TBH, I haven't used python for science in a few years, so maybe numpy is the norm now and I'm showing my age. But when I was doing more python, I wrote bootstrapping, monte carlo and CI code without anything but the standard lib. I probably used pypy to get it fast enough, but if everyone has numpy now then that's definitely the way to go and I retract my comment!
I'm not trying to sound arrogant or anything, if numpy is the standard now then there's definitely no point in reinventing the wheel. (But pandas is still overkill...)
- lumpypua 10y agopandas is the standard now for most python data munging I've come across. numpy is "low level".
- pbnjay 10y agobootstrapping does not require any munging.
- spencebeecher 10y agoI agree with you! Pandas is only used in the power analysis code (which also has matplotlib for plotting). The best thing would be to pair this down. We would gladly take contributions - i think the path forward on this feedback is clear but will take a little code =) Most of the important stuff is just numpy which i feel is pretty fair for most peeps.
