Statistical Data Analytic Functions

[Akash N]

Hi, 

I would like to propose the idea of introducing data analytic functions similar to the ones in scipy.stats. To begin with, a few basic functions could be:

• Computing z-score
• Computing Confidence Interval for a given threshold 
• Regression Analysis (with graphs)
• Power of a Test
• Hypothesis Testing

I believe introduction of such functions would see a great increase in usage of SymPy, and also augment it's appeal and add to it's user-base.
Please do give me feedback on the idea. I have most of the code ready, and based on the decision of the mods, will take it up.

Thank you.

Hi,

What do you plan exactly? Do you plan on creating a symbolic equivalent of scipy functions? Or do you think about a code generator?

We already have a probability theory module in sympy.stats, though it can still be expanded in many ways.
