mlflow.statsmodels

The mlflow.statsmodels module provides an API for logging and loading statsmodels models. This module exports statsmodels models with the following flavors:

statsmodels (native) format

This is the main flavor that can be loaded back into statsmodels, which relies on pickle internally to serialize a model.

mlflow.pyfunc

Produced for use by generic pyfunc-based deployment tools and batch inference.

class mlflow.statsmodels.AutologHelpers[source]

Bases: object

should_autolog = True
mlflow.statsmodels.autolog(log_models=True, log_datasets=True, disable=False, exclusive=False, disable_for_unsupported_versions=False, silent=False, registered_model_name=None, extra_tags=None)[source]

Note

Autologging is known to be compatible with the following package versions: 0.11.1 <= statsmodels <= 0.14.1. Autologging may not succeed when used with package versions outside of this range.

Enables (or disables) and configures automatic logging from statsmodels to MLflow. Logs the following:

  • allowlisted metrics returned by method fit of any subclass of statsmodels.base.model.Model, the allowlisted metrics including: aic, bic, centered_tss, condition_number, df_model, df_resid, ess, f_pvalue, fvalue, llf, mse_model, mse_resid, mse_total, rsquared, rsquared_adj, scale, ssr, uncentered_tss

  • trained model.

  • an html artifact which shows the model summary.

Parameters
  • log_models – If True, trained models are logged as MLflow model artifacts. If False, trained models are not logged. Input examples and model signatures, which are attributes of MLflow models, are also omitted when log_models is False.

  • log_datasets – If True, dataset information is logged to MLflow Tracking. If False, dataset information is not logged.

  • disable – If True, disables the statsmodels autologging integration. If False, enables the statsmodels autologging integration.

  • exclusive – If True, autologged content is not logged to user-created fluent runs. If False, autologged content is logged to the active fluent run, which may be user-created.

  • disable_for_unsupported_versions – If True, disable autologging for versions of statsmodels that have not been tested against this version of the MLflow client or are incompatible.

  • silent – If True, suppress all event logs and warnings from MLflow during statsmodels autologging. If False, show all events and warnings during statsmodels autologging.

  • registered_model_name – If given, each time a model is trained, it is registered as a new model version of the registered model with this name. The registered model is created if it does not already exist.

  • extra_tags – A dictionary of extra tags to set on each managed run created by autologging.

mlflow.statsmodels.get_default_conda_env()[source]
Returns

The default Conda environment for MLflow Models produced by calls to save_model() and log_model().

mlflow.statsmodels.get_default_pip_requirements()[source]
Returns

A list of default pip requirements for MLflow Models produced by this flavor. Calls to save_model() and log_model() produce a pip environment that, at minimum, contains these requirements.

mlflow.statsmodels.load_model(model_uri, dst_path=None)[source]

Load a statsmodels model from a local file or a run.

Parameters
  • model_uri

    The location, in URI format, of the MLflow model. For example:

    • /Users/me/path/to/local/model

    • relative/path/to/local/model

    • s3://my_bucket/path/to/model

    • runs:/<mlflow_run_id>/run-relative/path/to/model

    For more information about supported URI schemes, see Referencing Artifacts.

  • dst_path – The local filesystem path to which to download the model artifact. This directory must already exist. If unspecified, a local output path will be created.

Returns

A statsmodels model (an instance of statsmodels.base.model.Results).

mlflow.statsmodels.log_model(statsmodels_model, artifact_path, conda_env=None, code_paths=None, registered_model_name=None, remove_data: bool = False, signature: mlflow.models.signature.ModelSignature = None, input_example: Union[pandas.core.frame.DataFrame, numpy.ndarray, dict, list, csr_matrix, csc_matrix, str, bytes, tuple] = None, await_registration_for=300, pip_requirements=None, extra_pip_requirements=None, metadata=None, **kwargs)[source]

Log a statsmodels model as an MLflow artifact for the current run.

Parameters
  • statsmodels_model – statsmodels model (an instance of statsmodels.base.model.Results) to be saved.

  • artifact_path – Run-relative artifact path.

  • conda_env

    Either a dictionary representation of a Conda environment or the path to a conda environment yaml file. If provided, this describes the environment this model should be run in. At a minimum, it should specify the dependencies contained in get_default_conda_env(). If None, a conda environment with pip requirements inferred by mlflow.models.infer_pip_requirements() is added to the model. If the requirement inference fails, it falls back to using get_default_pip_requirements(). pip requirements from conda_env are written to a pip requirements.txt file and the full conda environment is written to conda.yaml. The following is an example dictionary representation of a conda environment:

    {
        "name": "mlflow-env",
        "channels": ["conda-forge"],
        "dependencies": [
            "python=3.8.15",
            {
                "pip": [
                    "statsmodels==x.y.z"
                ],
            },
        ],
    }
    

  • code_paths – A list of local filesystem paths to Python file dependencies (or directories containing file dependencies). These files are prepended to the system path when the model is loaded.

  • registered_model_name – If given, create a model version under registered_model_name, also creating a registered model if one with the given name does not exist.

  • remove_data – bool. If False (default), then the instance is pickled without changes. If True, then all arrays with length nobs are set to None before pickling. See the remove_data method. In some cases not all arrays will be set to None.

  • signature

    an instance of the ModelSignature class that describes the model’s inputs and outputs. If not specified but an input_example is supplied, a signature will be automatically inferred based on the supplied input example and model. To disable automatic signature inference when providing an input example, set signature to False. To manually infer a model signature, call infer_signature() on datasets with valid model inputs, such as a training dataset with the target column omitted, and valid model outputs, like model predictions made on the training dataset, for example:

    from mlflow.models import infer_signature
    
    train = df.drop_column("target_label")
    predictions = ...  # compute model predictions
    signature = infer_signature(train, predictions)
    

  • input_example – one or several instances of valid model input. The input example is used as a hint of what data to feed the model. It will be converted to a Pandas DataFrame and then serialized to json using the Pandas split-oriented format, or a numpy array where the example will be serialized to json by converting it to a list. Bytes are base64-encoded. When the signature parameter is None, the input example is used to infer a model signature.

  • await_registration_for – Number of seconds to wait for the model version to finish being created and is in READY status. By default, the function waits for five minutes. Specify 0 or None to skip waiting.

  • pip_requirements – Either an iterable of pip requirement strings (e.g. ["statsmodels", "-r requirements.txt", "-c constraints.txt"]) or the string path to a pip requirements file on the local filesystem (e.g. "requirements.txt"). If provided, this describes the environment this model should be run in. If None, a default list of requirements is inferred by mlflow.models.infer_pip_requirements() from the current software environment. If the requirement inference fails, it falls back to using get_default_pip_requirements(). Both requirements and constraints are automatically parsed and written to requirements.txt and constraints.txt files, respectively, and stored as part of the model. Requirements are also written to the pip section of the model’s conda environment (conda.yaml) file.

  • extra_pip_requirements

    Either an iterable of pip requirement strings (e.g. ["pandas", "-r requirements.txt", "-c constraints.txt"]) or the string path to a pip requirements file on the local filesystem (e.g. "requirements.txt"). If provided, this describes additional pip requirements that are appended to a default set of pip requirements generated automatically based on the user’s current software environment. Both requirements and constraints are automatically parsed and written to requirements.txt and constraints.txt files, respectively, and stored as part of the model. Requirements are also written to the pip section of the model’s conda environment (conda.yaml) file.

    Warning

    The following arguments can’t be specified at the same time:

    • conda_env

    • pip_requirements

    • extra_pip_requirements

    This example demonstrates how to specify pip requirements using pip_requirements and extra_pip_requirements.

  • metadata

    Custom metadata dictionary passed to the model and stored in the MLmodel file.

    Note

    Experimental: This parameter may change or be removed in a future release without warning.

Returns

A ModelInfo instance that contains the metadata of the logged model.

mlflow.statsmodels.save_model(statsmodels_model, path, conda_env=None, code_paths=None, mlflow_model=None, remove_data: bool = False, signature: mlflow.models.signature.ModelSignature = None, input_example: Union[pandas.core.frame.DataFrame, numpy.ndarray, dict, list, csr_matrix, csc_matrix, str, bytes, tuple] = None, pip_requirements=None, extra_pip_requirements=None, metadata=None)[source]
