over dog population for each trial, i.e., \(y_j = \frac{1}{30}\sum{y_{ij}}\) where \(y_{ij}\) is the i-th Dog’s response at the j-th trial.

dogs_data = base.load_data()
base.plot_original_y(1-np.mean(dogs_data["Y"], axis=0), ylabel='Probability of shock at trial j', mode_type="lines+markers")

Its apparent from experimental data that more than half the dog population learns to avoid shocks in trials as few as 5, and also that the learning doesn’t significantly rise with increased number of trials.

Preprocessing¶

Next, we need to transform raw data to obtain:

x_avoidance : number of shock avoidances before current trial.
x_shocked : number of shocks before current trial.
y : status ‘shocked (y=1) or avoided(y=0)’ at current trial.

Here pystan format data (python dictionary) is passed to the function above, in order to preprocess it to the tensor format required for pyro sampling.

x_avoidance, x_shocked, y = base.transform_data(**dogs_data)
print("x_avoidance: %s, x_shocked: %s, y: %s"%(x_avoidance.shape, x_shocked.shape, y.shape))
print("\nSample x_avoidance: %s \n\nSample x_shocked: %s"%(x_avoidance[1], x_shocked[1]))

base.plot_original_y(x_avoidance.numpy(), ylabel='Cumulative Avoidances', mode_type="lines+markers")
base.plot_original_y(x_shocked.numpy(), ylabel='Cumulative Shocked Trials', mode_type="lines+markers")

x_avoidance: torch.Size([30, 25]), x_shocked: torch.Size([30, 25]), y: torch.Size([30, 25])

Sample x_avoidance: tensor([0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.,
        1., 1., 1., 1., 2., 2., 3.]) 

Sample x_shocked: tensor([ 0.,  1.,  2.,  3.,  4.,  5.,  6.,  7.,  8.,  8.,  9., 10., 11., 12.,
        13., 14., 15., 16., 17., 18., 19., 20., 20., 21., 21.])

The original data is not revealing much; looking at the cumulative avoidances and shocks, we see that some dogs never learn (example: Dog 1-4), and some dogs learn and retain the learning behaviour (example: Dog 25-30).

2. Model Specification¶

The sampling distrution of the generative model, as indicated earlier, is:

\(y_{ij} \sim Bern(\pi_{ij})\)
\(\pi_{ij} = \sigma(\alpha x_{ij} + \beta({j-x_{ij}}))\)

Here, \(y_{ij}=1\) if the a dog fails to avoid a shock at the j-th trial, and is 0 if it avoids. Further, \(\sigma(x) = \frac{1}{1 - e^{-x}}\), is the usual sigmoid function.

We elicit normal priors for \(\alpha,\beta\) with zero mean and large variance (flat) to complete the specification. Also notice that, the above model is in a more familiar form (Generalized Linear Model or Log-Linear Model). For convenience, we can define \(X_{a}\equiv x_{ij}, X_{s}\equiv j-x_{ij} \)

The complete model is:

\(y_{ij} \sim Bern(\pi_{ij})\)
\(\pi_{ij} = \sigma( \alpha X_{a} + \beta X_{s})\)

\(\alpha \sim N(0., 316.)\)
\(\beta \sim N(0., 316.)\)

Unlike in chapter 01 we experiment with the slight variations of the above models as follow:

Model A.
\(y_{ij} \sim Bern(\pi_{ij})\)
\(\pi_{ij} = \sigma (\alpha X_{a} + \beta X_{s})\)

\(\alpha \sim N(0., 316.)\)
\(\beta \sim N(0., 316.)\)

Model B.
\(y_{ij} \sim Bern(\pi_{ij})\)
\(\pi_{ij} = \sigma(\alpha X_{a} + \beta X_{s})\)

\(\alpha \sim U(-30.78, 30.78)\)
\(\beta \sim U(-30.78, 30.78)\)

The above expression is used as a generalised linear model with logisitc-link function in WinBugs implementation

Model implementation¶

The above models are defined in base.DogsModel

DogsModel= base.DogsModel

DogsModel

<function chapter02.base.DogsModel(x_avoidance, x_shocked, y, alpha_prior=None, beta_prior=None, activation='exp')>

Let us also draw few samples from the prior, and look at the distribution

num_samples = 1100 

alpha_prior_a, beta_prior_a= base.init_priors({"default":dist.Normal(0., 316.)})# Pass Normal priors for model A
prior_samples_a = base.get_prior_samples(alpha_prior_a, beta_prior_a, num_samples=num_samples)

alpha_prior_b, beta_prior_b= base.init_priors({"default":dist.Uniform(-30.78,30.78)})# Pass uniform priors for model B
prior_samples_b = base.get_prior_samples(alpha_prior_b, beta_prior_b, num_samples=num_samples)

Sampled output of prior values for \(\alpha\) & \(\beta\) are stored in prior_samples above, and are plotted on a KDE plot as follows:

base.plot_prior_distributions(model_normal_a= prior_samples_a, model_uniform_b= prior_samples_b)

For model 'model_normal_a' Prior alpha Q(0.5) :13.435971736907959 | Prior beta Q(0.5) :22.337939262390137

                                                                                            model_uniform_b= prior_samples_b)

Even though the mean and median can differ from run to run, looking at the densities, the variance is vary large – so the sample mean would also have huge variance. The take-away is that, both \(\alpha, \beta\) are given very weak priors. We more or less rely on the data (evidence) to drive their estimation.

TBD: Prior Sensitivity Analysis

4. Posterior Estimation¶

In the Bayesian setting, inference is drawn from the posterior. Here, posterior implies the updated beliefs about the random variables, in the wake of given evidences (data). Formally,

\(Posterior = \frac {Likelihood x Prior}{Probability \ of Evidence}\)

In our case, \(\alpha,\beta\) are the parameters (actually random variables) & \(y\) is the evidence; According to the Bayes rule, Posterior \(P(\alpha,\beta | y)\) is given as:

\(P\ (\alpha,\beta | y) = \frac {P(y | \alpha,\beta) \pi(\alpha,\beta)}{P(y)}\)

Now our interest is in estimating the posterior summaries of the parameters \(\alpha, \beta\). For example, we can look at the posterior of mean of \(\alpha\), denoted as \(E(\alpha)\). However, in order to the get the posterior quanitities, either we need to compute the integrals or approximate the integrals via Markov Chain Monte Carlo.

The latter can be easily accomplished in Pyro by using the NUTS sampler – NUTS is a specific sampler designed to draw samples efficiently from the posterior using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo dynamics.

The following code snippet takes a pyro model object with – posterior specification, input data, some configuration parameters such as a number of chains and number of samples per chain. It then launches a NUTS sampler and produces MCMC samples in a python dictionary format.

5. MCMC Diagnostics¶

Diagnosing the computational approximation

Just like any numerical technique, no matter how good the theory is or how robust the implementation is, it is always a good idea to check if indeed the samples drawn are reasonable. In the ideal situation, we expect the samples drawn by the sampler to be independant, and identically distributed (i.i.d) as the posterior distribution. In practice, this is far from true as MCMC itself is an approximate technique and a lot can go wrong. In particular, chains may not have converged or samples are very correlated. We can divide diagnosis into three sections.

Burn-in: What is the effect of initialization? By visually inspecting the chains, we can notice the transient behaviour. We can drop the first “n” number of samples from the chain.
Thinning: What is the intra chain correlation? We can use ACF (Auto-correlation function) to inspect it. A rule of thumb is, thin the chains such that, the ACF drops to \(1/10^{th}\). Here, ACF drops to less than 0.1 at lag 5, then we retain only every \(5^{th}\) sample in the chain.
Mixing: Visually, all the chains, when plotted, should be indistinguishable from each other. At a very broad level, the means of the chains and variances shall be close. These are the two central moments we can track easily and turn them into Gelman-Rubin statistic. Other summmary statistics can be tracked, of course.

We can use both visual and more formal statistical techniques to inspect the quality of the fit (not the model fit to the data, but how well the approximation is, having accepted the model class for the data at hand) by treating chains as time-series data, and that we can run several chains in parallel. We precisely do that next.

Following snippet allows plotting Parameter vs. Chain matrix and optionally saving the dataframe.
