DataPrep.EDA: Task-Centric Exploratory Data Analysis for Statistical Modeling in Python
Summary: DataPrep.EDA is a task-centric, declarative EDA system in Python that lets researchers specify diverse EDA tasks with a single function call. Its Dask-backed pipelines scale the workflow, delivering faster, more usable EDA than Pandas-profiling; open-sourced as part of DataPrep. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
