P(i/y)thon h(i/y)stograms. Inspired (and based on) numpy.histogram, but designed for humans(TM) on steroids(TM).
Create rich histogram objects from numpy or dask arrays, from pandas and polars series/dataframes, from xarray datasets and a few more types of objects. Manipulate them with ease, plot them with matplotlib, vega or plotly.
In short, whatever you want to do with histograms, physt aims to be on your side.
from physt import h1
# Create the sample
heights = [160, 155, 156, 198, 177, 168, 191, 183, 184, 179, 178, 172, 173, 175,
172, 177, 176, 175, 174, 173, 174, 175, 177, 169, 168, 164, 175, 188,
178, 174, 173, 181, 185, 166, 162, 163, 171, 165, 180, 189, 166, 163,
172, 173, 174, 183, 184, 161, 162, 168, 169, 174, 176, 170, 169, 165]
hist = h1(heights, 10) # <--- get the histogram data
hist << 190 # <--- add a forgotten value
hist.plot() # <--- and plot it
from physt import h2
import seaborn as sns
iris = sns.load_dataset('iris')
iris_hist = h2(iris["sepal_length"], iris["sepal_width"], "pretty", bin_count=[12, 7], name="Iris")
iris_hist.plot(show_zero=False, cmap="gray_r", show_values=True);
import numpy as np
from physt import special_histograms
# Generate some sample data
data = np.empty((1000, 3))
data[:,0] = np.random.normal(0, 1, 1000)
data[:,1] = np.random.normal(0, 1.3, 1000)
data[:,2] = np.random.normal(1, .6, 1000)
# Get histogram data (in spherical coordinates)
h = special_histograms.spherical(data)
# And plot its projection on a globe
h.projection("theta", "phi").plot.globe_map(density=True, figsize=(7, 7), cmap="rainbow")

Using pip:
pip install physt
or conda:
conda install -c janpipek physt
- 1D histograms
- 2D histograms
- ND histograms
- Some special histograms
- 2D polar coordinates (with plotting)
- 3D spherical / cylindrical coordinates (beta)
- Adaptive rebinning for on-line filling of unknown data (beta)
- Non-consecutive bins
- Memory-effective histogramming of dask arrays (beta)
- Understands any numpy-array-like object
- Keep underflow / overflow / missed bins
- Basic numeric operations (* / + -)
- Items / slice selection (including mask arrays)
- Add new values (fill, fill_n)
- Cumulative values, densities
- Simple statistics for original data (mean, std, sem) - only for 1D histograms
- Plotting with several backends
- matplotlib (static plots with many options)
- vega (interactive plots, beta, help wanted!)
- folium (experimental for geo-data)
- plotly (very basic, help wanted!)
- ascii (experimental)
- Algorithms for optimized binning
- pretty (nice rounded bin edges)
- mathematical (statistical, quantile-based, geometrical, ...)
- IO, conversions
- I/O JSON
- I/O xarray.DataSet (experimental)
- O ROOT file (experimental)
- O pandas.DataFrame (basic)
- Rebinning
- using reference to original data?
- merging bins
- Statistics (based on original data)?
- Stacked histograms (with names)
- Potentially holoviews plotting backend (instead of the discontinued bokeh one)
- Kernel density estimates - use your favourite statistics package (like
seaborn
) - Rebinning using interpolation - it should be trivial to use
rebin
(https://github.com/jhykes/rebin) with physt
Rationale (for both): physt is dumb, but precise.
- Python 3.8+
- Numpy 1.20+
- (optional) polars (0.20, 1.0), pandas, dask, xarray - if you want to histogram those
- (optional) matplotlib - simple output
- (optional) xarray - I/O
- (optional) uproot - I/O
- (optional) astropy - additional binning algorithms
- (optional) folium - map plotting
- (optional) vega3 - for vega in-line in IPython notebook (note that to generate vega JSON, this is not necessary)
- (optional) xtermcolor - for ASCII color maps
- (testing) pytest
- (docs) sphinx, sphinx_rtd_theme, ipython

I am looking for anyone interested in using / developing physt. You can contribute by reporting errors, implementing missing features and suggest new one.
