[SciPy-user] Estimating AR(1) model?

[Arthur M. Greene]

Well, it's not scipy, but this small Python package has a convenient 
routine for estimating the parameters of an autoregressive process:

It is based on Numeric; you'll have to probe a little to figure out what 
algorithm is used for the estimation.

Cheers,
