EPICpy Statistics Facility

Python has a rich set of modules and packages for statistical analysis and graphing. Because EPICpy includes the Pingouin Statistical Package, device programmers have access to the following facilities (see Pingouin docs for other imported packages):

• pingouin
• statsmodels
• pandas
• pandas-flavor
• numpy
• scipy
• matplotlib
• seaborn

Access to these packages in device code is enabled through standard Python import statements. Display of statistical analyses and graphs is enabled by using the stats_write() method which can accept text, pandas dataframes and other objects, as well as figures and other matplotlib-based objects.

Although we don't recommend programming full data analyses at the end of each simulation run, this statistical facility will allow most conceivable post-run analyses a modeler might need.
