Thanks for the feedback, David. Sources that demonstrate that "sim" is the wrong semantic would be very much appreciated.
I chose "sim" because it's the same name and usual top usual result for an infixed tilde in LaTeX. And note that there is an implied relationship between the two sides in the context of a regression. Here are my sources: LaTeX definition: "∼ Similar, in a relation" - https://latexref.xyz/Math-symbols.html#index-_005csim "depends on" isn't used in the R documentation for `~`, it says: "Tilde Operator Tilde is used to separate the left- and right-hand sides in a model formula." see: - https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/base/versions/3.6.2/topics/tilde "An expression of the form `y ~ model` is interpreted as a specification that the response `y` is modelled by a linear predictor specified symbolically by `model`. Such a model consists of a series of terms separated by `+` operators." - https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/stats/versions/3.6.2/topics/formula My main goal, here, again, is to open up the language to make, what I have encountered in multiple domains, `object1 ~ object2`, possible in Python. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/VJDKNXIVWEEI4RE4XFINTBPYOYNYDROI/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
