Can I extract significane values for Logistic Regression coefficients in pyspark


Is there a way to get the significance level of each coefficient we receive after we fit a logistic regression model on training data?

I was trying to find out a way and could not figure out myself.

I think I may get the significance level of each feature if I run chi sq test but first of all not sure if I can run the test on all features together and secondly I have numeric data value so if it will give me right result or not that remains a question as well.

Right now I am running the modeling part using statsmodel and scikit learn but certainly, want to know, how can I get these results from PySpark ML or MLLib itself

If anyone can shed some light, it will be helpful


Solution

  • I use only mllib, I think that when you train a model you can use toPMML method to export your model un PMML format (xml file), then you can parse the xml file to get features weights, here an example

    Hope that will help
