`histogram2` and `signaltonoise` deprecation from `scipy.stats`
Hello all, As part of the StatistisCleanup milestone (which I aim to complete by late August) `scipy.stats.histogram2` and `scipy.stats.signaltonoise` are to be deprecated but of course, we would like to get opinions from the community. In short: - `histogram2` is not well tested and is unnecessary since `np.histogram2d` can be used instead. - `signaltonoise` doesn't really belong in `scipy.stats` and it is rarely used. For more details, please refer to issues #602 and #609. If you have an objection or any opinion regarding this please let me know to take it into account. Regards, Abraham Escalante.

Here are the PRs from Abraham that deprecate these functions: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/4656 https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/4655 Barring any objections, those PRs will be merged soonish. Ralf
Update: Since there were no objections, the PRs were merged; issues #602 and #609 have been closed. Thanks Ralf. 2015-03-23 15:47 GMT-06:00 Ralf Gommers <ralf.gommers@gmail.com>:
