**pylift** is an uplift library that provides, primarily, (1) fast uplift

modeling implementations and (2) evaluation tools. While other packages and

more exact methods exist to model uplift, **pylift** is designed to be quick,

flexible, and effective. **pylift** heavily leverages the optimizations of

other packages -- namely, `xgboost`, `sklearn`, `pandas`, `matplotlib`,

`numpy`, and `scipy`. The primary method currently implemented is the

Transformed Outcome proxy method (Athey 2015).
