pymmeans — the showcase

The missing post-estimation layer for Python.

Estimated marginal means (EMMs), pairwise contrasts with the full multiplicity-adjustment menu (Tukey, exact Dunnett, Šidák, Bonferroni, Holm, FDR, mvt), small-sample mixed-model inference (Kenward-Roger, Satterthwaite, parametric-bootstrap LRT), and prediction-surface averaging for any model with a .predict() method — under one R-emmeans-compatible API.

This showcase drives every analytical surface in pymmeans through one coherent question: how should we summarise a fitted model so the reader gets a publication-ready table?

Prerequisites: this notebook uses the tutorial (for pysofra table prettification) and parallel (for joblib-powered parametric bootstrap) extras. Install everything via:

pip install "pymmeans[plot,parallel,tutorial]"

Part I — Linear-model EMMs on warpbreaks

Question: what is the predicted break count at every cell of a 2 × 3 factorial design — and which tension levels differ from each other?

The warpbreaks dataset is the canonical worked example in the R emmeans literature: counts of warp breaks in fabric, by wool type (A or B) and tension level (L, M, H). We fit the same OLS model R emmeans uses, then walk through marginal means, pairwise contrasts, and the compact letter display in turn.

wb = get_rdataset("warpbreaks").data
ps.tbl_summary(wb, by="wool", variables=["breaks", "tension"])

Characteristic	A N = 27	B N = 27
breaks	31.04 (15.85)	25.26 (9.30)
tension
H	9 (33.3%)	9 (33.3%)
L	9 (33.3%)	9 (33.3%)
M	9 (33.3%)	9 (33.3%)
Mean (SD) for continuous variables. n (%) for categorical variables.

fit_wb = smf.ols("breaks ~ wool * tension", data=wb).fit()

I.a — Estimated marginal means

emmeans(fit, "tension", by="wool") returns the predicted breaks at every cell of the tension × wool grid, averaged in the EMM sense (equal-weight over the levels of factors not named in the call).

em_wb = emmeans(fit_wb, "tension", by="wool")
(em_wb.frame.style
    .format({"emmean": "{:.2f}", "SE": "{:.2f}", "df": "{:.0f}",
             "lower_cl": "{:.2f}", "upper_cl": "{:.2f}"})
    .hide(axis="index")
    .set_caption("EMM of breaks by tension within wool"))

EMM of breaks by tension within wool

I.b — Pairwise contrasts with Tukey HSD

Within each wool level, which tension levels differ? pairs(em) produces all $k(k-1)/2$ pairwise differences with the requested multiplicity adjustment.

pr_wb = pairs(em_wb, adjust="tukey")
(pr_wb.frame.style
    .format({"estimate": "{:.2f}", "SE": "{:.2f}", "df": "{:.0f}",
             "t_ratio": "{:.2f}", "p_value": "{:.4f}"})

    .set_caption("Pairwise Tukey contrasts of tension within wool"))

I.c — Compact letter display

When reporting in a paper, the compact letter display (CLD) is often more readable than the full pairwise matrix: levels that share a letter are not significantly different at the chosen $\alpha$.

cld_wb = cld(emmeans(fit_wb, "tension"))
(cld_wb.style
    .format({"emmean": "{:.2f}", "SE": "{:.2f}", "df": "{:.0f}",
             "lower_cl": "{:.2f}", "upper_cl": "{:.2f}"})
    .hide(axis="index")
    .set_caption("Compact letter display: tension means"))

ax = plot(em_wb)
ax.set_title("warpbreaks: EMMs of breaks by tension and wool")
plt.show()

Part II — Multiplicity adjustments

Question: with multiple pairwise comparisons in one table, which adjustments are honest — and how do their p-values differ?

pymmeans implements the full R emmeans adjustment menu: Tukey HSD, exact Dunnett (via the multivariate-$t$ cumulative distribution function), Šidák, Bonferroni, Holm, false-discovery rate, and the generic mvt integral. The point estimates and SEs are invariant to the choice of adjustment; only the p-values and CI half-widths shift.

em_tension = emmeans(fit_wb, "tension")
rows = []
for adj in ["tukey", "sidak", "bonferroni", "holm"]:
    pr = pairs(em_tension, adjust=adj).frame.assign(adjust=adj)
    rows.append(pr[["adjust", "contrast", "estimate", "SE", "t_ratio", "p_value"]])
comparison = pd.concat(rows, ignore_index=True)
(comparison.style
    .format({"estimate": "{:.2f}", "SE": "{:.2f}",
             "t_ratio": "{:.2f}", "p_value": "{:.4f}"})
    .hide(axis="index")
    .set_caption("Same contrasts, four multiplicity adjustments"))

Same contrasts, four multiplicity adjustments

adjust	contrast	estimate	SE	t_ratio	p_value
tukey	H - L	-14.72	3.65	-4.04	0.0006
tukey	H - M	-4.72	3.65	-1.29	0.4049
tukey	L - M	10.00	3.65	2.74	0.0229
sidak	H - L	-14.72	3.65	-4.04	0.0006
sidak	H - M	-4.72	3.65	-1.29	0.4910
sidak	L - M	10.00	3.65	2.74	0.0254
bonferroni	H - L	-14.72	3.65	-4.04	0.0006
bonferroni	H - M	-4.72	3.65	-1.29	0.6046
bonferroni	L - M	10.00	3.65	2.74	0.0257
holm	H - L	-14.72	3.65	-4.04	0.0006
holm	H - M	-4.72	3.65	-1.29	0.2015
holm	L - M	10.00	3.65	2.74	0.0171

Tukey is the standard for pairwise comparisons of $k > 2$ levels (it integrates the studentised-range distribution exactly). Šidák is mildly more conservative; Bonferroni more conservative still. Holm is a step-down procedure that adapts to the number of rejections. All four agree on the qualitative conclusion on warpbreaks: low tension differs from medium and high, while medium and high do not differ from each other.

Part III — Generalised linear models: logistic regression

Question: how do EMMs work when the link function is not the identity, and how do we back-transform to the response scale?

Logistic regression returns log-odds; the reader usually wants probabilities. EMMs default to the link scale (log-odds for the logit link); passing type="response" applies the inverse link and propagates the SE via the delta method. Bias-adjusted back-transforms are available for log-link models — see Section 2.5 of the manuscript.

n = 300
df_log = pd.DataFrame({
    "treatment": rng.choice(["placebo", "low", "high"], n),
    "age":       rng.uniform(30, 75, n),
})
logits = (
    df_log["treatment"].map({"placebo": -1.0, "low": -0.2, "high": 0.8})
    + 0.02 * (df_log["age"] - 50)
)
df_log["event"] = (rng.uniform(0, 1, n) < 1 / (1 + np.exp(-logits))).astype(int)

fit_log = smf.logit("event ~ treatment + age", data=df_log).fit(disp=False)
ps.tbl_regression(fit_log, exponentiate=True, digits=2).set_caption("Logistic fit (odds ratios)")

em_resp = emmeans(fit_log, "treatment", type="response")

stacked = pd.concat([
    em_link.frame.assign(scale="link (log-odds)"),
    em_resp.frame.assign(scale="response (probability)"),
])[["scale", "treatment", "emmean", "SE", "lower_cl", "upper_cl"]]

Part IV — Mixed models: Kenward-Roger + Satterthwaite

Question: how do you get honest small-sample degrees of freedom for a fixed effect in a linear mixed model?

Linear mixed models with random effects have no exact small-sample distribution for the fixed-effect $t$-statistic. R lmerTest (Satterthwaite df) and R pbkrtest (Kenward-Roger df + adjusted vcov) close that gap; pymmeans ports both, with floating-point parity against the R reference (Part VII). The canonical sleepstudy example uses random slopes per subject across days of sleep deprivation.

sleep = get_rdataset("sleepstudy", "lme4").data
fit_rs = mlm.MixedLM.from_formula(
    "Reaction ~ Days", groups="Subject", re_formula="~ Days", data=sleep,
).fit(reml=True)

em_wald = emmeans(fit_rs, "Days", at={"Days": [0, 5, 9]})
em_satt = apply_satterthwaite(em_wald)
em_kr   = apply_kenward_roger(em_wald)

side = pd.concat([
    em_wald.frame.assign(method="Wald (df = ∞)"),
    em_satt.frame.assign(method="Satterthwaite"),
    em_kr.frame.assign(method="Kenward-Roger"),
])[["method", "Days", "emmean", "SE", "df", "lower_cl", "upper_cl"]]
(side.style
    .format({"emmean": "{:.2f}", "SE": "{:.2f}",
             "df": "{:.1f}", "lower_cl": "{:.2f}", "upper_cl": "{:.2f}"})
    .hide(axis="index")
    .set_caption("sleepstudy: Wald vs Satterthwaite vs Kenward-Roger"))

Wald (df = ∞)	5.000000	303.74	9.58	inf	284.96	322.52

Satterthwaite	9.000000	345.61	14.63	17.0	314.75	376.47
Kenward-Roger	0.000000	251.41	6.82	17.0	237.01	265.80
Kenward-Roger	5.000000	303.74	9.58	17.0	283.53	323.96
Kenward-Roger	9.000000	345.61	14.63	17.0	314.75	376.47

On the well-determined sleepstudy fit ($n = 180$), Satterthwaite and Kenward-Roger agree to two decimals on both SE and df. The practical change from Wald is the move from $z_{0.975} = 1.96$ to $t_{0.975,\,17} \approx 2.11$ — a 7.6 % CI widening. At smaller sample sizes the K-R adjustment also inflates the vcov itself, picking up the additional small-sample bias correction documented in Kenward & Roger (1997).

Part V — Parametric-bootstrap LRT (the pbkrtest port)

Question: when is the asymptotic F or $\chi^2$ approximation suspect — and what is the alternative?

For small samples, boundary fits, or models with complex random-effects structure, the asymptotic $\chi^2$ distribution for the likelihood-ratio statistic is known to be conservative. R pbkrtest::PBmodcomp and pymmeans.pbmodcomp replace the asymptotic distribution with a parametric bootstrap from the fitted null model: simulate $N$ replicates under $H_0$, refit both models on each, compare the observed LRT to the empirical null. krmodcomp (Kenward-Roger F) and satmodcomp (Satterthwaite F) are the fast asymptotic counterparts.

large_ri = mlm.MixedLM.from_formula(
    "Reaction ~ Days", groups="Subject", data=sleep,
).fit(reml=True)
small_ri = mlm.MixedLM.from_formula(
    "Reaction ~ 1", groups="Subject", data=sleep,
).fit(reml=True)

kr  = krmodcomp(large_ri, small_ri)
sat = satmodcomp(large_ri, small_ri)
pb  = pbmodcomp(large_ri, small_ri, n_sim=200, seed=20260523, silent=True, n_jobs=-1)

ftest_table = pd.DataFrame([
    ["krmodcomp (Kenward-Roger F)",  f"{kr.F:.3f}",  f"{kr.ndf}",  f"{kr.ddf:.2f}",  f"{kr.p_value:.2e}"],
    ["satmodcomp (Satterthwaite F)", f"{sat.F:.3f}", f"{sat.ndf}", f"{sat.ddf:.2f}", f"{sat.p_value:.2e}"],
    ["pbmodcomp (bootstrap LRT)",    f"{pb.lrt_obs:.3f}", f"{pb.df}", "—", f"{pb.p_value:.4f}  (boot)"],
], columns=["test", "statistic", "ndf", "ddf", "p-value"])
(ftest_table.style
    .hide(axis="index")
    .set_caption("Reaction ~ Days vs Reaction ~ 1  (random intercept only)"))

Reaction ~ Days vs Reaction ~ 1 (random intercept only)

test	statistic	ndf	ddf	p-value
krmodcomp (Kenward-Roger F)	169.401	1	161.00	6.41e-27
satmodcomp (Satterthwaite F)	169.401	1	161.00	6.41e-27
pbmodcomp (bootstrap LRT)	116.462	1	—	0.0051 (boot)

All three tests reject the intercept-only null overwhelmingly. The parametric bootstrap is more conservative than the F approximation at small $n$; on this well-determined dataset the asymptotic agreement is essentially perfect. The added value of the bootstrap is the cases where it disagrees — boundary fits, very small $n$, or designs where the F denominator df is itself near zero.

Part VI — ML adapter: prediction-surface averaging

Question: what does "predicted yield at fertilizer = high" mean when the model is a random forest, and how do we put a confidence interval on it?

Tree-ensemble models — random forests, gradient-boosted trees, neural networks — fit nonlinear interactions natively but have no analytic standard error on their predictions. pymmeans.from_predict wraps any callable predict_fn(data) -> ndarray and produces EMM-style population-average summaries; bootstrap_ci(em, kind="case", refit_fn=...) quantifies uncertainty by refitting the model on each row-resampled bootstrap draw.

The dataset below is synthetic but constructed with a crop-specific quadratic response to rainfall and a quadratic temperature optimum — exactly the kind of pattern an additive linear baseline cannot capture without manually adding interaction and polynomial terms.

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor

high	4041.8	3980.4	4103.2	3988.5	3850.2	4071.6

The random forest captures the crop × rainfall interaction the additive OLS cannot, which both shifts the marginal estimates (RF runs 2.7 – 3.8 % higher than OLS at every fertilizer level) and widens the CIs (RF intervals are 1.7 – 2.1 × wider than the OLS Wald intervals). The case-resampling bootstrap is doing the work no parametric SE could: refitting the forest on each resample and reading off the percentile interval of the resulting EMM distribution.

Part VII — Cross-validation receipts

The math agrees with the R gold standard. pymmeans is validated against the canonical R post-estimation stack on a committed reference suite of CSVs (see tests/r_reference/):

Every reference value is regenerable from the committed R scripts in tests/r_reference/*.R under R 4.6 + the cited package versions. The public-surface validation suite runs in approximately one minute via pytest.

Part VIII — Where next

We've driven every analytical surface in pymmeans through one coherent worked example. The same machinery extends to:

• Survey-weighted designs: from_survey accepts a SurveyDesign (Lumley-style) and produces design-corrected EMM vcov at floating-point parity with R survey::svyglm + R emmeans.
• Bayesian posteriors: from_pymc and posterior_emmeans integrate with arviz and PyMC; posterior EMMs become a derived quantity of the trace.
• Cumulative-link ordinal and multinomial logit: OrderedModel and MNLogit from statsmodels dispatch through ordinal_emmeans and multinom_emmeans.
• Trends (derivatives at focal points): emtrends returns the slope of the regression surface in a focal numeric, at user-specified levels of the by-factors.
• Custom L matrices: the low-level contrast() entry point accepts any row matrix; cld() and pwpm() handle the post-hoc letter display and pairwise p-value matrix.
• Beyond statsmodels: from_linearmodels for panel-data fits; from_predict for any callable predictor — PyTorch, XGBoost, LightGBM, or custom black boxes.
