0.4.3¶
The only change compared to 0.4.2 is for compatibility with python 3.2.3 (changed behavior of 2to3)
0.4.2¶
This is a bug-fix release, that affects mainly Big-Endian machines.
Bug Fixes
- discrete_model.MNLogit fix summary method
- tsa.filters.hp_filter don’t use umfpack on Big-Endian machine (scipy bug)
- the remaining fixes are in the test suite, either precision problems on some machines or incorrect testing on Big-Endian machines.
0.4.1¶
This is a backwards compatible (according to our test suite) release with bug fixes and code cleanup.
Bug Fixes
- build and distribution fixes
- lowess correct distance calculation
- genmod correction CDFlink derivative
- adfuller _autolag correct calculation of optimal lag
- het_arch, het_lm : fix autolag and store options
- GLSAR: incorrect whitening for lag>1
Other Changes
- add lowess and other functions to api and documentation
- rename lowess module (old import path will be removed at next release)
- new robust sandwich covariance estimators, moved out of sandbox
- compatibility with pandas 0.8
- new plots in statsmodels.graphics - ABLine plot - interaction plot
0.4.0¶
Main Changes and Additions
- Added pandas dependency.
- Cython source is built automatically if cython and compiler are present
- Support use of dates in timeseries models
- Improved plots - Violin plots - Bean Plots - QQ Plots
- Added lowess function
- Support for pandas Series and DataFrame objects. Results instances return pandas objects if the models are fit using pandas objects.
- Full Python 3 compatibility
- Fix bugs in genfromdta. Convert Stata .dta format to structured array preserving all types. Conversion is much faster now.
- Improved documentation
- Models and results are pickleable via save/load, optionally saving the model data.
- Kernel Density Estimation now uses Cython and is considerably faster.
- Diagnostics for outlier and influence statistics in OLS
- Added El Nino Sea Surface Temperatures dataset
- Numerous bug fixes
- Internal code refactoring
- Improved documentation including examples as part of HTML
Changes that break backwards compatibility
Deprecated scikits namespace. The recommended import is now:
import statsmodels.api as sm
model.predict methods signature is now (params, exog, ...) where before it assumed that the model had been fit and omitted the params argument.
For consistency with other multi-equation models, the parameters of MNLogit are now transposed.
tools.tools.ECDF -> distributions.ECDF
tools.tools.monotone_fn_inverter -> distributions.monotone_fn_inverter
tools.tools.StepFunction -> distributions.StepFunction
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 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.
- Time Series Analysis model (tsa)
- Vector Autoregression Models VAR (tsa.VAR)
- Autogressive Models AR (tsa.AR)
- Autoregressive Moving Average Models ARMA (tsa.ARMA) optionally uses Cython for Kalman Filtering use setup.py install with option –with-cython
- Baxter-King band-pass filter (tsa.filters.bkfilter)
- Hodrick-Prescott filter (tsa.filters.hpfilter)
- Christiano-Fitzgerald filter (tsa.filters.cffilter)
- Improved maximum likelihood framework uses all available scipy.optimize solvers
- Refactor of the datasets sub-package.
