Release 0.14.2

Release summary

statsmodels is using github to store the updated documentation. Two version are available:

Warning

API stability is not guaranteed for new features, although even in this case changes will be made in a backwards compatible way if possible. The stability of a new feature depends on how much time it was already in statsmodels main and how much usage it has already seen. If there are specific known problems or limitations, then they are mentioned in the docstrings.

The Highlights

This release brings compatibility with NumPy 2.0.0. This is the only key feature of this release. Several minor patches have been backported. These either fix bugs that have been documented, improve the documentation or are necessary for NumPy 2.0 compatability.

NumPy 2.0 is only available for Python 3.9+. This means that the minimum Python has been increased to 3.9 to match. NumPy 2 is only required to build statsmodels, and statsmodels will continue to run on NumPy 1.22.3+.

Note that when running using NumPy 2, all dependencies that use build against NumPy (e.g., Scipy and pandas) must be NumPy 2 compatible. You can continue to run against NumPy 1.22 - 1.26 along with other components of the scientific Python stack until all required dependencies have been updated.
