``patsy`` API reference
==========================
This is a complete reference for everything you get when you `import
patsy`.
.. module:: patsy
.. ipython:: python
:suppress:
from patsy import *
Basic API
---------
.. autofunction:: dmatrix
.. autofunction:: dmatrices
.. autofunction:: incr_dbuilders
.. autofunction:: incr_dbuilder
.. autoexception:: PatsyError
:members:
Convenience utilities
---------------------
.. autofunction:: balanced
.. autofunction:: demo_data
Design metadata
---------------
.. autoclass:: DesignInfo
Here's an example of the most common way to get a :class:`DesignInfo`:
.. ipython:: python
mat = dmatrix("a + x", demo_data("a", "x", nlevels=3))
di = mat.design_info
.. attribute:: column_names
The names of each column, represented as a list of strings in
the proper order. Guaranteed to exist.
.. ipython:: python
di.column_names
.. attribute:: column_name_indexes
An :class:`~collections.OrderedDict` mapping column names (as
strings) to column indexes (as integers). Guaranteed to exist
and to be sorted from low to high.
.. ipython:: python
di.column_name_indexes
.. attribute:: term_names
The names of each term, represented as a list of strings in
the proper order. Guaranteed to exist. There is a one-to-many
relationship between columns and terms -- each term generates
one or more columns.
.. ipython:: python
di.term_names
.. attribute:: term_name_slices
An :class:`~collections.OrderedDict` mapping term names (as
strings) to Python :func:`slice` objects indicating which
columns correspond to each term. Guaranteed to exist. The slices
are guaranteed to be sorted from left to right and to cover the
whole range of columns with no overlaps or gaps.
.. ipython:: python
di.term_name_slices
.. attribute:: terms
A list of :class:`Term` objects representing each term. May be
None, for example if a user passed in a plain preassembled
design matrix rather than using the Patsy machinery.
.. ipython:: python
di.terms
[term.name() for term in di.terms]
.. attribute:: term_slices
An :class:`~collections.OrderedDict` mapping :class:`Term`
objects to Python :func:`slice` objects indicating which columns
correspond to which terms. Like :attr:`terms`, this may be None.
.. ipython:: python
di.term_slices
.. attribute:: factor_infos
A dict mapping factor objects to :class:`FactorInfo` objects
providing information about each factor. Like :attr:`terms`,
this may be None.
.. ipython:: python
di.factor_infos
.. attribute:: term_codings
An :class:`~collections.OrderedDict` mapping each :class:`Term`
object to a list of :class:`SubtermInfo` objects which together
describe how this term is encoded in the final design
matrix. Like :attr:`terms`, this may be None.
.. ipython:: python
di.term_codings
.. attribute:: builder
In versions of patsy before 0.4.0, this returned a
``DesignMatrixBuilder`` object which could be passed to
:func:`build_design_matrices`. Starting in 0.4.0,
:func:`build_design_matrices` now accepts :class:`DesignInfo`
objects directly, and writing ``f(design_info.builder)`` is now a
deprecated alias for simply writing ``f(design_info)``.
A number of convenience methods are also provided that take
advantage of the above metadata:
.. automethod:: describe
.. automethod:: linear_constraint
.. automethod:: slice
.. automethod:: subset
.. automethod:: from_array
.. autoclass:: FactorInfo
.. autoclass:: SubtermInfo
.. autoclass:: DesignMatrix
.. automethod:: __new__
.. _stateful-transforms-list:
Stateful transforms
-------------------
Patsy comes with a number of :ref:`stateful transforms
<stateful-transforms>` built in:
.. autofunction:: center
.. autofunction:: standardize
.. function:: scale(x, center=True, rescale=True, ddof=0)
An alias for :func:`standardize`, for R compatibility.
Finally, this is not itself a stateful transform, but it's useful if
you want to define your own:
.. autofunction:: stateful_transform
.. _categorical-coding-ref:
Handling categorical data
-------------------------
.. autoclass:: Treatment
.. autoclass:: Diff
.. autoclass:: Poly
.. autoclass:: Sum
.. autoclass:: Helmert
.. autoclass:: ContrastMatrix
Spline regression
-----------------
.. autofunction:: bs
.. autofunction:: cr
.. autofunction:: cc
.. autofunction:: te
Working with formulas programmatically
--------------------------------------
.. autoclass:: Term
.. data:: INTERCEPT
This is a pre-instantiated zero-factors :class:`Term` object
representing the intercept, useful for making your code clearer. Do
remember though that this is not a singleton object, i.e., you
should compare against it using ``==``, not ``is``.
.. autoclass:: LookupFactor
.. autoclass:: EvalFactor
.. autoclass:: ModelDesc
Working with the Python execution environment
---------------------------------------------
.. autoclass:: EvalEnvironment

Building design matrices
