This is a package to estimate spatially-correlated variance components models/varying intercept models. In addition to a general toolkit to conduct Gibbs sampling in Python, the package also provides an interface to PyMC3 and CODA. For a complete overview, consult the walkthrough_.

This package works best in Python 3.5, but unittests pass in Python 2.7 as well. Only Python 3.5+ is officially supported.
To install, first install the Anaconda Python Distribution_ from Continuum Analytics_. Installation of the package has been tested in Windows (10, 8, 7) Mac OSX (10.8+) and Linux using Anaconda 4.2.0, with Python version 3.5.
Once Anaconda is installed, spvcm can be installed using pip, the Python Package Manager.
pip install spvcm
To install this from source, one can also navigate to the source directory and use:
pip install ./
which will install the package from the target source directory.
To use the package, start up a Python interpreter and run:
import spvcm.api as spvcm
Then, many differnet variance components model specificaions are available in:
spvcm.both
spvcm.upper
spvcm.lower
For more thorough directions, consult the Jupyter Notebook, using the sampler.ipynb, which is provided in the spvcm/examples directory.
