Pingouin is a mature Python library for statistical analysis, providing a comprehensive suite of parametric and non-parametric hypothesis tests, effect sizes, power analysis, Bayes factors, and data visualization. Unlike lower-level libraries like SciPy and statsmodels, Pingouin returns rich, ready-to-interpret DataFrames with all relevant statistics (p-values, confidence intervals, effect sizes, Bayes factors, power) in a single call. The library is designed for researchers and data analysts in the social, biomedical, and behavioral sciences, and its API is tightly integrated with pandas via method chaining (e.g., `df.anova()`, `df.pairwise_corr()`). The codebase is modular, with each module dedicated to a class of statistical methods (parametric, nonparametric, correlation, regression, etc.), and includes bundled example datasets and extensive documentation. Its architecture follows a functional pattern built on top of NumPy, SciPy, pandas, and statsmodels, with optional dependencies for plotting and machine learning. The library is actively maintained, with a recent release (v0.6.1) and CI/CD pipelines ensuring compatibility with Python 3.10–3.14 and the latest versions of its scientific stack.
tsfresh is a Python library for automatic time series feature extraction and selection, grounded in the FRESH (FeatuRe Extraction based on Scalable Hypothesis tests) algorithm. It provides over 700 feature calculators spanning statistics, signal processing, and nonlinear dynamics, along with hypothesis-testing-based feature selection using Benjamini-Hochberg or Benjamini-Yekutieli FDR control. The library is designed for integration into scikit-learn pipelines via transformers like FeatureAugmenter and RelevantFeatureAugmenter, and supports parallel/distributed execution via multiprocessing, Dask, or Spark. While primarily a software library (application), it has strong research roots with academic publications and example notebooks demonstrating classification, regression, and forecasting tasks. The codebase is well-structured with clean abstractions for data input normalization (adapters), pluggable parallelization (distributors), and feature settings reconstruction, making it a robust tool for time series feature engineering in production ML workflows.
