Hi @pgdelafuente,

Thank you for posting.

I have looked for your error message on Google and found a incompatibility issue: https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels/issues/5759

Could you please try the following:

1. Stop Alteryx Designer

2. Rename folder %ALTERYX_DIRECTORY%\bin\Miniconda3\envs\JupyterTool_vEnv\Lib\site-packages\scipy to scipy.old (replace %ALTERYX_DIRECTORY% with your installation folder)

3. Start Alteryx Designer as administrator if you have an admin version and, as usual otherwise

4. Drag a Python tool to the canvas, enter following code and run the cell

from ayx import Alteryx
Alteryx.installPackages('scipy==1.2.1')

5. Test your  code again:

import statsmodels.formula.api as sm

Remark: You might need to install extra packages like patsy for example 

Thanks,

PaulN

Hi @pgdelafuente,

Thanks for the feedback.

Could you please create a different thread for the XGBoost issue?
