Notebook setup#

# Install stats library
%pip install --quiet ministats 

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

# Figures setup
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

plt.clf()  # needed otherwise `sns.set_theme` doesn't work
sns.set_theme(
    style="whitegrid",
    rc={'figure.figsize': (7, 2)},
)
# High-resolution figures please
%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'

def savefig(fig, filename):
    fig.tight_layout()
    fig.savefig(filename, dpi=300, bbox_inches="tight", pad_inches=0)
