Release 0.13.0

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

New cross-sectional models

Beta Regression

BetaModel estimates a regression model for dependent variable in the unit interval such as fractions and proportions based on the Beta distribution. The Model is parameterized by mean and precision, where both can depend on explanatory variables through link functions.

Ordinal Regression

statsmodels.miscmodels.ordinal_model.OrderedModel implements cumulative link models for ordinal data, based on Logit, Probit or a userprovided CDF link.

Distributions

Copulas

Statsmodels includes now basic support for mainly bivariate copulas. Currently, 10 copulas are available, Archimedean, elliptical and asymmetric extreme value copulas. CopulaDistribution combines a copula with marginal distributions to create multivariate distributions.

Count distribution based on discretization

DiscretizedCount provides count distributions generated by discretizing continuous distributions available in scipy. The parameters of the distribution can be estimated by maximum likelihood with DiscretizedModel.

Bernstein Distribution

BernsteinDistribution creates nonparametric univariate and multivariate distributions using Bernstein polynomials on a regular grid. This can be used to smooth histograms or approximate distributions on the unit hypercube. When the marginal distributions are uniform, then the BernsteinDistribution is a copula.

Statistics

Brunner Munzel rank comparison

Brunner-Munzel test is nonparametric comparison of two samples and is an extension of Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney and Fligner-Policello tests that requires only ordinal information without further assumption on the distributions of the samples. Statsmodels provides the Brunner Munzel hypothesis test for stochastic equality in rank_compare_2indep but also confidence intervals and equivalence testing (TOST) for the stochastically larger statistic, also known as Common Language effect size.

Nonparametric

Asymmetric kernels

Asymmetric kernels can nonparametrically estimate density and cumulative distribution function for random variables that have limited support, either unit interval or positive or nonnegative real line. Beta kernels are available for data in the unit interval. The available kernels for positive data are “gamma”, “gamma2”, “bs”, “invgamma”, “invgauss”, “lognorm”, “recipinvgauss” and “weibull” pdf_kernel_asym estimates a kernel density given a bandwidth parameter. cdf_kernel_asym estimates a kernel cdf.

Time series analysis

Autoregressive Distributed Lag Models

ARDL adds support for specifying and estimating ARDL models, and UECM support specifying models in error correction form. ardl_select_order simplifies selecting both AR and DL model orders. bounds_test implements the bounds test of Peseran, Shin and Smith (2001) for testing whether there is a levels relationship without knowing teh orders of integration of the variables.
