Release 0.10.0
==============
Release summary
===============
statsmodels is using github to store the updated documentation. Two version are available:
* `Stable `_, the latest release
* `Development `_, the latest build of the master branch
**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 master 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
==============
Generalized Additive Models
---------------------------
:class:`~statsmodels.gam.generalized_additive_model.GLMGam` adds support for Generalized additive models.
.. note::
**Status: experimental**. This class has full unit test coverage for the core
results with Gaussian and Poisson (without offset and exposure). Other
options and additional results might not be correctly supported yet.
(Binomial with counts, i.e. with n_trials, is most likely wrong in parts.
User specified var or freq weights are most likely also not correct for
all results.)
:class:`~statsmodels.gam.generalized_additive_model.LogitGam` adds a Logit version, although this is
unfinished.
Conditional Models
------------------
Three conditional limited dependent variables models have been added:
:class:`~statsmodels.discrete.conditional_models.ConditionalLogit`,
:class:`~statsmodels.discrete.conditional_models.ConditionalMNLogit` and
:class:`~statsmodels.discrete.conditional_models.ConditionalPoisson`. These are known
as fixed effect models in Econometrics.
Dimension Reduction Methods
---------------------------
Three standard methods to perform dimension reduction when modeling data have been added:
:class:`~statsmodels.regression.dimred.SlicedInverseReg`,
:class:`~statsmodels.regression.dimred.PrincipalHessianDirections`, and
:class:`~statsmodels.regression.dimred.SlicedAverageVarianceEstimation`.
Regression using Quadratic Inference Functions (QIF)
----------------------------------------------------
Quadratic Inference Function, :class:`~statsmodels.genmod.qif.QIF`, improve the estimation of GEE models.
Gaussian Process Regression
---------------------------
:class:`~statsmodels.regression.process_regression.GaussianCovariance` implements Gaussian process
regression which is a nonparametric kernel-based method to model data.
:class:`~statsmodels.regression.process_regression.ProcessMLE` is a generic class that can be used
for other types of process regression. The results are returned in a
:class:`~statsmodels.regression.process_regression.ProcessMLEResults`.
:func:`~statsmodels.stats.correlation_tools.kernel_covariance`
provides a method that uses kernel averaging to estimate a multivariate covariance function.
Burg's Method
-------------
Burg's method, :func:`~statsmodels.regression.linear_model.burg`, provides an alternative estimator for the parameters
of AR models that is known to work well in small samples. It minimizes the forward and backward errors.
Time series Tools
-----------------
A number of common helper function for decomposing a time series have been added:
:func:`~statsmodels.tsa.innovations.arma_innovations.arma_innovations`,
:func:`~statsmodels.tsa.stattools.innovations_algo`, and
:func:`~statsmodels.tsa.stattools.innovations_filter`. Two new PACF estimators have been added:
:func:`~statsmodels.tsa.stattools.levinson_durbin_pacf` and :func:`~statsmodels.tsa.stattools.pacf_burg`.
Other
-----
Knockoff effect estimation has been added for a many models:
:class:`~statsmodels.stats.knockoff_regeffects.RegModelEffects`,
:class:`~statsmodels.stats.knockoff_regeffects.CorrelationEffects`,
:class:`~statsmodels.stats.knockoff_regeffects.OLSEffects`,
:class:`~statsmodels.stats.knockoff_regeffects.ForwardEffects`, and
:class:`~statsmodels.stats.knockoff_regeffects.OLSEffects`.
Influence functions are available for GLM and generic MLE models:
:class:`~statsmodels.stats.outliers_influence.GLMInfluence` and
:class:`~statsmodels.stats.outliers_influence.MLEInfluence`.
