Hello,

We've had some good discussion on Github PR 3991 regarding namedtuple output.

Warren raised the important issue of maintaining consistent names for the same stats across the module, ie, 'pvalue' versus 'p_value', or 'standard_errror'. I went through most of the scipy.stats module and wrote down some suggestions for what the attributes of the returned namedtuples could be. My notes can be found below.

Feedback welcome for these names.

Thanks,

Clark

The pattern returned for each element of bayes_mvs is important because it is an estimate with confidence interval. It might be even be worth exposing this one publicly.

bayes_mvs: mean, variance, std_dev

    (center, (lower, upper)) -> estimate, minmax

describe: n, minmax, mean, variance, skewness, exc_kurtosis

mode: mode, count

sigmaclip: clipped, lower, upper

linregress: slope, intercept, rvalue, pvalue, stderr

anderson: stat, critical_vals, sig_level

Note `shapiro` doesn't follow the pattern below

normaltest: stat, pvalue

skewtest: stat, pvalue

kurtosistest: stat, pvalue

f_oneway: stat, pvalue

ttest_1samp: stat, pvalue

ttest_ind: stat, pvalue

ttest_rel: stat, pvalue

kstest: stat, pvalue

ks_2samp: stat, pvalue

power_divergence: stat, pvalue

mannwhitneyu: stat, pvalue

ranksums: stat, pvalue

wilcoxon: stat, pvalue

kruskal: stat, pvalue

friedmanchisquare: stat, pvalue

ansari: stat, pvalue

bartlett: stat, pvalue

levene: stat, pvalue
