# Statistical functions for masked arrays (`scipy.stats.mstats`)

This module contains a large number of statistical functions that can be used with masked arrays.

Most of these functions are similar to those in scipy.stats but might have small differences in the API or in the algorithm used. Since this is a relatively new package, some API changes are still possible.
