ETRICS package for Python3

Sun, 25 Nov 2012 20:12:07 +0000

I recently started developing an Econometrics package written in Python which I published on Bitbucket. The idea of this project is, to roll out a scalable Econometrics class library for Python. This toolkit is supposed to provide both implementations for the most commonly used econometric models, and base classes and interfaces for new models and methods to be developed. The functionality will heavily rely on the Python libraries NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib and statsmodels.

You can access the actual version at github.com/StefanHubner/etrics. The code is released under the Gnu Public License, meaning that everyone is welcome to use it, fork it and submit changes or even implement new methods. So far, the package contains a simulation class, both linear and non-parametric (local polynomial) quantile regression estimation routines, and a generic class for Systems of equations.

I composed a small Ipython notebook showing how the Python Etrics package can be used.
