Welcome to statanalysis, a repository of statistical methods and tools tailored for data analysis enthusiasts. Inspired by my completion of a Coursera certificate in statistics, this repository encompasses a plethora of statistical concepts meticulously crafted into implementations. From prediction metrics to regression analysis, hypothesis testing to confidence intervals, and population parameter estimation to model estimation, statanalysis
covers it all.
Built in Python, statanalysis
provides meticulously crafted modules and utilities aimed at beginners in statistics, data science, and research. While following a certification on statistics on Coursera, I chose to solidify my knowledge through implementations instead of solely relying on existing modules. I believe there is no better way to understand a statistical formula than by implementing it in code, documenting it thoroughly, and validating the results through tests.
So, I've rewritten common statistical learning tools then create a repository that offers direct access to my implementations, ensuring simplicity without compromising accuracy. Futhermore, these implementations have undergone rigorous testing against established libraries like scipy.stats, statsmodels, and scikit-learn to uphold industry standards.
I have uploaded this open source project to pypi python module available on pypi, documented on readthedocs.
Whether you're a novice or an experienced data analyst, statanalysis
aims to simplify and enhance your statistical analysis journey. Dive in and explore a wealth of statistical methods and techniques designed to streamline your analytical processes and empower your insights.
