What is this?

EarlySign is a Python library for sequential/safe testing (alpha-spending, e-processes, etc.).

1. Group sequential tests for interim analysis
   • By using alpha-spending functions to control the overall Type I error rate, you can stop early for efficacy or futility, making your experiments more efficient without compromising statistical integrity. This approach allows for a pre-specified number of interim analyses during an experiment.
2. e-processes for anytime-valid inference
   • It allows you to continuously monitor your experiments and make decisions as soon as the evidence is strong enough, without waiting for a predetermined sample size. This can lead to faster conclusions, saving time and resources, while maintaining statistical rigor.

Quick Start

pip install earlysign
