Perhaps you need to run an ANOVA, or a correlation analysis. Or you want to display your data as Box Plots, or nested Cross Tab tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

sofastats_lib<\/code> can help. Look at the Output Gallery<\/a> to see what is available. Here is the output of a simple Cross Tab table (based on synthetic demonstration data):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here’s a preview of some of the charting options (also using synthetic data):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the existing ANOVA documentation (once again, using synthetic data):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The full API is documented here: https:\/\/sofastats.github.io\/sofastats_lib\/API\/<\/a> and there is a simple guide to making and reusing your own styles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest option is to start with a CSV. Just make sure it is long format not wide format (see Data Preparation<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

sofastats_lib<\/code> is based on the tried-and-true SOFA Statistics desktop application<\/a> but can be used like any other Python library.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can add it to your project in the usual way e.g. uv add sofastats_lib<\/code>. Friendly installation and usage instructions are available at https:\/\/sofastats.github.io\/sofastats_lib\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us know what you think of sofastats_lib<\/code>. We can be contacted at grant@sofastatistics.com or you can add issues to the GitHub project<\/a>. And please spread the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
