SciPy 1.13.0 Release Notes

SciPy 1.13.0 is the culmination of 3 months of hard work. This out-of-band release aims to support NumPy 2.0.0, and is backwards compatible to NumPy 1.22.4. The version of OpenBLAS used to build the PyPI wheels has been increased to 0.3.26.dev.

This release requires Python 3.9+ and NumPy 1.22.4 or greater.

For running on PyPy, PyPy3 6.0+ is required.

Highlights of this release

  • Support for NumPy 2.0.0.
  • Interactive examples have been added to the documentation, allowing users to run the examples locally on embedded Jupyterlite notebooks in their browser.
  • Preliminary 1D array support for the COO and DOK sparse formats.
  • Several scipy.stats functions have gained support for additional axis, nan_policy, and keepdims arguments. scipy.stats also has several performance and accuracy improvements.

New features

scipy.integrate improvements

  • The terminal attribute of scipy.integrate.solve_ivp events callables now additionally accepts integer values to specify a number of occurrences required for termination, rather than the previous restriction of only accepting a bool value to terminate on the first registered event.

scipy.io improvements

  • scipy.io.wavfile.write has improved dtype input validation.

scipy.interpolate improvements

  • The Modified Akima Interpolation has been added to interpolate.Akima1DInterpolator, available via the new method argument.
  • New method BSpline.insert_knot inserts a knot into a BSpline instance. This routine is similar to the module-level scipy.interpolate.insert function, and works with the BSpline objects instead of tck tuples.
  • RegularGridInterpolator gained the functionality to compute derivatives in place. For instance, RegularGridInterolator((x, y), values, method="cubic")(xi, nu=(1, 1)) evaluates the mixed second derivative, :math:\partial^2 / \partial x \partial y at xi.
  • Performance characteristics of tensor-product spline methods of RegularGridInterpolator have been changed: evaluations should be significantly faster, while construction might be slower. If you experience issues with construction times, you may need to experiment with optional keyword arguments solver and solver_args. Previous behavior (fast construction, slow evaluations) can be obtained via "*_legacy" methods: method="cubic_legacy" is exactly equivalent to method="cubic" in previous releases. See gh-19633 for details.

scipy.signal improvements

  • Many filter design functions now have improved input validation for the sampling frequency (fs).

scipy.sparse improvements

  • coo_array now supports 1D shapes, and has additional 1D support for min, max, argmin, and argmax. The DOK format now has preliminary 1D support as well, though only supports simple integer indices at the time of writing.
  • Experimental support has been added for pydata/sparse array inputs to scipy.sparse.csgraph.
  • dok_array and dok_matrix now have proper implementations of fromkeys.
  • csr and csc formats now have improved setdiag performance.

scipy.spatial improvements

  • voronoi_plot_2d now draws Voronoi edges to infinity more clearly when the aspect ratio is skewed.

scipy.special improvements

  • All Fortran code, namely, AMOS, specfun, and cdflib libraries that the majority of special functions depend on, is ported to Cython/C.
  • The function factorialk now also supports faster, approximate calculation using exact=False.

scipy.stats improvements

  • scipy.stats.rankdata and scipy.stats.wilcoxon have been vectorized, improving their performance and the performance of hypothesis tests that depend on them.
  • stats.mannwhitneyu should now be faster due to a vectorized statistic calculation, improved caching, improved exploitation of symmetry, and a memory reduction. PermutationMethod support was also added.
  • scipy.stats.mood now has nan_policy and keepdims support.
  • scipy.stats.brunnermunzel now has axis and keepdims support.
  • scipy.stats.friedmanchisquare, scipy.stats.shapiro, scipy.stats.normaltest, scipy.stats.skewtest, scipy.stats.kurtosistest, scipy.stats.f_oneway, scipy.stats.alexandergovern, scipy.stats.combine_pvalues, and scipy.stats.kstest have gained axis, nan_policy and keepdims support.
  • scipy.stats.boxcox_normmax has gained a ymax parameter to allow user specification of the maximum value of the transformed data.
  • scipy.stats.vonmises pdf method has been extended to support kappa=0. The fit method is also more performant due to the use of non-trivial bounds to solve for kappa.
  • High order moment calculations for scipy.stats.powerlaw are now more accurate.
  • The fit methods of scipy.stats.gamma (with method='mm') and scipy.stats.loglaplace are faster and more reliable.
  • scipy.stats.goodness_of_fit now supports the use of a custom statistic provided by the user.
  • scipy.stats.wilcoxon now supports PermutationMethod, enabling calculation of accurate p-values in the presence of ties and zeros.
  • scipy.stats.monte_carlo_test now has improved robustness in the face of numerical noise.
  • scipy.stats.wasserstein_distance_nd was introduced to compute the Wasserstein-1 distance between two N-D discrete distributions.

Deprecated features

  • Complex dtypes in PchipInterpolator and Akima1DInterpolator have been deprecated and will raise an error in SciPy 1.15.0. If you are trying to use the real components of the passed array, use np.real on y.
  • Non-integer values of n together with exact=True are deprecated for scipy.special.factorial.

Expired Deprecations

There is an ongoing effort to follow through on long-standing deprecations. The following previously deprecated features are affected:

  • scipy.signal.{lsim2,impulse2,step2} have been removed in favour of scipy.signal.{lsim,impulse,step}.
  • Window functions can no longer be imported from the scipy.signal namespace and instead should be accessed through either scipy.signal.windows or scipy.signal.get_window.
  • scipy.sparse no longer supports multi-Ellipsis indexing
  • scipy.signal.{bspline,quadratic,cubic} have been removed in favour of alternatives in scipy.interpolate.
  • scipy.linalg.tri{,u,l} have been removed in favour of numpy.tri{,u,l}.
  • Non-integer arrays in scipy.special.factorial with exact=True now raise an error.
  • Functions from NumPy's main namespace which were exposed in SciPy's main namespace, such as numpy.histogram exposed by scipy.histogram, have been removed from SciPy's main namespace. Please use the functions directly from numpy. This was originally performed for SciPy 1.12.0 however was missed from the release notes so is included here for completeness.

Backwards incompatible changes

Other changes

  • The second argument of scipy.stats.moment has been renamed to order while maintaining backward compatibility.

v1.12.0

SciPy 1.12.0 Release Notes

SciPy 1.12.0 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 1.12.x branch, and on adding new features on the main branch.

This release requires Python 3.9+ and NumPy 1.22.4 or greater.

For running on PyPy, PyPy3 6.0+ is required.

Highlights of this release

  • Experimental support for the array API standard has been added to part of scipy.special, and to all of scipy.fft and scipy.cluster. There are likely to be bugs and early feedback for usage with CuPy arrays, PyTorch tensors, and other array API compatible libraries is appreciated. Use the SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable for testing.
  • A new class, ShortTimeFFT, provides a more versatile implementation of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), its inverse (ISTFT) as well as the (cross-) spectrogram. It utilizes an improved algorithm for calculating the ISTFT.
  • Several new constructors have been added for sparse arrays, and many operations now additionally support sparse arrays, further facilitating the migration from sparse matrices.
  • A large portion of the scipy.stats API now has improved support for handling NaN values, masked arrays, and more fine-grained shape-handling. The accuracy and performance of a number of stats methods have been improved, and a number of new statistical tests and distributions have been added.

New features

scipy.cluster improvements

  • Experimental support added for the array API standard; PyTorch tensors, CuPy arrays and array API compatible array libraries are now accepted (GPU support is limited to functions with pure Python implementations). CPU arrays which can be converted to and from NumPy are supported module-wide and returned arrays will match the input type. This behaviour is enabled by setting the SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable before importing scipy. This experimental support is still under development and likely to contain bugs - testing is very welcome.

scipy.fft improvements

  • Experimental support added for the array API standard; functions which are part of the fft array API standard extension module, as well as the Fast Hankel Transforms and the basic FFTs which are not in the extension module, now accept PyTorch tensors, CuPy arrays and array API compatible array libraries. CPU arrays which can be converted to and from NumPy arrays are supported module-wide and returned arrays will match the input type. This behaviour is enabled by setting the SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable before importing scipy. This experimental support is still under development and likely to contain bugs - testing is very welcome.

scipy.integrate improvements

  • Added scipy.integrate.cumulative_simpson for cumulative quadrature from sampled data using Simpson's 1/3 rule.

scipy.interpolate improvements

  • New class NdBSpline represents tensor-product splines in N dimensions. This class only knows how to evaluate a tensor product given coefficients and knot vectors. This way it generalizes BSpline for 1D data to N-D, and parallels NdPPoly (which represents N-D tensor product polynomials). Evaluations exploit the localized nature of b-splines.
  • NearestNDInterpolator.__call__ accepts **query_options, which are passed through to the KDTree.query call to find nearest neighbors. This allows, for instance, to limit the neighbor search distance and parallelize the query using the workers keyword.
  • BarycentricInterpolator now allows computing the derivatives.
  • It is now possible to change interpolation values in an existing CloughTocher2DInterpolator instance, while also saving the barycentric coordinates of interpolation points.

scipy.linalg improvements

  • Access to new low-level LAPACK functions is provided via dtgsyl and stgsyl.

scipy.optimize improvements

  • scipy.optimize.isotonic_regression has been added to allow nonparametric isotonic regression.
  • scipy.optimize.nnls is rewritten in Python and now implements the so-called fnnls or fast nnls, making it more efficient for high-dimensional problems.
  • The result object of scipy.optimize.root and scipy.optimize.root_scalar now reports the method used.
  • The callback method of scipy.optimize.differential_evolution can now be passed more detailed information via the intermediate_results keyword parameter. Also, the evolution strategy now accepts a callable for additional customization. The performance of differential_evolution has also been improved.
  • scipy.optimize.minimize method Newton-CG now supports functions that return sparse Hessian matrices/arrays for the hess parameter and is slightly more efficient.
  • scipy.optimize.minimize method BFGS now accepts an initial estimate for the inverse of the Hessian, which allows for more efficient workflows in some circumstances. The new parameter is hess_inv0.
  • scipy.optimize.minimize methods CG, Newton-CG, and BFGS now accept parameters c1 and c2, allowing specification of the Armijo and curvature rule parameters, respectively.
  • scipy.optimize.curve_fit performance has improved due to more efficient memoization of the callable function.

scipy.signal improvements

  • freqz, freqz_zpk, and group_delay are now more accurate when fs has a default value.
  • The new class ShortTimeFFT provides a more versatile implementation of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), its inverse (ISTFT) as well as the (cross-) spectrogram. It utilizes an improved algorithm for calculating the ISTFT based on dual windows and provides more fine-grained control of the parametrization especially in regard to scaling and phase-shift. Functionality was implemented to ease working with signal and STFT chunks. A section has been added to the "SciPy User Guide" providing algorithmic details. The functions stft, istft and spectrogram have been marked as legacy.

scipy.sparse improvements

  • sparse.linalg iterative solvers sparse.linalg.cg, sparse.linalg.cgs, sparse.linalg.bicg, sparse.linalg.bicgstab, sparse.linalg.gmres, and sparse.linalg.qmr are rewritten in Python.
  • Updated vendored SuperLU version to 6.0.1, along with a few additional fixes.
  • Sparse arrays have gained additional constructors: eye_array, random_array, block_array, and identity. kron and kronsum have been adjusted to additionally support operation on sparse arrays.
  • Sparse matrices now support a transpose with axes=(1, 0), to mirror the .T method.
  • LaplacianNd now allows selection of the largest subset of eigenvalues, and additionally now supports retrieval of the corresponding eigenvectors. The performance of LaplacianNd has also been improved.
  • The performance of dok_matrix and dok_array has been improved, and their inheritance behavior should be more robust.
  • hstack, vstack, and block_diag now work with sparse arrays, and preserve the input sparse type.
  • A new function, scipy.sparse.linalg.matrix_power, has been added, allowing for exponentiation of sparse arrays.

scipy.spatial improvements

  • Two new methods were implemented for spatial.transform.Rotation: __pow__ to raise a rotation to integer or fractional power and approx_equal to check if two rotations are approximately equal.
  • The method Rotation.align_vectors was extended to solve a constrained alignment problem where two vectors are required to be aligned precisely. Also when given a single pair of vectors, the algorithm now returns the rotation with minimal magnitude, which can be considered as a minor backward incompatible change.
  • A new representation for spatial.transform.Rotation called Davenport angles is available through from_davenport and as_davenport methods.
  • Performance improvements have been added to distance.hamming and distance.correlation.
  • Improved performance of SphericalVoronoi sort_vertices_of_regions and two dimensional area calculations.

scipy.special improvements

  • Added scipy.special.stirling2 for computation of Stirling numbers of the second kind. Both exact calculation and an asymptotic approximation (the default) are supported via exact=True and exact=False (the default) respectively.
  • Added scipy.special.betaincc for computation of the complementary incomplete Beta function and scipy.special.betainccinv for computation of its inverse.
  • Improved precision of scipy.special.betainc and scipy.special.betaincinv.
  • Experimental support added for alternative backends: functions scipy.special.log_ndtr, scipy.special.ndtr, scipy.special.ndtri, scipy.special.erf, scipy.special.erfc, scipy.special.i0, scipy.special.i0e, scipy.special.i1, scipy.special.i1e, scipy.special.gammaln, scipy.special.gammainc, scipy.special.gammaincc, scipy.special.logit, and scipy.special.expit now accept PyTorch tensors and CuPy arrays. These features are still under development and likely to contain bugs, so they are disabled by default; enable them by setting a SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable to 1 before importing scipy. Testing is appreciated!

scipy.stats improvements

  • Added scipy.stats.quantile_test, a nonparametric test of whether a hypothesized value is the quantile associated with a specified probability. The confidence_interval method of the result object gives a confidence interval of the quantile.
  • scipy.stats.sampling.FastGeneratorInversion provides a convenient interface to fast random sampling via numerical inversion of distribution CDFs.
  • scipy.stats.geometric_discrepancy adds geometric/topological discrepancy metrics for random samples.
  • scipy.stats.multivariate_normal now has a fit method for fitting distribution parameters to data via maximum likelihood estimation.
  • scipy.stats.bws_test performs the Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler test of whether two-samples were drawn from the same distribution.
  • scipy.stats.jf_skew_t implements the Jones and Faddy skew-t distribution.
  • scipy.stats.anderson_ksamp now supports a permutation version of the test using the method parameter.
  • The fit methods of scipy.stats.halfcauchy, scipy.stats.halflogistic, and scipy.stats.halfnorm are faster and more accurate.
  • scipy.stats.beta entropy accuracy has been improved for extreme values of distribution parameters.
  • The accuracy of sf and/or isf methods have been improved for several distributions: scipy.stats.burr, scipy.stats.hypsecant, scipy.stats.kappa3, scipy.stats.loglaplace, scipy.stats.lognorm, scipy.stats.lomax, scipy.stats.pearson3, scipy.stats.rdist, and scipy.stats.pareto.
  • The following functions now support parameters axis, nan_policy, and keep_dims: scipy.stats.entropy, scipy.stats.differential_entropy, scipy.stats.variation, scipy.stats.ansari, scipy.stats.bartlett, scipy.stats.levene, scipy.stats.fligner, scipy.stats.circmean, scipy.stats.circvar, scipy.stats.circstd, scipy.stats.tmean, scipy.stats.tvar, scipy.stats.tstd, scipy.stats.tmin, scipy.stats.tmax, and scipy.stats.tsem.
  • The logpdf and fit methods of scipy.stats.skewnorm have been improved.
  • The beta negative binomial distribution is implemented as scipy.stats.betanbinom.
  • Improved performance of scipy.stats.invwishart rvs and logpdf.
  • A source of intermediate overflow in scipy.stats.boxcox_normmax with method='mle' has been eliminated, and the returned value of lmbda is constrained such that the transformed data will not overflow.
  • scipy.stats.nakagami stats is more accurate and reliable.
  • A source of intermediate overflow in scipy.norminvgauss.pdf has been eliminated.
  • Added support for masked arrays to scipy.stats.circmean, scipy.stats.circvar, scipy.stats.circstd, and scipy.stats.entropy.
  • scipy.stats.dirichlet has gained a new covariance (cov) method.
  • Improved accuracy of entropy method of scipy.stats.multivariate_t for large degrees of freedom.
  • scipy.stats.loggamma has an improved entropy method.

  • Error messages have been made clearer for objects that don't exist in the public namespace and warnings sharpened for private attributes that are not supposed to be imported at all.

  • scipy.signal.cmplx_sort has been deprecated and will be removed in SciPy 1.15. A replacement you can use is provided in the deprecation message.

  • Values the the argument initial of scipy.integrate.cumulative_trapezoid other than 0 and None are now deprecated.

  • scipy.stats.rvs_ratio_uniforms is deprecated in favour of scipy.stats.sampling.RatioUniforms

  • scipy.integrate.quadrature and scipy.integrate.romberg have been deprecated due to accuracy issues and interface shortcomings. They will be removed in SciPy 1.15. Please use scipy.integrate.quad instead.

  • Coinciding with upcoming changes to function signatures (e.g. removal of a deprecated keyword), we are deprecating positional use of keyword arguments for the affected functions, which will raise an error starting with SciPy 1.14. In some cases, this has delayed the originally announced removal date, to give time to respond to the second part of the deprecation. Affected functions are:

    • linalg.{eigh, eigvalsh, pinv}
    • integrate.simpson
    • signal.{firls, firwin, firwin2, remez}
    • sparse.linalg.{bicg, bicgstab, cg, cgs, gcrotmk, gmres, lgmres, minres, qmr, tfqmr}
    • special.comb
    • stats.kendalltau
  • All wavelet functions have been deprecated, as PyWavelets provides suitable implementations; affected functions are: signal.{daub, qmf, cascade, morlet, morlet2, ricker, cwt}

  • scipy.integrate.trapz, scipy.integrate.cumtrapz, and scipy.integrate.simps have been deprecated in favour of scipy.integrate.trapezoid, scipy.integrate.cumulative_trapezoid, and scipy.integrate.simpson respectively and will be removed in SciPy 1.14.

  • The tol argument of scipy.sparse.linalg.{bcg,bicstab,cg,cgs,gcrotmk,gmres,lgmres,minres,qmr,tfqmr} is now deprecated in favour of rtol and will be removed in SciPy 1.14. Furthermore, the default value of atol for these functions is due to change to 0.0 in SciPy 1.14.

Expired Deprecations

There is an ongoing effort to follow through on long-standing deprecations. The following previously deprecated features are affected:

  • The centered keyword of scipy.stats.qmc.LatinHypercube has been removed. Use scrambled=False instead of centered=True.
  • scipy.stats.binom_test has been removed in favour of scipy.stats.binomtest.
  • In scipy.stats.iqr, the use of scale='raw' has been removed in favour of scale=1.
  • Functions from NumPy's main namespace which were exposed in SciPy's main namespace, such as numpy.histogram exposed by scipy.histogram, have been removed from SciPy's main namespace. Please use the functions directly from numpy.

SciPy 1.12.0 Release Notes

Note: SciPy 1.12.0 is not released yet!

SciPy 1.12.0 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 1.12.x branch, and on adding new features on the main branch.

This release requires Python 3.9+ and NumPy 1.22.4 or greater.

For running on PyPy, PyPy3 6.0+ is required.

Highlights of this release

  • Experimental support for the array API standard has been added to part of scipy.special, and to all of scipy.fft and scipy.cluster. There are likely to be bugs and early feedback for usage with CuPy arrays, PyTorch tensors, and other array API compatible libraries is appreciated. Use the SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable for testing.
  • A new class, ShortTimeFFT, provides a more versatile implementation of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), its inverse (ISTFT) as well as the (cross-) spectrogram. It utilizes an improved algorithm for calculating the ISTFT.
  • Several new constructors have been added for sparse arrays, and many operations now additionally support sparse arrays, further facilitating the migration from sparse matrices.
  • A large portion of the scipy.stats API now has improved support for handling NaN values, masked arrays, and more fine-grained shape-handling. The accuracy and performance of a number of stats methods have been improved, and a number of new statistical tests and distributions have been added.

New features

scipy.cluster improvements

  • Experimental support added for the array API standard; PyTorch tensors, CuPy arrays and array API compatible array libraries are now accepted (GPU support is limited to functions with pure Python implementations). CPU arrays which can be converted to and from NumPy are supported module-wide and returned arrays will match the input type. This behaviour is enabled by setting the SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable before importing scipy. This experimental support is still under development and likely to contain bugs - testing is very welcome.

scipy.fft improvements

  • Experimental support added for the array API standard; functions which are part of the fft array API standard extension module, as well as the Fast Hankel Transforms and the basic FFTs which are not in the extension module, now accept PyTorch tensors, CuPy arrays and array API compatible array libraries. CPU arrays which can be converted to and from NumPy arrays are supported module-wide and returned arrays will match the input type. This behaviour is enabled by setting the SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable before importing scipy. This experimental support is still under development and likely to contain bugs - testing is very welcome.

scipy.integrate improvements

  • Added scipy.integrate.cumulative_simpson for cumulative quadrature from sampled data using Simpson's 1/3 rule.

scipy.interpolate improvements

  • New class NdBSpline represents tensor-product splines in N dimensions. This class only knows how to evaluate a tensor product given coefficients and knot vectors. This way it generalizes BSpline for 1D data to N-D, and parallels NdPPoly (which represents N-D tensor product polynomials). Evaluations exploit the localized nature of b-splines.
  • NearestNDInterpolator.__call__ accepts **query_options, which are passed through to the KDTree.query call to find nearest neighbors. This allows, for instance, to limit the neighbor search distance and parallelize the query using the workers keyword.
  • BarycentricInterpolator now allows computing the derivatives.
  • It is now possible to change interpolation values in an existing CloughTocher2DInterpolator instance, while also saving the barycentric coordinates of interpolation points.

scipy.linalg improvements

  • Access to new low-level LAPACK functions is provided via dtgsyl and stgsyl.

scipy.ndimage improvements

scipy.optimize improvements

  • scipy.optimize.nnls is rewritten in Python and now implements the so-called fnnls or fast nnls.
  • The result object of scipy.optimize.root and scipy.optimize.root_scalar now reports the method used.
  • The callback method of scipy.optimize.differential_evolution can now be passed more detailed information via the intermediate_results keyword parameter. Also, the evolution strategy now accepts a callable for additional customization. The performance of differential_evolution has also been improved.
  • minimize method Newton-CG has been made slightly more efficient.
  • minimize method BFGS now accepts an initial estimate for the inverse of the Hessian, which allows for more efficient workflows in some circumstances. The new parameter is hess_inv0.
  • minimize methods CG, Newton-CG, and BFGS now accept parameters c1 and c2, allowing specification of the Armijo and curvature rule parameters, respectively.
  • curve_fit performance has improved due to more efficient memoization of the callable function.
  • isotonic_regression has been added to allow nonparametric isotonic regression.

scipy.signal improvements

  • freqz, freqz_zpk, and group_delay are now more accurate when fs has a default value.
  • The new class ShortTimeFFT provides a more versatile implementation of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), its inverse (ISTFT) as well as the (cross-) spectrogram. It utilizes an improved algorithm for calculating the ISTFT based on dual windows and provides more fine-grained control of the parametrization especially in regard to scaling and phase-shift. Functionality was implemented to ease working with signal and STFT chunks. A section has been added to the "SciPy User Guide" providing algorithmic details. The functions stft, istft and spectrogram have been marked as legacy.

scipy.sparse improvements

  • sparse.linalg iterative solvers sparse.linalg.cg, sparse.linalg.cgs, sparse.linalg.bicg, sparse.linalg.bicgstab, sparse.linalg.gmres, and sparse.linalg.qmr are rewritten in Python.
  • Updated vendored SuperLU version to 6.0.1, along with a few additional fixes.
  • Sparse arrays have gained additional constructors: eye_array, random_array, block_array, and identity. kron and kronsum have been adjusted to additionally support operation on sparse arrays.
  • Sparse matrices now support a transpose with axes=(1, 0), to mirror the .T method.
  • LaplacianNd now allows selection of the largest subset of eigenvalues, and additionally now supports retrieval of the corresponding eigenvectors. The performance of LaplacianNd has also been improved.
  • The performance of dok_matrix and dok_array has been improved, and their inheritance behavior should be more robust.
  • hstack, vstack, and block_diag now work with sparse arrays, and preserve the input sparse type.
  • A new function, scipy.sparse.linalg.matrix_power, has been added, allowing for exponentiation of sparse arrays.

scipy.spatial improvements

  • Two new methods were implemented for spatial.transform.Rotation: __pow__ to raise a rotation to integer or fractional power and approx_equal to check if two rotations are approximately equal.
  • The method Rotation.align_vectors was extended to solve a constrained alignment problem where two vectors are required to be aligned precisely. Also when given a single pair of vectors, the algorithm now returns the rotation with minimal magnitude, which can be considered as a minor backward incompatible change.
  • A new representation for spatial.transform.Rotation called Davenport angles is available through from_davenport and as_davenport methods.
  • Performance improvements have been added to distance.hamming and distance.correlation.
  • Improved performance of SphericalVoronoi sort_vertices_of_regions and two dimensional area calculations.

scipy.special improvements

  • Added scipy.special.stirling2 for computation of Stirling numbers of the second kind. Both exact calculation and an asymptotic approximation (the default) are supported via exact=True and exact=False (the default) respectively.
  • Added scipy.special.betaincc for computation of the complementary incomplete Beta function and scipy.special.betainccinv for computation of its inverse.
  • Improved precision of scipy.special.betainc and scipy.special.betaincinv
  • Experimental support added for alternative backends: functions scipy.special.log_ndtr, scipy.special.ndtr, scipy.special.ndtri, scipy.special.erf, scipy.special.erfc, scipy.special.i0, scipy.special.i0e, scipy.special.i1, scipy.special.i1e, scipy.special.gammaln, scipy.special.gammainc, scipy.special.gammaincc, scipy.special.logit, and scipy.special.expit now accept PyTorch tensors and CuPy arrays. These features are still under development and likely to contain bugs, so they are disabled by default; enable them by setting a SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable to 1 before importing scipy. Testing is appreciated!

scipy.stats improvements

  • Added scipy.stats.quantile_test, a nonparametric test of whether a hypothesized value is the quantile associated with a specified probability. The confidence_interval method of the result object gives a confidence interval of the quantile.
  • scipy.stats.wasserstein_distance now computes the Wasserstein distance in the multidimensional case.
  • scipy.stats.sampling.FastGeneratorInversion provides a convenient interface to fast random sampling via numerical inversion of distribution CDFs.
  • scipy.stats.geometric_discrepancy adds geometric/topological discrepancy metrics for random samples.
  • scipy.stats.multivariate_normal now has a fit method for fitting distribution parameters to data via maximum likelihood estimation.
  • scipy.stats.bws_test performs the Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler test of whether two-samples were drawn from the same distribution.
  • scipy.stats.jf_skew_t implements the Jones and Faddy skew-t distribution.
  • scipy.stats.anderson_ksamp now supports a permutation version of the test using the method parameter.
  • The fit methods of scipy.stats.halfcauchy, scipy.stats.halflogistic, and scipy.stats.halfnorm are faster and more accurate.
  • scipy.stats.beta entropy accuracy has been improved for extreme values of distribution parameters.
  • The accuracy of sf and/or isf methods have been improved for several distributions: scipy.stats.burr, scipy.stats.hypsecant, scipy.stats.kappa3, scipy.stats.loglaplace, scipy.stats.lognorm, scipy.stats.lomax, scipy.stats.pearson3, scipy.stats.rdist, and scipy.stats.pareto.
  • The following functions now support parameters axis, nan_policy, and keep_dims: scipy.stats.entropy, scipy.stats.differential_entropy, scipy.stats.variation, scipy.stats.ansari, scipy.stats.bartlett, scipy.stats.levene, scipy.stats.fligner, scipy.stats.cirmean, scipy.stats.circvar, scipy.stats.circstd, scipy.stats.tmean, scipy.stats.tvar, scipy.stats.tstd, scipy.stats.tmin, scipy.stats.tmax, and scipy.stats.tsem`.
  • The logpdf and fit methods of scipy.stats.skewnorm have been improved.
  • The beta negative binomial distribution is implemented as scipy.stats.betanbinom.
  • The speed of scipy.stats.invwishart rvs and logpdf have been improved.
  • A source of intermediate overflow in scipy.stats.boxcox_normmax with method='mle' has been eliminated, and the returned value of lmbda is constrained such that the transformed data will not overflow.
  • scipy.stats.nakagami stats is more accurate and reliable.
  • A source of intermediate overflow in scipy.norminvgauss.pdf has been eliminated.
  • Added support for masked arrays to stats.circmean, stats.circvar, stats.circstd, and stats.entropy.
  • dirichlet has gained a new covariance (cov) method.
  • Improved accuracy of multivariate_t entropy with large degrees of freedom.
  • loggamma has an improved entropy method.

SciPy 1.12.0 Release Notes

Note: SciPy 1.12.0 is not released yet!

SciPy 1.12.0 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 1.12.x branch, and on adding new features on the main branch.

This release requires Python 3.9+ and NumPy 1.22.4 or greater.

For running on PyPy, PyPy3 6.0+ is required.

Highlights of this release

  • Experimental support for the array API standard has been added to part of scipy.special, and to all of scipy.fft and scipy.cluster. There are likely to be bugs and early feedback for usage with CuPy arrays, PyTorch tensors, and other array API compatible libraries is appreciated. Use the SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable for testing.
  • A new class, ShortTimeFFT, provides a more versatile implementation of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), its inverse (ISTFT) as well as the (cross-) spectrogram. It utilizes an improved algorithm for calculating the ISTFT.
  • Several new constructors have been added for sparse arrays, and many operations now additionally support sparse arrays, further facilitating the migration from sparse matrices.
  • A large portion of the scipy.stats API now has improved support for handling NaN values, masked arrays, and more fine-grained shape-handling. The accuracy and performance of a number of stats methods have been improved, and a number of new statistical tests and distributions have been added.

New features

scipy.cluster improvements

  • Experimental support added for the array API standard; PyTorch tensors, CuPy arrays and array API compatible array libraries are now accepted (GPU support is limited to functions with pure Python implementations). CPU arrays which can be converted to and from NumPy are supported module-wide and returned arrays will match the input type. This behaviour is enabled by setting the SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable before importing scipy. This experimental support is still under development and likely to contain bugs - testing is very welcome.

scipy.fft improvements

  • Experimental support added for the array API standard; functions which are part of the fft array API standard extension module, as well as the Fast Hankel Transforms and the basic FFTs which are not in the extension module, now accept PyTorch tensors, CuPy arrays and array API compatible array libraries. CPU arrays which can be converted to and from NumPy arrays are supported module-wide and returned arrays will match the input type. This behaviour is enabled by setting the SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable before importing scipy. This experimental support is still under development and likely to contain bugs - testing is very welcome.

scipy.integrate improvements

  • Added scipy.integrate.cumulative_simpson for cumulative quadrature from sampled data using Simpson's 1/3 rule.

scipy.interpolate improvements

  • New class NdBSpline represents tensor-product splines in N dimensions. This class only knows how to evaluate a tensor product given coefficients and knot vectors. This way it generalizes BSpline for 1D data to N-D, and parallels NdPPoly (which represents N-D tensor product polynomials). Evaluations exploit the localized nature of b-splines.
  • NearestNDInterpolator.__call__ accepts **query_options, which are passed through to the KDTree.query call to find nearest neighbors. This allows, for instance, to limit the neighbor search distance and parallelize the query using the workers keyword.
  • BarycentricInterpolator now allows computing the derivatives.
  • It is now possible to change interpolation values in an existing CloughTocher2DInterpolator instance, while also saving the barycentric coordinates of interpolation points.

scipy.linalg improvements

  • Access to new low-level LAPACK functions is provided via dtgsyl and stgsyl.

scipy.ndimage improvements

scipy.optimize improvements

  • scipy.optimize.nnls is rewritten in Python and now implements the so-called fnnls or fast nnls.
  • The result object of scipy.optimize.root and scipy.optimize.root_scalar now reports the method used.
  • The callback method of scipy.optimize.differential_evolution can now be passed more detailed information via the intermediate_results keyword parameter. Also, the evolution strategy now accepts a callable for additional customization. The performance of differential_evolution has also been improved.
  • minimize method Newton-CG has been made slightly more efficient.
  • minimize method BFGS now accepts an initial estimate for the inverse of the Hessian, which allows for more efficient workflows in some circumstances. The new parameter is hess_inv0.
  • minimize methods CG, Newton-CG, and BFGS now accept parameters c1 and c2, allowing specification of the Armijo and curvature rule parameters, respectively.
  • curve_fit performance has improved due to more efficient memoization of the callable function.
  • isotonic_regression has been added to allow nonparametric isotonic regression.

scipy.signal improvements

  • freqz, freqz_zpk, and group_delay are now more accurate when fs has a default value.
  • The new class ShortTimeFFT provides a more versatile implementation of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), its inverse (ISTFT) as well as the (cross-) spectrogram. It utilizes an improved algorithm for calculating the ISTFT based on dual windows and provides more fine-grained control of the parametrization especially in regard to scaling and phase-shift. Functionality was implemented to ease working with signal and STFT chunks. A section has been added to the "SciPy User Guide" providing algorithmic details. The functions stft, istft and spectrogram have been marked as legacy.

scipy.sparse improvements

  • sparse.linalg iterative solvers sparse.linalg.cg, sparse.linalg.cgs, sparse.linalg.bicg, sparse.linalg.bicgstab, sparse.linalg.gmres, and sparse.linalg.qmr are rewritten in Python.
  • Updated vendored SuperLU version to 6.0.1, along with a few additional fixes.
  • Sparse arrays have gained additional constructors: eye_array, random_array, block_array, and identity. kron and kronsum have been adjusted to additionally support operation on sparse arrays.
  • Sparse matrices now support a transpose with axes=(1, 0), to mirror the .T method.
  • LaplacianNd now allows selection of the largest subset of eigenvalues, and additionally now supports retrieval of the corresponding eigenvectors. The performance of LaplacianNd has also been improved.
  • The performance of dok_matrix and dok_array has been improved, and their inheritance behavior should be more robust.
  • hstack, vstack, and block_diag now work with sparse arrays, and preserve the input sparse type.
  • A new function, scipy.sparse.linalg.matrix_power, has been added, allowing for exponentiation of sparse arrays.

scipy.spatial improvements

  • Two new methods were implemented for spatial.transform.Rotation: __pow__ to raise a rotation to integer or fractional power and approx_equal to check if two rotations are approximately equal.
  • The method Rotation.align_vectors was extended to solve a constrained alignment problem where two vectors are required to be aligned precisely. Also when given a single pair of vectors, the algorithm now returns the rotation with minimal magnitude, which can be considered as a minor backward incompatible change.
  • A new representation for spatial.transform.Rotation called Davenport angles is available through from_davenport and as_davenport methods.
  • Performance improvements have been added to distance.hamming and distance.correlation.
  • Improved performance of SphericalVoronoi sort_vertices_of_regions and two dimensional area calculations.

scipy.special improvements

  • Added scipy.special.stirling2 for computation of Stirling numbers of the second kind. Both exact calculation and an asymptotic approximation (the default) are supported via exact=True and exact=False (the default) respectively.
  • Added scipy.special.betaincc for computation of the complementary incomplete Beta function and scipy.special.betainccinv for computation of its inverse.
  • Improved precision of scipy.special.betainc and scipy.special.betaincinv
  • Experimental support added for alternative backends: functions scipy.special.log_ndtr, scipy.special.ndtr, scipy.special.ndtri, scipy.special.erf, scipy.special.erfc, scipy.special.i0, scipy.special.i0e, scipy.special.i1, scipy.special.i1e, scipy.special.gammaln, scipy.special.gammainc, scipy.special.gammaincc, scipy.special.logit, and scipy.special.expit now accept PyTorch tensors and CuPy arrays. These features are still under development and likely to contain bugs, so they are disabled by default; enable them by setting a SCIPY_ARRAY_API environment variable to 1 before importing scipy. Testing is appreciated!

scipy.stats improvements

  • Added scipy.stats.quantile_test, a nonparametric test of whether a hypothesized value is the quantile associated with a specified probability. The confidence_interval method of the result object gives a confidence interval of the quantile.
  • scipy.stats.wasserstein_distance now computes the Wasserstein distance in the multidimensional case.
  • scipy.stats.sampling.FastGeneratorInversion provides a convenient interface to fast random sampling via numerical inversion of distribution CDFs.
  • scipy.stats.geometric_discrepancy adds geometric/topological discrepancy metrics for random samples.
  • scipy.stats.multivariate_normal now has a fit method for fitting distribution parameters to data via maximum likelihood estimation.
  • scipy.stats.bws_test performs the Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler test of whether two-samples were drawn from the same distribution.
  • scipy.stats.jf_skew_t implements the Jones and Faddy skew-t distribution.
  • scipy.stats.anderson_ksamp now supports a permutation version of the test using the method parameter.
  • The fit methods of scipy.stats.halfcauchy, scipy.stats.halflogistic, and scipy.stats.halfnorm are faster and more accurate.
  • scipy.stats.beta entropy accuracy has been improved for extreme values of distribution parameters.
  • The accuracy of sf and/or isf methods have been improved for several distributions: scipy.stats.burr, scipy.stats.hypsecant, scipy.stats.kappa3, scipy.stats.loglaplace, scipy.stats.lognorm, scipy.stats.lomax, scipy.stats.pearson3, scipy.stats.rdist, and scipy.stats.pareto.
  • The following functions now support parameters axis, nan_policy, and keep_dims: scipy.stats.entropy, scipy.stats.differential_entropy, scipy.stats.variation, scipy.stats.ansari, scipy.stats.bartlett, scipy.stats.levene, scipy.stats.fligner, scipy.stats.cirmean, scipy.stats.circvar, scipy.stats.circstd, scipy.stats.tmean, scipy.stats.tvar, scipy.stats.tstd, scipy.stats.tmin, scipy.stats.tmax, and scipy.stats.tsem`.
  • The logpdf and fit methods of scipy.stats.skewnorm have been improved.
  • The beta negative binomial distribution is implemented as scipy.stats.betanbinom.
  • The speed of scipy.stats.invwishart rvs and logpdf have been improved.
  • A source of intermediate overflow in scipy.stats.boxcox_normmax with method='mle' has been eliminated, and the returned value of lmbda is constrained such that the transformed data will not overflow.
  • scipy.stats.nakagami stats is more accurate and reliable.
  • A source of intermediate overflow in scipy.norminvgauss.pdf has been eliminated.
  • Added support for masked arrays to stats.circmean, stats.circvar, stats.circstd, and stats.entropy.
  • dirichlet has gained a new covariance (cov) method.
  • Improved accuracy of multivariate_t entropy with large degrees of freedom.
  • loggamma has an improved entropy method.

Deprecated features

  • Error messages have been made clearer for objects that don't exist in the public namespace and warnings sharpened for private attributes that are not supposed to be imported at all.

  • scipy.signal.cmplx_sort has been deprecated and will be removed in SciPy 1.14. A replacement you can use is provided in the deprecation message.

  • Values the the argument initial of scipy.integrate.cumulative_trapezoid other than 0 and None are now deprecated.

  • scipy.stats.rvs_ratio_uniforms is deprecated in favour of scipy.stats.sampling.RatioUniforms

  • scipy.integrate.quadrature and scipy.integrate.romberg have been deprecated due to accuracy issues and interface shortcomings. They will be removed in SciPy 1.14. Please use scipy.integrate.quad instead.

  • Coinciding with upcoming changes to function signatures (e.g. removal of a deprecated keyword), we are deprecating positional use of keyword arguments for the affected functions, which will raise an error starting with SciPy 1.14. In some cases, this has delayed the originally announced removal date, to give time to respond to the second part of the deprecation. Affected functions are:

    • linalg.{eigh, eigvalsh, pinv}
    • integrate.simpson
    • signal.{firls, firwin, firwin2, remez}
    • sparse.linalg.{bicg, bicgstab, cg, cgs, gcrotmk, gmres, lgmres, minres, qmr, tfqmr}
    • special.comb
    • stats.kendalltau
  • All wavelet functions have been deprecated, as PyWavelets provides suitable implementations; affected functions are: signal.{daub, qmf, cascade, morlet, morlet2, ricker, cwt}

Expired Deprecations

There is an ongoing effort to follow through on long-standing deprecations. The following previously deprecated features are affected:

  • The centered keyword of stats.qmc.LatinHypercube has been removed. Use scrambled=False instead of centered=True.

Backwards incompatible changes

Other changes

  • The arguments used to compile and link SciPy are now available via show_config.

v1.11.0

10 months ago

SciPy 1.11.0 Release Notes

SciPy 1.11.0 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 1.11.x branch, and on adding new features on the main branch.

This release requires Python 3.9+ and NumPy 1.21.6 or greater.

For running on PyPy, PyPy3 6.0+ is required.

Highlights of this release

  • Several scipy.sparse array API improvements, including sparse.sparray, a new public base class distinct from the older sparse.spmatrix class, proper 64-bit index support, and numerous deprecations paving the way to a modern sparse array experience.
  • scipy.stats added tools for survival analysis, multiple hypothesis testing, sensitivity analysis, and working with censored data.
  • A new function was added for quasi-Monte Carlo integration, and linear algebra functions det and lu now accept nD-arrays.
  • An axes argument was added broadly to ndimage functions, facilitating analysis of stacked image data.

New features

scipy.integrate improvements

  • Added scipy.integrate.qmc_quad for quasi-Monte Carlo integration.
  • For an even number of points, scipy.integrate.simpson now calculates a parabolic segment over the last three points which gives improved accuracy over the previous implementation.

scipy.cluster improvements

  • disjoint_set has a new method subset_size for providing the size of a particular subset.

scipy.constants improvements

  • The quetta, ronna, ronto, and quecto SI prefixes were added.

scipy.linalg improvements

  • scipy.linalg.det is improved and now accepts nD-arrays.
  • scipy.linalg.lu is improved and now accepts nD-arrays. With the new p_indices switch the output permutation argument can be 1D (n,) permutation index instead of the full (n, n) array.

scipy.ndimage improvements

  • axes argument was added to rank_filter, percentile_filter, median_filter, uniform_filter, minimum_filter, maximum_filter, and gaussian_filter, which can be useful for processing stacks of image data.

scipy.optimize improvements

  • scipy.optimize.linprog now passes unrecognized options directly to HiGHS.
  • scipy.optimize.root_scalar now uses Newton's method to be used without providing fprime and the secant method to be used without a second guess.
  • scipy.optimize.lsq_linear now accepts bounds arguments of type scipy.optimize.Bounds.
  • scipy.optimize.minimize method='cobyla' now supports simple bound constraints.
  • Users can opt into a new callback interface for most methods of scipy.optimize.minimize: If the provided callback callable accepts a single keyword argument, intermediate_result, scipy.optimize.minimize now passes both the current solution and the optimal value of the objective function to the callback as an instance of scipy.optimize.OptimizeResult. It also allows the user to terminate optimization by raising a StopIteration exception from the callback function. scipy.optimize.minimize will return normally, and the latest solution information is provided in the result object.
  • scipy.optimize.curve_fit now supports an optional nan_policy argument.
  • scipy.optimize.shgo now has parallelization with the workers argument, symmetry arguments that can improve performance, class-based design to improve usability, and generally improved performance.

scipy.signal improvements

  • istft has an improved warning message when the NOLA condition fails.

scipy.sparse improvements

  • A new public base class scipy.sparse.sparray was introduced, allowing further extension of the sparse array API (such as the support for 1-dimensional sparse arrays) without breaking backwards compatibility. isinstance(x, scipy.sparse.sparray) to select the new sparse array classes, while isinstance(x, scipy.sparse.spmatrix) selects only the old sparse matrix classes.
  • Division of sparse arrays by a dense array now returns sparse arrays.
  • scipy.sparse.isspmatrix now only returns True for the sparse matrices instances. scipy.sparse.issparse now has to be used instead to check for instances of sparse arrays or instances of sparse matrices.
  • Sparse arrays constructed with int64 indices will no longer automatically downcast to int32.
  • The argmin and argmax methods now return the correct result when explicit zeros are present.

scipy.sparse.linalg improvements

  • dividing LinearOperator by a number now returns a _ScaledLinearOperator
  • LinearOperator now supports right multiplication by arrays
  • lobpcg should be more efficient following removal of an extraneous QR decomposition.

scipy.spatial improvements

  • Usage of new C++ backend for additional distance metrics, the majority of which will see substantial performance improvements, though a few minor regressions are known. These are focused on distances between boolean arrays.

scipy.special improvements

  • The factorial functions factorial, factorial2 and factorialk were made consistent in their behavior (in terms of dimensionality, errors etc.). Additionally, factorial2 can now handle arrays with exact=True, and factorialk can handle arrays.

scipy.stats improvements

New Features

  • scipy.stats.sobol_indices, a method to compute Sobol' sensitivity indices.
  • scipy.stats.dunnett, which performs Dunnett's test of the means of multiple experimental groups against the mean of a control group.
  • scipy.stats.ecdf for computing the empirical CDF and complementary CDF (survival function / SF) from uncensored or right-censored data. This function is also useful for survival analysis / Kaplan-Meier estimation.
  • scipy.stats.logrank to compare survival functions underlying samples.
  • scipy.stats.false_discovery_control for adjusting p-values to control the false discovery rate of multiple hypothesis tests using the Benjamini-Hochberg or Benjamini-Yekutieli procedures.
  • scipy.stats.CensoredData to represent censored data. It can be used as input to the fit method of univariate distributions and to the new ecdf function.
  • Filliben's goodness of fit test as method='Filliben' of scipy.stats.goodness_of_fit.
  • scipy.stats.ttest_ind has a new method, confidence_interval for computing a confidence interval of the difference between means.
  • scipy.stats.MonteCarloMethod, scipy.stats.PermutationMethod, and scipy.stats.BootstrapMethod are new classes to configure resampling and/or Monte Carlo versions of hypothesis tests. They can currently be used with scipy.stats.pearsonr.

Statistical Distributions

  • Added the von-Mises Fisher distribution as scipy.stats.vonmises_fisher. This distribution is the most common analogue of the normal distribution on the unit sphere.

  • Added the relativistic Breit-Wigner distribution as scipy.stats.rel_breitwigner. It is used in high energy physics to model resonances.

  • Added the Dirichlet multinomial distribution as scipy.stats.dirichlet_multinomial.

  • Improved the speed and precision of several univariate statistical distributions.

    • scipy.stats.anglit sf
    • scipy.stats.beta entropy
    • scipy.stats.betaprime cdf, sf, ppf
    • scipy.stats.chi entropy

Other Improvements

  • scipy.stats.monte_carlo_test now supports multi-sample statistics.
  • scipy.stats.bootstrap can now produce one-sided confidence intervals.
  • scipy.stats.rankdata performance was improved for method=ordinal and method=dense.
  • scipy.stats.moment now supports non-central moment calculation.
  • scipy.stats.anderson now supports the weibull_min distribution.
  • scipy.stats.sem and scipy.stats.iqr now support axis, nan_policy, and masked array input.

Deprecated features

  • Multi-Ellipsis sparse matrix indexing has been deprecated and will be removed in SciPy 1.13.
  • Several methods were deprecated for sparse arrays: asfptype, getrow, getcol, get_shape, getmaxprint, set_shape, getnnz, and getformat. Additionally, the .A and .H attributes were deprecated. Sparse matrix types are not affected.
  • The scipy.linalg functions tri, triu & tril are deprecated and will be removed in SciPy 1.13. Users are recommended to use the NumPy versions of these functions with identical names.
  • The scipy.signal functions bspline, quadratic & cubic are deprecated and will be removed in SciPy 1.13. Users are recommended to use scipy.interpolate.BSpline instead.
  • The even keyword of scipy.integrate.simpson is deprecated and will be removed in SciPy 1.13.0. Users should leave this as the default as this gives improved accuracy compared to the other methods.
  • Using exact=True when passing integers in a float array to factorial is deprecated and will be removed in SciPy 1.13.0.
  • float128 and object dtypes are deprecated for scipy.signal.medfilt and scipy.signal.order_filter
  • The functions scipy.signal.{lsim2, impulse2, step2} had long been deprecated in documentation only. They now raise a DeprecationWarning and will be removed in SciPy 1.13.0.
  • Importing window functions directly from scipy.window has been soft deprecated since SciPy 1.1.0. They now raise a DeprecationWarning and will be removed in SciPy 1.13.0. Users should instead import them from scipy.signal.window or use the convenience function scipy.signal.get_window.

Backwards incompatible changes

  • The default for the legacy keyword of scipy.special.comb has changed from True to False, as announced since its introduction.

Expired Deprecations

There is an ongoing effort to follow through on long-standing deprecations. The following previously deprecated features are affected:

  • The n keyword has been removed from scipy.stats.moment.
  • The alpha keyword has been removed from scipy.stats.interval.
  • The misspelt gilbrat distribution has been removed (use scipy.stats.gibrat).
  • The deprecated spelling of the kulsinski distance metric has been removed (use scipy.spatial.distance.kulczynski1).
  • The vertices keyword of scipy.spatial.Delauney.qhull has been removed (use simplices).
  • The residual property of scipy.sparse.csgraph.maximum_flow has been removed (use flow).
  • The extradoc keyword of scipy.stats.rv_continuous, scipy.stats.rv_discrete and scipy.stats.rv_sample has been removed.
  • The sym_pos keyword of scipy.linalg.solve has been removed.
  • The scipy.optimize.minimize function now raises an error for x0 with x0.ndim > 1.
  • In scipy.stats.mode, the default value of keepdims is now False, and support for non-numeric input has been removed.
  • The function scipy.signal.lsim does not support non-uniform time steps anymore.

Other changes

  • Rewrote the source build docs and restructured the contributor guide.
  • Improved support for cross-compiling with meson build system.
  • MyST-NB notebook infrastructure has been added to our documentation.
