Pingouin is an open-source statistical package written in Python 3 and based mostly on Pandas and NumPy. Some of its main features are listed below. For a full list of available functions, please refer to the API documentation.

  1. ANOVAs: N-ways, repeated measures, mixed, ancova
  2. Pairwise post-hocs tests (parametric and non-parametric) and pairwise correlations
  3. Robust, partial, distance and repeated measures correlations
  4. Linear/logistic regression and mediation analysis
  5. Bayes Factors
  6. Multivariate tests
  7. Reliability and consistency
  8. Effect sizes and power analysis
  9. Parametric/bootstrapped confidence intervals around an effect size or a correlation coefficient
  10. Circular statistics
  11. Chi-squared tests
  12. Plotting: Bland-Altman plot, Q-Q plot, paired plot, robust correlation...

Pingouin is designed for users who want simple yet exhaustive statistical functions.

For example, the ttest_ind function of SciPy returns only the T-value and the p-value. By contrast, the ttest function of Pingouin returns the T-value, the p-value, the degrees of freedom, the effect size (Cohen's d), the 95% confidence intervals of the difference in means, the statistical power and the Bayes Factor (BF10) of the test.

1. T-test

import numpy as np
import pingouin as pg

np.random.seed(123)
mean, cov, n = [4, 5], [(1, .6), (.6, 1)], 30
x, y = np.random.multivariate_normal(mean, cov, n).T

# T-test
pg.ttest(x, y)
Output

4. Test the normality of the data

The pingouin.normality function works with lists, arrays, or pandas DataFrame in wide or long-format.

print(pg.normality(x))                                    # Univariate normality

Integration with Pandas

Several functions of Pingouin can be used directly as pandas DataFrame methods. Try for yourself with the code below:

import pingouin as pg

# Example 1 | ANOVA
df = pg.read_dataset('mixed_anova')
df.anova(dv='Scores', between='Group', detailed=True)

# Example 2 | Pairwise correlations
data = pg.read_dataset('mediation')
data.pairwise_corr(columns=['X', 'M', 'Y'], covar=['Mbin'])

# Example 3 | Partial correlation matrix
data.pcorr()

The functions that are currently supported as pandas method are:
