Hi all,
This is more a question for the scipy-user mailing list since that is for more general question. I would also like to know since I have a biased or selective view.
I just want to broadly ask what statistical package are you guys using? I mean routine statistical function like linear regression, GLM, ANOVA... etc.
I know there is SciKits packages like statsmodels, but are there more general and complete ones?
(Not counting rpy2 since it's not available on Windows anymore.) I think there are more complete packages on specific topics, but nothing in python that is complete and general, that's where statsmodels tries to be. sklearn is machine learning oriented but covers also a large area of statistical methods. Besides scipy.stats, statsmodels and sklearn, I don't know any that target to be general and not field specific. (scipy and numpy have also features that make do-it-yourself easy.) But there are many more field or topic specific packages, ...... (Bayesian, spatial, discrete choice (transport), and then by scientific field.) http://www.scipy.org/Topical_Software doesn't include a statistics section An overview or survey of packages and statistical methods (in a very broad definition) would be useful. Thanks, Josef
thanks to all,
