alterlab-statsmodels

alterlab-statsmodels is a skill for Claude Code from AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills. It costs 81 tokens per session (2,288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python library for statistical models and econometrics, the study of data involving measurement, prediction, and economic relationships. It provides detailed estimates, confidence intervals, diagnostic tests, and model summaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for linear and generalized regression, logistic and count models, time-series forecasting with ARIMA or related models, assumption checks, causal analysis, and publication-ready statistical tables.
Why use it?
It helps you inspect why a statistical model behaves as it does, rather than relying only on predictions. Diagnostics can reveal issues such as changing variance, correlated errors, unusual observations, or poor assumptions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

alterlab-statsmodels scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Statsmodels: Statistical Modeling and Econometrics

Overview

Statsmodels is Python's premier library for statistical modeling, providing tools for estimation, inference, and diagnostics across a wide range of statistical methods. Apply this skill for rigorous statistical analysis, from simple linear regression to complex time series models and econometric analyses.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Fitting regression models (OLS, WLS, GLS, quantile regression)
  • Performing generalized linear modeling (logistic, Poisson, Gamma, etc.)
  • Analyzing discrete outcomes (binary, multinomial, count, ordinal)
  • Conducting time series analysis (ARIMA, SARIMAX, VAR, forecasting)
  • Running statistical tests and diagnostics
  • Testing model assumptions (heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, normality)
  • Detecting outliers and influential observations
  • Comparing models (AIC/BIC, likelihood ratio tests)
  • Estimating causal effects
  • Producing publication-ready statistical tables and inference

Quick Start

Copy-paste starting points for OLS, logistic regression, ARIMA, GLM/Poisson, and the R-style formula API are in references/quickstart_examples.md. Core rule: always sm.add_constant() for an intercept unless you deliberately want none.

Core Statistical Modeling Capabilities

1. Linear Regression Models

Comprehensive suite of linear models for continuous outcomes with various error structures.

Available models:

  • OLS: Standard linear regression with i.i.d. errors
  • WLS: Weighted least squares for heteroskedastic errors
  • GLS: Generalized least squares for arbitrary covariance structure
  • GLSAR: GLS with autoregressive errors for time series
  • Quantile Regression: Conditional quantiles (robust to outliers)
  • Mixed Effects: Hierarchical/multilevel models with random effects
  • Recursive/Rolling: Time-varying parameter estimation

Key features:

  • Comprehensive diagnostic tests
  • Robust standard errors (HC, HAC, cluster-robust)
  • Influence statistics (Cook's distance, leverage, DFFITS)
  • Hypothesis testing (F-tests, Wald tests)
  • Model comparison (AIC, BIC, likelihood ratio tests)
  • Prediction with confidence and prediction intervals

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
