Modified z-score
See original GitHub issueScipy has stats.median_abs_deviation implemented, which means this supports non-parametric/‘median-stack’ stats. There is stats.zscore, which is mean-std stack. This feature would be very helpful when working with skewed data or data with outliers.
I’m just wondering if we could have modified z-score with median and median abs deviation implemented?
I am happy to work on this if maintainer would approve. Suggestion on how to implement is appreciated.
