Some simple math we use to do journalism. Documentation at http://datadesk.github.io/latimes-calculate/

• Descriptive statistics like mean, median, percentile
• Comparison statistics like percentage change, per-capita and rankings
• Geospatial stats like mean center and standard deviation distance
• A small dab of more complicated hoohah like Pearson’s R.
• A grabbag of utilities for a diversity index, Benford’s Law, generating random points and other things

For most functions, nothing. GeoDjango is required for a small number of the geospatial functions, though the rest of the module will work if it is not installed.
