Although pandas is a very important package for data analysis, it can work in conjunction with two other packages: SciPy and NumPy.

SciPy

SciPy is one of the most important packages for mathematical and statistical analysis in Python, and it is linked closely to NumPy. SciPy contains more than 60 statistical functions organized in families of modules:

  • scipy.cluster

  • scipy.constants

  • scipy.fftpack

  • scipy.integrate

  • scipy.interpolate

  • scipy.io

  • scipy.lib

  • scipy.linalg

  • scipy.misc

  • scipy.optimize

  • scipy.signal

  • scipy.sparse

  • scipy.spatial

  • scipy.special

  • scipy.stats

  • scipy.weave

>>> import scipy as sp
>>> ...
