3.4.3. statsmodels.emplike.descriptive

Empirical likelihood inference on descriptive statistics

This module conducts hypothesis tests and constructs confidence intervals for the mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis and correlation.

If matplotlib is installed, this module can also generate multivariate confidence region plots as well as mean-variance contour plots.

See _OptFuncts docstring for technical details and optimization variable definitions.
