Abstract
In this paper we are concerned with the practical issues of working with data sets common to finance, statistics, and other related fields. pandas is a new library which aims to facilitate working with these data sets and to provide a set of fundamental building blocks for implementing statistical models. We will discuss specific design issues encountered in the course of developing pandas with relevant examples and some comparisons with the R language. We conclude by discussing possible future directions for statistical computing and data analysis using Python.

Effect of Gut Microbiota and PNPLA3 rs738409 Variant on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in Obese Youth

TL;DR: Obese youth with NAFLD have a different gut microbiota composition than those withoutNAFLD, and differences were still statistically significant when controlling for factors associated with NA FLD, including PNPLA3 rs738409.

Symmetry-Aware Actor-Critic for 3D Molecular Design

TL;DR: A novel actor-critic architecture for 3D molecular design that can generate molecular structures unattainable with previous approaches is proposed by exploiting the symmetries of the design process through a rotationally covariant state-action representation based on a spherical harmonics series expansion.

Predicting Consumer Default: A Deep Learning Approach

TL;DR: A model to predict consumer default based on deep learning is developed and it is shown that the model consistently outperforms standard credit scoring models, even though it uses the same data.
