Outputting Regressions as Table in Python (similar to outreg in stata)?
You can use code like the following (making use of the as_latex function) to output a regression result to a tex file but it doesn't stack them neatly in tabular form the way that outreg2 does:

How to average CDFs of one variable across years
Why don't you just take a weighted average?
Suppose you have ten years $t \in \{1,...,10\}$ and year $t$ has $N_t$ observations such that in total you have $\sum_t N_t=N$ observations. Let the year-$t$...

Regression on individual vs collapsed data
In general, regressing at the individual level does not guarantee the same results as at the group level. The results may be the same, depending on how the data was collapsed, but not always.

Linear Probability Model Instead of Logit in Fixed Effects Regression
FE logit requires the idiosyncratic errors to be IID across $i$ and $t$, quite a strong assumption. Also the regressors should be strictly exogenous, but it's the same for linear FE models. In your ...

What are the confidence interval alpha in regression? Why 0.1 is looser than 0.01?
Confidence intervals (CI) exist within the `frequentist' tradition of statistics/econometrics.
In the very loosest sense, frequentism takes the perspective that there is some true parameter out there.
