I had the same error. Upgrading statsmodels solved the issue:

pip install statsmodels --upgrade

[chloechen1995]

I also encountered the same issue. I did the upgrade as suggested above. However, I still have the same error. I am using Jupyter notebook with Python 2.0 on a mac. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

[anishmahapatra]

I'm having the same problem on Jupyter Notebooks, any advice? I'm running Python 2.7 with statsmodels 0.8.0

[SaulAryehKohn]

For whatever reason, this error is only occurring in my Jupyter notebook. Upgraded to the most recent version of statsmodels on Python 2.7. The command:

from statsmodels.tsa.arima_model import ARIMA

@qhzhang87 's error in Jupyter, but successfully imports with errors in a .py script or within the Python terminal:

EDIT: solved by restarting kernel :)

Piling on here :)

Ran pip install statsmodels --upgrade; then, from statsmodels.stats.outliers_influence import variance_inflation_factor in both command line and jupyter notebook... runs in python, but not in jupyter notebook...

Thank you so much! solved
