name: regression-modeler description: "Run regression analysis (OLS or logistic) on uploaded CSV/Excel data, generating coefficients, R², p-values, VIF, and plain-language interpretation. Triggered by requests for regression modeling, fitting data, testing significance, checking multicollinearity, or keywords like OLS, logit, coefficient, p-value, or R-squared." license: MIT

regression-modeler

Automated regression modeling tool — performs linear regression (OLS) or logistic regression (Logit) on tabular data, producing comprehensive statistical results with plain-language interpretation.

Capabilities

Feature	Description
Linear Regression	OLS with coefficients, R², adjusted R², F-test, AIC/BIC, Durbin-Watson
Logistic Regression	Logit with coefficients, Odds Ratio, Pseudo R², likelihood ratio test
Multicollinearity Detection	VIF values for each predictor with warning levels
Plain-Language Interpretation	Clear explanations of what each metric and coefficient means
Auto Detection	Automatically switches to logistic regression when the target is binary (0/1)

Quick Start

# Linear regression: predict price using all numeric columns as predictors
python3 scripts/regression_analyzer.py data.csv --target price

# Logistic regression: predict churn (0/1) with specified features
python3 scripts/regression_analyzer.py users.csv --target churn --features "age,income,tenure"

# Save results to JSON
python3 scripts/regression_analyzer.py data.csv --target sales --output result.json

Detailed Usage

Basic Invocation

python3 scripts/regression_analyzer.py <data_file> --target <target_column> [options]

Specifying Regression Type

# Force linear regression
python3 scripts/regression_analyzer.py data.csv -t y --type linear

# Force logistic regression
python3 scripts/regression_analyzer.py data.csv -t label --type logistic

# Auto-detect (default)
python3 scripts/regression_analyzer.py data.csv -t y --type auto

Selecting Feature Columns

# Manually specify (comma-separated)
python3 scripts/regression_analyzer.py data.csv -t price -f "sqft,bedrooms,bathrooms"

# Omit to automatically use all numeric columns
python3 scripts/regression_analyzer.py data.csv -t price

Parameters

Parameter	Short	Required	Default	Description
input	—	Yes	—	Input file path (CSV/TSV/Excel/JSON)
--target	-t	Yes	—	Target variable (dependent variable) column name
--features	-f	No	All numeric columns	Predictor column names, comma-separated
--type	-T	No	auto	Regression type: linear / logistic / auto
--output	-o	No	stdout	Output JSON file path
--no-const	—	No	false	Do not add an intercept term
--keep-na	—	No	false	Keep rows with missing values (for debugging)
