Delicatessen: M-Estimation in Python

M-estimation is a general statistical approach that simplifies and unifies estimation in a variety of settings. Here, we introduce delicatessen, a Python library that automates the tedious calculations of M-estimation. To highlight the utility of delicatessen for data analyses in life science research, we provide several illustrations: linear regression robust to outliers, estimation of a dose-response curve, and standardization of results.
