About SciKit Data

The propose of this library is to allow the data analysis process more easy and automatic.

General objectives:

• reduce boilerplate code;
• reduce time spent on data analysis tasks and;
• offer a reproducible data analysis workflow.

Generally, there is a lot of boilerplate code on data analysis task that could be resolved with reproducible mechanisms and easy data visualization methods. Another point is related to data publish. A lot of data analysts doesn’t know about open data repositories or doesn’t consider that in his/her scientific workflow communication.

Specifics objectives:

• optimize data visualization;
• integration with open data repositories to publish data;
• reproducibility on data analysis tasks through storing and recovery operations;

SkData should integrate with Pandas library (Python).
