statannotations: A Python repository from sjg2203

What is it

Python package to optionally compute statistical test and add statistical annotations on plots generated with seaborn.

Derived work

This repository is based on webermarcolivier/statannot (commit 1835078 of Feb 21, 2020, tagged "v0.2.3").

Additions/modifications since that version are below represented in bold (previous fixes are not listed).

! From version 0.4.0 onwards (introduction of Annotator), statannot's API is no longer usable in statannotations. Please use the latest v0.3.2 release if you must keep statannot's API in your code, but are looking for bug fixes we have covered.

statannot's interface, at least until its version 0.2.3, is usable in statannotations until v.0.3.x, which already provides additional features (see corresponding branch).

Features

Single function to add statistical annotations on plots generated by seaborn:
- Box plots
- Bar plots
- Swarm plots
- Strip plots
- Violin plots
- Supporting FacetGrid
Integrated statistical tests (binding to scipy.stats methods):
- Mann-Whitney
- t-test (independent and paired)
- Welch's t-test
- Levene test
- Wilcoxon test
- Kruskal-Wallis test
- Brunner-Munzel test
Interface to use any other function from any source with minimal extra code
Smart layout of multiple annotations with correct y offsets.
Support for vertical and horizontal orientation
Annotations can be located inside or outside the plot.
Corrections for multiple testing can be applied (binding to statsmodels.stats.multitest.multipletests methods):
- Bonferroni
- Holm-Bonferroni
- Benjamini-Hochberg
- Benjamini-Yekutieli
And any other function from any source with minimal extra code
Format of the statistical test annotation can be customized: star annotation, simplified p-value format, or explicit p-value.
Optionally, custom p-values can be given as input. In this case, no statistical test is performed, but corrections for multiple testing can be applied.
It is also possible to hide non statistically significant annotations
Any text can be used as annotation
And various fixes (see CHANGELOG.md).

Installation

From version 0.3.0 on, the package is distributed on PyPi. The latest stable release (v0.6.0) can be downloaded and installed with:

pip install statannotations

or, with conda

conda install -c conda-forge statannotations

or, after cloning the repository,

pip install .

# OR, to have optional dependencies too (multiple comparisons & testing)
pip install -r requirements.txt .

Important note

! Seaborn ≥ v0.12 and pandas 2 are not officially supported, we know there are at least some bugs. Issues can still be reported (and upvoted) in order to plan further development to support these versions. Also see discussion.

Usage

Here is a minimal example:

import seaborn as sns

from statannotations.Annotator import Annotator

df = sns.load_dataset("tips")
x = "day"
y = "total_bill"
order = ['Sun', 'Thur', 'Fri', 'Sat']

ax = sns.boxplot(data=df, x=x, y=y, order=order)

pairs=[("Thur", "Fri"), ("Thur", "Sat"), ("Fri", "Sun")]

annotator = Annotator(ax, pairs, data=df, x=x, y=y, order=order)
annotator.configure(test='Mann-Whitney', text_format='star', loc='outside')
annotator.apply_and_annotate()
