Introduction
Scikits are small, independent projects that are related to SciPy in some way, but are not a part of SciPy. These projects are not entirely independent, but operate under an umbrella, as a consortium of sorts. In this chapter, we will discuss several Scikits projects, such as the following:
scikits-learn, a machine learning package
scikits-statsmodels, a statistics package
scikits-image, an image processing package
pandas, a data analysis package
