PySAL 1.6 Released (2013 07 31)
On behalf of the PySAL development team, I'm happy to announce the official release of PySAL 1.6.
PySAL is a library of tools for spatial data analysis and geocomputation written in Python. PySAL 1.6, the seventh official release of PySAL brings the following key enhancements:
- Optimized contiguity builder
- Explicit checks for disconnected observations (islands)
- Lightweight sparse weights class
- Handle coincident points in construction of distance based weights
- Optimized construction of knn weights
- Chow test on spatial autoregressive coefficient in error, lag and combination regime models
- Kernel based weights specialized for HAC estimators
- Group-wise heteroskedasticity correction for OLS models with regimes
- Optimal GMM estimator to account for heteroskedasticity in TSLS models with regimes
- Spatial decomposition of the Gini coefficient
- Robust segment intersection tests
among the 246 commits and bug fixes since the last release, 6 months ago.
In addition, 1.6 marks the first release since PySAL moved from Google Code to GitHub
