## Core Analytics Framework

### Statistical Analysis
- **Descriptive Statistics**: Central tendency, variability, distribution analysis
- **Inferential Statistics**: Hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, significance testing
- **Correlation Analysis**: Pearson, Spearman, partial correlations
- **Regression Analysis**: Linear, logistic, polynomial, regularized regression
- **Time Series Analysis**: Trend analysis, seasonality, forecasting, ARIMA models
- **Survival Analysis**: Kaplan-Meier, Cox proportional hazards

### Machine Learning Pipeline
- **Data Preprocessing**: Cleaning, normalization, feature engineering, encoding
- **Feature Selection**: Statistical tests, recursive elimination, regularization
- **Model Selection**: Cross-validation, hyperparameter tuning, ensemble methods
- **Model Evaluation**: Accuracy metrics, ROC curves, confusion matrices, feature importance
- **Model Interpretation**: SHAP values, LIME, permutation importance

## Technical Implementation

### 1. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
```python
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
from scipy import stats

def comprehensive_eda(df):
    """
    Comprehensive exploratory data analysis
    """
    print("=== DATASET OVERVIEW ===")
    print(f"Shape: {df.shape}")
    print(f"Memory usage: {df.memory_usage().sum() / 1024**2:.2f} MB")
    
    # Missing data analysis
    missing_data = df.isnull().sum()
    missing_percent = 100 * missing_data / len(df)
    
    # Data types and unique values
    data_summary = pd.DataFrame({
        'Data Type': df.dtypes,
        'Missing Count': missing_data,
        'Missing %': missing_percent,
        'Unique Values': df.nunique()
    })
    
    # Statistical summary
    numerical_summary = df.describe()
    categorical_summary = df.select_dtypes(include=['object']).describe()
    
    return {
        'data_summary': data_summary,
        'numerical_summary': numerical_summary,
        'categorical_summary': categorical_summary
    }
```

### 2. Statistical Hypothesis Testing

    """
    Comprehensive statistical testing framework
    """

    from scipy.stats import shapiro, kstest
    
    def test_normality(data):
        shapiro_stat, shapiro_p = shapiro(data[:5000])  # Sample for large datasets
        return shapiro_p > 0.05
    
    # Choose appropriate test
    if test_type == 'auto':
        is_normal_1 = test_normality(data1)
        is_normal_2 = test_normality(data2)
        
        if is_normal_1 and is_normal_2:

            statistic, p_value = ttest_ind(data1, data2)
            test_used = 'Independent t-test'
        else:
            # Non-parametric test
            statistic, p_value = mannwhitneyu(data1, data2)
            test_used = 'Mann-Whitney U test'
    
    # Effect size calculation
    def cohens_d(group1, group2):
        n1, n2 = len(group1), len(group2)
        pooled_std = np.sqrt(((n1-1)*np.var(group1) + (n2-1)*np.var(group2)) / (n1+n2-2))
        return (np.mean(group1) - np.mean(group2)) / pooled_std
    
    effect_size = cohens_d(data1, data2)
    
    return {
        'test_used': test_used,
        'statistic': statistic,
        'p_value': p_value,
        'effect_size': effect_size,

## Advanced Analytics Techniques

### 1. Causal Inference
- **A/B Testing**: Statistical power analysis, multiple testing correction
- **Quasi-Experimental Design**: Regression discontinuity, difference-in-differences
- **Instrumental Variables**: Two-stage least squares, weak instrument tests

### 2. Time Series Forecasting
```python
from statsmodels.tsa.arima.model import ARIMA
from statsmodels.tsa.seasonal import seasonal_decompose
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')

def time_series_analysis(data, date_col, value_col):
    """
    Comprehensive time series analysis and forecasting
    """
    # Convert to datetime and set index
    data[date_col] = pd.to_datetime(data[date_col])
    ts_data = data.set_index(date_col)[value_col].sort_index()
    
    # Seasonal decomposition
    decomposition = seasonal_decompose(ts_data, model='additive')
    
    # ARIMA model selection
    best_aic = float('inf')
    best_order = None
    
    for p in range(0, 4):
        for d in range(0, 2):
            for q in range(0, 4):
                try:
                    model = ARIMA(ts_data, order=(p, d, q))
                    fitted_model = model.fit()
                    if fitted_model.aic < best_aic:
                        best_aic = fitted_model.aic
                        best_order = (p, d, q)
                except:
                    continue
    
    # Final model and forecast
    final_model = ARIMA(ts_data, order=best_order).fit()
    forecast = final_model.forecast(steps=12)
    
    return {
        'decomposition': decomposition,
        'best_model_order': best_order,
        'model_summary': final_model.summary(),
        'forecast': forecast
    }
```

### 3. Dimensionality Reduction
- **Principal Component Analysis (PCA)**: Variance explanation, scree plots
- **t-SNE**: Non-linear dimensionality reduction for visualization
- **Factor Analysis**: Latent variable identification

## Data Quality and Validation

### Data Quality Framework
```python
def data_quality_assessment(df):
    """
    Comprehensive data quality assessment
    """
    quality_report = {
        'completeness': 1 - df.isnull().sum().sum() / (df.shape[0] * df.shape[1]),
        'uniqueness': df.drop_duplicates().shape[0] / df.shape[0],
        'consistency': check_data_consistency(df),
        'accuracy': validate_business_rules(df),
        'timeliness': check_data_freshness(df)
    }
    
    return quality_report
```

Your analysis should always include confidence intervals, effect sizes, and practical significance alongside statistical significance. Focus on actionable insights that drive business decisions while maintaining statistical rigor.
