DABEST is a package for Data Analysis using Bootstrap-Coupled ESTimation.
Estimation statistics is a simple framework that avoids the pitfalls of significance testing. It uses familiar statistical concepts: means, mean differences, and error bars. More importantly, it focuses on the effect size of one's experiment/intervention, as opposed to a false dichotomy engendered by P values.
An estimation plot has two key features.
-
It presents all datapoints as a swarmplot, which orders each point to display the underlying distribution.
-
It presents the effect size as a bootstrap 95% confidence interval on a separate but aligned axes.
DABEST powers estimationstats.com, allowing everyone access to high-quality estimation plots.
DABEST has been tested on Python 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7.
In addition, the following packages are also required:
- numpy (1.15)
- scipy (1.2)
- matplotlib (3.0)
- seaborn (0.9)
- pandas (0.24).
To obtain these package dependencies easily, it is highly recommended to download the Anaconda distribution of Python.
You can install this package via pip.
To install, at the command line run
pip install --upgrade dabestYou can also clone this repo locally (see intstructions here).
Then, navigate to the cloned repo in the command line and run
pip install .Please refer to the documentation.

There is also a Matlab version of DABEST.
R users can install dabestr.
To test DABEST, you will need to install pytest.
Run pytest in the root directory of the source distribution. This runs the test suite in the folder dabest/tests. The test suite will ensure that the bootstrapping functions and the plotting functions perform as expected.
