Again, there is no defense for abbreviating linearleastsquares because it is unlikely to appear in an expression and waste valuable horisontal space. not true imho; btw, I would suggest "ols" (ordinary least squares), which is in every textbook. Please, keep the zen of python in mind : Explicit is better than implicit.
True, but horizontal space is valuable (copied from above), and some of the suggested long names were a bit too long for my taste.
Abbreviations will emerge anyway, the question is merely: Will numpy provide/recommend them (in addition to having long names maybe), or will it have to be done by somebody else, possibly resulting in many different sets of abbreviations for the same purpose.
Thanks, Sven
