Instrumental Variables Regression in Python

ivmodels implements

  • K-Class estimators, including the Limited Information Maximum Likelihood (LIML) and the Two-Stage Least Squares (TSLS) estimator.
  • Tests and confidence sets for the parameters of the model, including the Anderson-Rubin test, the Lagrange multiplier test, the (conditional) likelihood-ratio test, and the Wald test.
  • Auxiliary tests such as Anderson's (1951) test of reduced rank (a multivariate extension to the first-stage F-test), the J-test (including its LIML variant), and Scheidegger et al.'s residual prediction test of well-specification.

See the docs and the examples therein for more details. See this document for an introduction to the estimators, tests, and their properties.
