Two questions:

Why the requirement that you can't use scipy?

Have you heard of the package stats model?



Well, SciPy depends heavily on NumPy, which as a CPython-specific extension won't run on other Python interpreters in general. Although for example there is ulab for MicroPython which replicates part of NumPy, and PyPy has a compatibility layer for CPython extensions.

Edit: well, Regessio itself also depends on NumPy, but might be able to run on top of ulab whereas I really doubt SciPy would.


The repo on OP also depends on numpy


Responding that there's something out there called ulab doesn't really answer my question, which was: where does op's requirement to not use scipy come from.


(Same as comment above)

".. I had to generate confidence intervals on over 8000 univariate data sets using very small VMs, so I needed to limit large dependancies as much as I could. This package was the result of this!"

Based on the comments in this thread, it may be worth trying to make this package not dependant on Numpy as well?
