python

from statslibx import DescriptiveStats
from statslibx.datasets import load_iris

data = load_iris()
ds = DescriptiveStats(data)
summary = ds.summary()
print(summary)
print(ds.mean('sepal_length'))

First Steps

Here is a typical workflow to get you started with StatsLibX:

Load Data

Start by loading data from built-in datasets with load_iris(), load_penguins(), or load your own CSV/Excel files using pandas.

Explore with DescriptiveStats

Pass your data to DescriptiveStats and call methods like summary(), correlation(), and outliers() to explore your dataset.

Test Hypotheses with InferentialStats

Use InferentialStats to run t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square tests, and compute confidence intervals on your data.

Visualize with UtilsStats

Leverage UtilsStats for data transformation, validation, and visualization helpers to present your findings.

Troubleshooting

Common issues you might encounter and their solutions:

Command not found: pip

Ensure Python and pip are installed and added to your PATH. Try using python -m pip install statslibx instead.

ImportError: No module named 'statslibx'

The package may not be installed correctly. Re-run pip install statslibx and verify with pip list.

Version conflicts with dependencies

Create a fresh virtual environment to avoid conflicts: python -m venv venv, then activate it and install statslibx.

Permission denied during installation

Use pip install --user statslibx to install for your user only, or use a virtual environment.

Installation hangs or times out

Try using a mirror: pip install statslibx -i https://pypi.org/simple. You can also increase the timeout with --timeout 120.
