Overview

As stated in their website:

xarray makes working with multi-dimensional labeled arrays simple, efficient and fun!

The code is often more verbose, but it is generally because it is clearer and thus less error prone and more intuitive. Here are some examples of such trade-off where we believe the increased clarity is worth the extra characters:

numpy	xarray
a[2, 5]	da.sel(drug="paracetamol", subject=5)
a.mean(axis=(0, 1))	da.mean(dim=("chain", "draw"))
a.reshape((-1, 10))	da.stack(sample=("chain", "draw"))
a.transpose(2, 0, 1)	da.transpose("drug", "chain", "draw")

In some other cases however, using xarray can result in overly verbose code that often also becomes less clear. xarray_einstats provides wrappers around some numpy and scipy functions (mostly numpy.linalg and scipy.stats) and around einops with an api and features adapted to xarray.
