statsmodels is a Python module that provides classes and functions for the estimation of many different statistical models, as well as for conducting statistical tests, and statistical data exploration. An extensive list of result statistics are available for each estimator. The results are tested against existing statistical packages to ensure that they are correct. The package is released under the open source Modified BSD (3-clause) license. The online documentation is hosted at statsmodels.org.
Introduction¶
statsmodels supports specifying models using R-style formulas and pandas DataFrames.
Here is a simple example using ordinary least squares:
In [1]: import numpy as np
In [2]: import statsmodels.api as sm
In [3]: import statsmodels.formula.api as smf
# Load data
In [4]: dat = sm.datasets.get_rdataset("Guerry", "HistData").data
# Fit regression model (using the natural log of one of the regressors)
In [5]: results = smf.ols('Lottery ~ Literacy + np.log(Pop1831)', data=dat).fit()
# Inspect the results
In [6]: print(results.summary())

Warnings:
[1] Standard Errors assume that the covariance matrix of the errors is correctly specified.
You can also use numpy arrays instead of formulas:
In [7]: import numpy as np
In [8]: import statsmodels.api as sm
# Generate artificial data (2 regressors + constant)
In [9]: nobs = 100
In [10]: X = np.random.random((nobs, 2))
In [11]: X = sm.add_constant(X)
In [12]: beta = [1, .1, .5]
In [13]: e = np.random.random(nobs)
In [14]: y = np.dot(X, beta) + e
# Fit regression model
In [15]: results = sm.OLS(y, X).fit()
# Inspect the results
In [16]: print(results.summary())
