Dependencies

We try to keep the number of dependencies to a minimum and only use common and well-established libraries in the scientific python ecosystem. Currently, we only depend on the following 3 Python packages:

  • plotly - The interactive graphing backend that powers ridgeplot

  • statsmodels - Used for Kernel Density Estimation (KDE)

  • numpy - Supporting library for multidimensional array manipulations
