What is the primary distinction between the kinds of models found in statsmodels versus other libraries mentioned, like scikit-learn?

When using `patsy.dmatrices` with a nonnumeric term like `'key1'` which has categories 'a' and 'b', and an intercept is included, how is the term represented in the design matrix?

How can you convert a two-dimensional ndarray back to a pandas DataFrame with specified column names?

What does the Patsy function `I()` allow you to do within a formula string?
