Regression Tables via maketables

[s3alfisc]

Hi @ the bambinos team,

We've just released maketables, which we hope will be to Python what modelsummary is to R. We currently support pyfixest, statsmodels and linearmodels. Do you think it would make sense to add support for Bambi?

Due to its modular design, it should be super straightforward to add support for Bambi (as you can see in this example notebook here) Do you think it is worth adding support - would you users be interested in creating regression tables in html / word / latex?

Best, Alex

Hi @s3alfisc,

Thanks for reaching out to us. First of all, congrats on the release!

While I am not a frequent users of such tables, I do think many of our users would benefit from having them available for their Bambi models.

If I understand it correctly, it would require us to define a class like the one in the link you shared and that would be pretty much it? (not saying it would be super quick, but realizing it wouldn't be tremendously hard either).

I think it makes sense and it would be good to offer this to other users. However, I would do it by making maketables an optional dependency, like we do with jax and numba (see

bambi/pyproject.toml

Lines 24 to 41 in 6ff493d

	dependencies = [
	"arviz>=0.20.0",
	"formulae>=0.5.3",
	"graphviz",
	"pandas>=1.0.0",
	"pymc>=5.26.1",
	]
	[project.optional-dependencies]
	jax = [
	"blackjax>=1.2,<1.3",
	"jax>=0.7,<0.8",
	"numpyro>=0.19,<0.20",
	]
	nutpie = [
	"numba>=0.61.2",
	"nutpie>=0.15,<0.16",
	]

). Users who want this feature would only need to do pip install bambi[maketables] and they would be ready to go and call some method to get their summaries.
