Regression Analysis with Python

Python packages and functions for linear models

Linear models diffuse in many different scientific and business applications and can be found, under different functions, in quite a number of different Python packages. We have selected a few for use in this book. Among them, Statsmodels is our choice for illustrating the statistical properties of models, and Scikit-learn is instead the package we recommend for easily and seamlessly preparing data, building models, and deploying them. We will present models built with Statsmodels exclusively to illustrate the statistical properties of the linear models, resorting to Scikit-learn to demonstrate how to approach modeling from a data science point of view.
