salmon: A Symbolic Linear Regression Package for Python

Computation 2024-04-01 v3

Abstract

One of the most attractive features of R is its linear modeling capabilities. We describe a Python package, salmon, that brings the best of R's linear modeling functionality to Python in a Pythonic way -- by providing composable objects for specifying and fitting linear models. This object-oriented design also enables other features that enhance ease-of-use, such as automatic visualizations and intelligent model building.
