I tried to install statsmodels in python. After installation, I checked with pip freeze. The package can be seen in the list.

When I am trying:

from statsmodels.tsa.api import ExponentialSmoothing, SimpleExpSmoothing, Holt

I am getting error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name ExponentialSmoothing

I have tried the following link also :

As of today (10 May 2018), the problem is solved by simply installing version 0.9.0 rather than the default 0.8.0:

pip install statsmodels==0.9.0rc1

I met the same situation, and the install process recommended in Nish's url didn't work for me. Here's how did I solve the problem (I'm using Mac OS).

Remove statsmodels library first, if you have installed: pip uninstall statsmodels

  • In your terminal, type git init, to initiate git
  • Then type git clone git://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels.git
  • Change the directory to statsmodels using “cd statsmodels”
  • Next type python setup.py install
  • python setup.py build_ext --inplace
  • Now type python in your terminal and then type from statsmodels.tsa.api import ExponentialSmoothing, to see whether it can import successfully
  • You can follow the steps mentioned below:

    Step 1: Remove statsmodel using pip uninstall statsmodel

    Step 2: Install git from here: https://git-scm.com/downloads

    Step 3: Follow steps mentioned under "Installing library(statsmodels)" from link mentioned below: https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2018/02/time-series-forecasting-methods/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AnalyticsVidhya+%28Analytics+Vidhya%29
