Alphalens is a Python library for performance analysis of predictive
(alpha) stock factors. Alphalens works great with the
[Zipline](https://www.zipline.ml4trading.io/) open source backtesting library, and [Pyfolio](https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio) which provides performance and risk analysis of financial portfolios.
The main function of Alphalens is to surface the most relevant statistics and plots about an alpha factor, including:
- Returns Analysis
- Information Coefficient Analysis
- Turnover Analysis
- Grouped Analysis
# Getting started
With a signal and pricing data creating a factor \"tear sheet\" is a two step process:
```python
import alphalens
# Ingest and format data
factor_data = alphalens.utils.get_clean_factor_and_forward_returns(my_factor,
pricing,
quantiles=5,
groupby=ticker_sector,
groupby_labels=sector_names)
# Run analysis
alphalens.tears.create_full_tear_sheet(factor_data)
```
# Learn more
Check out the [example notebooks](https://github.com/stefan-jansen/alphalens-reloaded/tree/master/alphalens/examples)
for more on how to read and use the factor tear sheet.
# Installation
Install with pip:
pip install alphalens-reloaded
Install with conda:
conda install -c ml4t alphalens-reloaded
Install from the master branch of Alphalens repository (development code):
pip install git+https://github.com/stefan-jansen/alphalens-reloaded
Alphalens depends on:
- [matplotlib](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib)
- [numpy](https://github.com/numpy/numpy)
- [pandas](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas)
- [scipy](https://github.com/scipy/scipy)
- [seaborn](https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn)
- [statsmodels](https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels)
> Note that Numpy>=2.0 requires pandas>=2.2.2. If you are using an older version of pandas, you may need to upgrade
> accordingly, otherwise you may encounter compatibility issues.
# Usage
A good way to get started is to run the examples in a [Jupyter notebook](https://jupyter.org/).
To get set up with an example, you can:
Run a Jupyter notebook server via:
```bash
jupyter notebook
```
From the notebook list page(usually found at `http://localhost:8888/`), navigate over to the examples directory, and open any file with a .ipynb extension.
Execute the code in a notebook cell by clicking on it and hitting Shift+Enter.
