What is the purpose of statsmodels' time series models, like ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average)?
What is the purpose of statsmodels' `OLS` (Ordinary Least Squares) class, and what does calling `.fit()` on it produce?
What is a key difference in emphasis between statsmodels and scikit-learn, given that both can fit models like linear regression?
What is the purpose of the Durbin-Watson statistic, commonly reported in a statsmodels OLS `.summary()` output?
What is the purpose of statsmodels' `robust` standard errors option (e.g. `.fit(cov_type='HC3')`) when heteroscedasticity is detected in a regression?
Why might a data scientist use BOTH statsmodels and scikit-learn in the same project, rather than picking just one?
What is the purpose of statsmodels' statistical power analysis tools (e.g. `TTestPower`, used to determine required sample size for a planned experiment)?
What does a 95% confidence interval on a regression coefficient, as produced by statsmodels' `.conf_int()`, actually represent?
What is the purpose of statsmodels' ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) functionality?
What does a low p-value (e.g. < 0.05) for a coefficient in a statsmodels regression summary typically indicate, in the standard hypothesis-testing framework?
What does statsmodels' `acf`/`pacf` (autocorrelation function / partial autocorrelation function) plotting help determine when working with time series data?
What does statsmodels' `results.predict()` method do after a model has been fit, and how does its typical use case differ from a purely ML-prediction-focused library?
