Hello,

I am new to Julia. I am looking at some old Julia code that is using the Regression package. Suggestions on the web suggest users to use GLM package for regression use cases. Are Regression and GLM API-compatible? (I cannot find much information about the Regression package.) Has develoopment on Regression ceased, and if so, what is the recommended replacement package?

Any information on this topic will be welcome.

Thanks,  
Arun

In case you haven’t found it, take a look at [https://github.com/JuliaStats](https://github.com/JuliaStats). They have probably most of the active and current Stats packages. Depending of the type of regression you’re doing, there might be other packages outside of JuliaStats.
