I am running the following source code:
import statsmodels.formula.api as sm
# Add one column of ones for the intercept term
X = np.append(arr= np.ones((50, 1)).astype(int), values=X, axis=1)
regressor_OLS = sm.OLS(endog=y, exog=X).fit()
print(regressor_OLS.summary())
where
X
is an 50x5 (before adding the intercept term) numpy array which looks like this:
[[0 1 165349.20 136897.80 471784.10]
[0 0 162597.70 151377.59 443898.53]...]
and y
is a a 50x1 numpy array with float values for the dependent variable.
The first two columns are for a dummy variable with three different values. The rest of the columns are three different indepedent variables.
Although, it is said that the statsmodels.formula.api.OLS
adds automatically an intercept term (see @stellacia's answer here: OLS using statsmodel.formula.api versus statsmodel.api) its summary
does not show the statistical values of the intercept term as it evident below in my case:

For this reason, I added to my source code the line:
X = np.append(arr= np.ones((50, 1)).astype(int), values=X, axis=1)
as you can see at the beginning of my post and the statistical values of the intercept/constant are shown as below:

Why the statistical values of the intercept are not showing when I do not add my myself an intercept term even though it is said that statsmodels.formula.api.OLS
is adding this automatically?
