Statistical computations and models for use with SciPy
Project description
What it is
Statsmodels is a Python package that provides a complement to scipy for statistical computations including descriptive statistics and estimation of statistical models.
Main Features
regression: Generalized least squares (including weighted least squares and least squares with autoregressive errors), ordinary least squares.
glm: Generalized linear models with support for all of the one-parameter exponential family distributions.
discrete choice models: Poisson, probit, logit, multinomial logit
rlm: Robust linear models with support for several M-estimators.
tsa: Time series analysis models, including ARMA, AR, VAR
nonparametric : (Univariate) kernel density estimators
datasets: Datasets to be distributed and used for examples and in testing.
PyDTA: Tools for reading Stata .dta files into numpy arrays.
stats: a wide range of statistical tests
sandbox: There is also a sandbox which contains code for generalized additive models (untested), mixed effects models, cox proportional hazards model (both are untested and still dependent on the nipy formula framework), generating descriptive statistics, and printing table output to ascii, latex, and html. There is also experimental code for systems of equations regression, time series models, panel data estimators and information theoretic measures. None of this code is considered “production ready”.
Where to get it
Development branches will be on Github. This is where to go to get the most up to date code in the trunk branch. Experimental code is hosted here in branches and in developer forks. This code is merged to master often. We try to make sure that the master branch is always stable.
https://www.github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels
Source download of stable tags will be on SourceForge.

or
Installation from sources
In the top directory, just do:
python setup.py install
See INSTALL.txt for requirements or

Documentation
The official documentation is hosted on SourceForge.
http://statsmodels.sourceforge.net/
The sphinx docs are currently undergoing a lot of work. They are not yet comprehensive, but should get you started.
Our blog will continue to be updated as we make progress on the code.
Windows Help
The source distribution for Windows includes a htmlhelp file (statsmodels.chm). This can be opened from the python interpreter
>>> import scikits.statsmodels.api as sm >>> sm.open_help()
Discussion and Development
All chatter will take place on the or scipy-user mailing list. We are very interested in receiving feedback about usability, suggestions for improvements, and bug reports via the mailing list or the bug tracker at
https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels/issues
There is also a google group at
http://groups.google.com/group/pystatsmodels
to discuss development and design issues that are deemed to be too specialized for the scipy-dev/user list.
Python 3
scikits.statsmodels has been ported and tested for Python 3.2. Python 3 version of the code can be obtained by running 2to3.py over the entire statsmodels source. The numerical core of statsmodels worked almost without changes, however there can be problems with data input and plotting. The STATA file reader and writer in iolib.foreign has not been ported yet. And there are still some problems with the matplotlib version for Python 3 that was used in testing. Running the test suite with Python 3.2 shows some errors related to foreign and matplotlib.
Release History
0.3.1
Removed academic-only WFS dataset.
Fix easy_install issue on Windows.
0.3.0
Changes that break backwards compatibility
Added api.py for importing. So the new convention for importing is:
import scikits.statsmodels.api as sm
Importing from modules directly now avoids unnecessary imports and increases the import speed if a library or user only needs specific functions.
sandbox/output.py -> iolib/table.py
lib/io.py -> iolib/foreign.py (Now contains Stata .dta format reader)
family -> families
families.links.inverse -> families.links.inverse_power
Datasets’ Load class is now load function.
regression.py -> regression/linear_model.py
discretemod.py -> discrete/discrete_model.py
rlm.py -> robust/robust_linear_model.py
glm.py -> genmod/generalized_linear_model.py
model.py -> base/model.py
t() method -> tvalues attribute (t() still exists but raises a warning)
Main changes and additions
Numerous bugfixes.
