python-scipyHow do I use Python and SciPy to perform statistical analysis?

Python and SciPy can be used together to perform statistical analysis.

First, import the SciPy library and NumPy library for numerical computation:

import scipy
import numpy

Then, use the SciPy library to access statistical functions:

from scipy import stats

For example, to calculate the mean of a given array of numbers:

arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
mean = stats.mean(arr)
print(mean)

Output example

3.0

SciPy also provides functions for calculating variance, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, and many other statistical measures.
