PyMetrics

Use python for econometrics. The API generally follows Stata, is built around the Pandas project, and supports modern econometric best practices.

Most of the decisions regarding output and functionality come from Bruce Hansen's Econometrics textbook (link). I primarily used his January 2019 version during the development of this package.
