ImportError: No module named statsmodels.api

Question

I'm new in python and have this problem. I have install Pandas, Numpy, Scipy, and I install Stats Models with apt-get install python-statsmodels, but when I try to use:

import statsmodels.api as sm

But I have this problem:

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-6030a6549dc0> in <module>()
----> 1 import statsmodels.api as sm

ImportError: No module named statsmodels.api

Why??

Answer 1

On Ubuntu 12.04, statsmodels is installed through scikits.

Hence:

import scikits.statsmodels.api as sm

The error is the same: ImportError: No module named statsmodels – Daunt

Try 'import statsmodels'. If that fails it is not installed correctly. Try to see if it is present in the site-packages dir of your python install. Are you using virtualenv? – Heliolatry

No, I don't use virtualenv. And when I try 'import statsmodels' the error continuous. where I see the site-packages?? Is in /usr/lib/python2.7?? – Daunt

from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib print(get_python_lib()) seems to be: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages on ubuntu. – Heliolatry

on Ubuntu it seems to be: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ – Heliolatry

StatsModels don't are in dist-packages, but I install with apt-get, I need install with pip?? or how i do to install in dist-packages? – Daunt

try pip. that normally installs in dist-packages. – Heliolatry

I install with pip, but install in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages an not in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, and the problem continuos, this is the problem?? how I say where do I install it? – Daunt

That is the problem, you cant tell tell it where to install. What you could try is copy all statsmodels stuff from /usr/local/lib/dist-packages to /usr/lib/dist-packages since they are using the same python version. – Heliolatry

Answer 3

I also got the same, error, and the following needs to be installed statsmodels - Statistical computation models for use with scipy.
