Estimate an Econometric Model from Scraped Data in Real-Time using Python

Here's a link to a fairly lengthy tutorial I put together titled "Estimate an Econometric Model from Scraped Data in Real-Time using Python" which is posted at another one of my websites:  live.economics.io

The application that's analyzed in the tutorial involves determining the factors that influence the price of a desktop CPU, using the prices and features of processors that are currently listed at newegg.com as the data set for the model.

Lastly, if you haven't been to econpy.org in a while, check out the recently updated interface which now includes an IPython terminal right in the browser -- special thanks to PythonAnywhere on that one!
