# SciPy 1.7.0 Release Notes

SciPy 1.7.0 is the culmination of 6 months of hard work. It contains many new features, numerous bug-fixes, improved test coverage and better documentation. There have been a number of deprecations and API changes in this release, which are documented below. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release, as there are a large number of bug-fixes and optimizations. Before upgrading, we recommend that users check that their own code does not use deprecated SciPy functionality (to do so, run your code with `python -Wd` and check for `DeprecationWarning` s). Our development attention will now shift to bug-fix releases on the 1.7.x branch, and on adding new features on the master branch.

This release requires Python 3.7+ and NumPy 1.16.5 or greater.

For running on PyPy, PyPy3 6.0+ is required.

## Highlights of this release

- A new submodule for quasi-Monte Carlo, `scipy.stats.qmc`, was added

- The documentation design was updated to use the same PyData-Sphinx theme as NumPy and other ecosystem libraries.

- We now vendor and leverage the Boost C++ library to enable numerous improvements for long-standing weaknesses in `scipy.stats`

- `scipy.stats` has six new distributions, eight new (or overhauled) hypothesis tests, a new function for bootstrapping, a class that enables fast random variate sampling and percentile point function evaluation, and many other enhancements.

- `cdist` and `pdist` distance calculations are faster for several metrics, especially weighted cases, thanks to a rewrite to a new C++ backend framework

- A new class for radial basis function interpolation, RBFInterpolator, was added to address issues with the Rbf class.

We gratefully acknowledge the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative Essential Open Source Software for Science program for supporting many of the improvements to `scipy.stats`.

## New features

### `scipy.cluster` improvements

An optional argument, `seed`, has been added to `kmeans` and `kmeans2` to set the random generator and random state.

### `scipy.interpolate` improvements

Improved input validation and error messages for `fitpack.bispev` and `fitpack.parder` for scenarios that previously caused substantial confusion for users.

The class RBFInterpolator was added to supersede the Rbf class. The new class has usage that more closely follows other interpolator classes, corrects sign errors that caused unexpected smoothing behavior, includes polynomial terms in the interpolant (which are necessary for some RBF choices), and supports interpolation using only the k-nearest neighbors for memory efficiency.

### `scipy.linalg` improvements

An LAPACK wrapper was added for access to the `tgexc` subroutine.

### `scipy.ndimage` improvements

`scipy.ndimage.affine_transform` is now able to infer the `output_shape` from the `out` array.

### `scipy.optimize` improvements

The optional parameter `bounds` was added to `_minimize_neldermead` to support bounds constraints for the Nelder-Mead solver.

`trustregion` methods `trust-krylov`, `dogleg` and `trust-ncg` can now estimate `hess` by finite difference using one of `["2-point", "3-point", "cs"]`.

`halton` was added as a `sampling_method` in `scipy.optimize.shgo`. `sobol` was fixed and is now using `scipy.stats.qmc.Sobol`.

`halton` and `sobol` were added as `init` methods in scipy.optimize.differential_evolution.

`differential_evolution` now accepts an `x0` parameter to provide an initial guess for the minimization.

`least_squares` has a modest performance improvement when SciPy is built with Pythran transpiler enabled.

When `linprog` is used with `method` `'highs'`, `'highs-ipm'`, or `'highs-ds'`, the result object now reports the marginals (AKA shadow prices, dual values) and residuals associated with each constraint.

### `scipy.signal` improvements

`get_window` supports `general_cosine` and `general_hamming` window functions.

`scipy.signal.medfilt2d` now releases the GIL where appropriate to enable performance gains via multithreaded calculations.

### `scipy.sparse` improvements

Addition of `dia_matrix` sparse matrices is now faster.

### `scipy.spatial` improvements

`distance.cdist` and `distance.pdist` performance has greatly improved for certain weighted metrics. Namely: `minkowski`, `euclidean`, `chebyshev`, `canberra`, and `cityblock`.

Modest performance improvements for many of the unweighted `cdist` and `pdist` metrics noted above.

The parameter `seed` was added to scipy.spatial.vq.kmeans and scipy.spatial.vq.kmeans2.

The parameters `axis` and `keepdims` where added to `scipy.spatial.distance.jensenshannon`.

The `rotation` methods `from_rotvec` and `as_rotvec` now accept a `degrees` argument to specify usage of degrees instead of radians.

### `scipy.special` improvements

Wright’s generalized Bessel function for positive arguments was added as `scipy.special.wright_bessel`.

An implementation of the inverse of the Log CDF of the Normal Distribution is now available via `scipy.special.ndtri_exp`.

### `scipy.stats` improvements

#### Hypothesis Tests

The Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, `mannwhitneyu`, has been rewritten. It now supports n-dimensional input, an exact test method when there are no ties, and improved documentation. Please see “Other changes” for adjustments to default behavior.

The new function `scipy.stats.binomtest` replaces scipy.stats.binom_test. The new function returns an object that calculates a confidence intervals of the proportion parameter. Also, performance was improved from O(n) to O(log(n)) by using binary search.

The two-sample version of the Cramer-von Mises test is implemented in `scipy.stats.cramervonmises_2samp`.

The Alexander-Govern test is implemented in the new function `scipy.stats.alexandergovern`.

The new functions `scipy.stats.barnard_exact` and scipy.stats. boschloo_exact respectively perform Barnard’s exact test and Boschloo’s exact test for 2x2 contingency tables.

The new function `scipy.stats.page_trend_test` performs Page’s test for ordered alternatives.

The new function `scipy.stats.somersd` performs Somers’ D test for ordinal association between two variables.

An option, `permutations`, has been added in `scipy.stats.ttest_ind` to perform permutation t-tests. A `trim` option was also added to perform a trimmed (Yuen’s) t-test.

The `alternative` parameter was added to the `skewtest`, `kurtosistest`, `ranksums`, `mood`, `ansari`, `linregress`, and `spearmanr` functions to allow one-sided hypothesis testing.

#### Sample statistics

The new function `scipy.stats.differential_entropy` estimates the differential entropy of a continuous distribution from a sample.

The `boxcox` and `boxcox_normmax` now allow the user to control the optimizer used to minimize the negative log-likelihood function.

A new function `scipy.stats.contingency.relative_risk` calculates the relative risk, or risk ratio, of a 2x2 contingency table. The object returned has a method to compute the confidence interval of the relative risk.

Performance improvements in the `skew` and `kurtosis` functions achieved by removal of repeated/redundant calculations.

Substantial performance improvements in `scipy.stats.mstats.hdquantiles_sd`.

The new function `scipy.stats.contingency.association` computes several measures of association for a contingency table: Pearsons contingency coefficient, Cramer’s V, and Tschuprow’s T.

The parameter `nan_policy` was added to `scipy.stats.zmap` to provide options for handling the occurrence of `nan` in the input data.

The parameter `ddof` was added to `scipy.stats.variation` and `scipy.stats.mstats.variation`.

The parameter `weights` was added to `scipy.stats.gmean`.

#### Statistical Distributions

We now vendor and leverage the Boost C++ library to address a number of previously reported issues in `stats`. Notably, `beta`, `binom`, `nbinom` now have Boost backends, and it is straightforward to leverage the backend for additional functions.

The skew Cauchy probability distribution has been implemented as `scipy.stats.skewcauchy`.

The Zipfian probability distribution has been implemented as `scipy.stats.zipfian`.

The new distributions `nchypergeom_fisher` and `nchypergeom_wallenius` implement the Fisher and Wallenius versions of the noncentral hypergeometric distribution, respectively.

The generalized hyperbolic distribution was added in `scipy.stats.genhyperbolic`.

The studentized range distribution was added in `scipy.stats.studentized_range`.

`scipy.stats.argus` now has improved handling for small parameter values.

Better argument handling/preparation has resulted in performance improvements for many distributions.

The `cosine` distribution has added ufuncs for `ppf`, `cdf`, `sf`, and `isf` methods including numerical precision improvements at the edges of the support of the distribution.

An option to fit the distribution to data by the method of moments has been added to the `fit` method of the univariate continuous distributions.

#### Other

`scipy.stats.bootstrap` has been added to allow estimation of the confidence interval and standard error of a statistic.

The new function `scipy.stats.contingency.crosstab` computes a contingency table (i.e. a table of counts of unique entries) for the given data.

`scipy.stats.NumericalInverseHermite` enables fast random variate sampling and percentile point function evaluation of an arbitrary univariate statistical distribution.

#### New `scipy.stats.qmc` module

This new module provides Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) generators and associated helper functions.

It provides a generic class `scipy.stats.qmc.QMCEngine` which defines a QMC engine/sampler. An engine is state aware: it can be continued, advanced and reset. 3 base samplers are available:

- `scipy.stats.qmc.Sobol` the well known Sobol low discrepancy sequence. Several warnings have been added to guide the user into properly using this sampler. The sequence is scrambled by default.

- `scipy.stats.qmc.Halton`: Halton low discrepancy sequence. The sequence is scrambled by default.

- `scipy.stats.qmc.LatinHypercube`: plain LHS design.

And 2 special samplers are available:

- `scipy.stats.qmc.MultinomialQMC`: sampling from a multinomial distribution using any of the base `scipy.stats.qmc.QMCEngine`.

- `scipy.stats.qmc.MultivariateNormalQMC`: sampling from a multivariate Normal using any of the base `scipy.stats.qmc.QMCEngine`.

The module also provide the following helpers:

- `scipy.stats.qmc.discrepancy`: assess the quality of a set of points in terms of space coverage.

- `scipy.stats.qmc.update_discrepancy`: can be used in an optimization loop to construct a good set of points.

- `scipy.stats.qmc.scale`: easily scale a set of points from (to) the unit interval to (from) a given range.

## Deprecated features

### `scipy.linalg` deprecations

- scipy.linalg.pinv2 is deprecated and its functionality is completely subsumed into `scipy.linalg.pinv`

- Both `rcond`, `cond` keywords of `scipy.linalg.pinv` and `scipy.linalg.pinvh` were not working and now are deprecated. They are now replaced with functioning `atol` and `rtol` keywords with clear usage.

### `scipy.spatial` deprecations

- `scipy.spatial.distance` metrics expect 1d input vectors but will call `np.squeeze` on their inputs to accept any extra length-1 dimensions. That behaviour is now deprecated.

## Backwards incompatible changes

## Other changes

We now accept and leverage performance improvements from the ahead-of-time Python-to-C++ transpiler, Pythran, which can be optionally disabled (via `export SCIPY_USE_PYTHRAN=0`) but is enabled by default at build time.

There are two changes to the default behavior of scipy.stats.mannwhitenyu:

- For years, use of the default `alternative=None` was deprecated; explicit `alternative` specification was required. Use of the new default value of `alternative`, “two-sided”, is now permitted.

- Previously, all p-values were based on an asymptotic approximation. Now, for small samples without ties, the p-values returned are exact by default.

Support has been added for PEP 621 (project metadata in `pyproject.toml`)

We now support a Gitpod environment to reduce the barrier to entry for SciPy development; for more details see `quickstart-gitpod`.
