sunlm 0.1.3.post9

A social-science-friendly toolkit for OLS regression and SPSS-like ANOVA

sunlm

sunlm is a lightweight, social-science–friendly Python package for SPSS-like OLS regression and ANOVA / ANCOVA.
It is designed for researchers in communication, psychology, marketing, and related social sciences who want clear, interpretable statistical output without complex statistical coding.

sunlm emphasizes:

• R-style formula syntax
• SPSS-equivalent ANOVA (Type III SS, sum coding)
• Standardized coefficients and semi-partial R²
• Clean, APA-style tables
• Simple, top-level API (sunlm.reg, sunlm.aov)
