As title says, started work on an intro on statsmodels. the rst file still needs to be parsed.

Hi, I integrated your work, should be up-to-date now. Your only mistakes in the rst-file: in the text, you can't have a space after :math: Cool - everything seems to work! We can now communicate through github.

thomas-haslwanter commented 11 years ago

Oh, and one more thing: check the section on "Statistical Models" http://work.thaslwanter.at/Stats/html/statsModels.htmlt so that we don't duplicate stuff. Also, what title should we give to your section (I do the title by hand, because I have not figured out a more elegant way to do that in Sphinx - without changing the table of content.

b-rodrigues commented 11 years ago

Yes indeed I think the best thing to do for me is cite this section (by directly linking to it) as it gives all the theory and definitions needed. I will just illustrate this with examples using statsmodels. As for the name of the section... something like regression analysis by examples? I don't know.

I also committed this morning and added a comment to it: https://github.com/b-rodrigues/statsintro/commit/582d9603d6677c02e03df9aa1c72f5ff4956949c#commitcomment-2794956

I think this is an issue we will have to solve before continuing.

Something else: what is the font (and size) you used to make the titles?

thomas-haslwanter commented 11 years ago

In Sphinx I use the standard settings (no changes there) For the manual titles, I use Adobe Illustrator to make an image (see the attached illustrator file), and save it with 200 px height.

Bruno, I just had a look at skipper's intro to linear regression modelling http://nbviewer.ipython.org/url/raw.github.com/jseabold/tutorial/master/linear_models.ipynb

I think it may be a good idea to take this, and build a chapter on "modelling" out of it, by adding comments and explanations. No reaso to re-invent the wheel!

b-rodrigues commented 11 years ago

Hi, yes this is a good idea, I will continue work as soon as statsmodels 0.50 is out. I think it's best to wait for it since it'll bring R style formulae and I think it's best to use this syntax in the future and write my part accounting for it.
