Features

  • Automatically switch between Student's T, binomial simulation bootstrapping, or normal sampling distribution based on the sample size
  • Computer the confidence interval for the sampling distribution given a confidence level
  • Carry out hypothesis testing for both mean (for numerical sample data) and proportion (for categorical sample data)
  • Carry out hypothesis testing between two different experiment setup (or two different distinct groups or populations)
  • Anova: Carry out hypothesis testing on whether a numerical variable is independent of a categorical variable given a sample data table containing the two variables as columns
  • Chi-Square Testing: Carry out hypothesis testing on whether two categorical variables are independent of each other given a sample data table containing the two variables as columns
  • Anova for regression: Carry out hypothesis testing on whether two numerical variables are independent of each other given a sample data table containing the two variables as columns

Usage

Numerical sample

The sample code below shows how to create numerical sample:

sample = Sample()
sample.add_numeric(x=0.001)
sample.add_numeric(x=0.02)
...

print(sample.size()) # return the rows in the sample data table
print(sample.is_numerical()) # return True
print(sample.is_categorical()) # return False
print(sample.get(0).x) # return 0.001
print(sample.get(1).x) # return 0.02

In the above code, the numerical variable is 'x'

Categorical sample

The sample code below shows how to create categorical sample:

sample = Sample()
sample.add_category(label="OK")
sample.add_category(label="CANCEL")
sample.add_category(label="OK")
...

print(sample.size()) # return the rows int the sample data table
print(sample.is_categorical()) # return True
print(sample.is_numerical()) # return False
print(sample.get(0).label) # return "OK"
print(sample.get(1).label) # return "CANCEL"

In the above code, the categorical variable is 'label'

Sample containing one numerical variable and one categorical variables

The sample code below shows how to create a sample containing two columns (one numerical and the other categorical):

sample = Sample()
sample.add_numeric(x=0.001, group_id='grp1')
sample.add_numeric(x=0.02, group_id='grp1')
sample.add_numeric(x=0.003, group_id='grp1')
...

print(sample.size()) # return the rows in the sample data table
print(sample.is_numerical()) # return True
print(sample.is_categorical()) # return False
print(sample.get(0).x) # return 0.001
print(sample.get(0).group_id) # return 'grp1'
print(sample.get(1).x) # return 0.02
print(sample.get(1).group_id) # return 'grp1'

In the above code, the numerical variable is 'x' and the categorical variable is 'group_id'

Sample containing two categorical variables as its data columns

The sample code below shows how to create a sample containing two categorical columns

sample = Sample()
sample.add_category(label='OK', group_id='grp1')
sample.add_category(label='CANCEL', group_id='grp1')
sample.add_category(label='OK', group_id='grp1')
...

print(sample.size()) # return the rows int the sample data table
print(sample.is_categorical()) # return True
print(sample.is_numerical()) # return False
print(sample.get(0).label) # return "OK"
print(sample.get(0).group_id) # return 'grp1'
print(sample.get(1).label) # return "CANCEL"
print(sample.get(1).group_id) # return 'grp1'

In the above code, the first categorical variable is 'label', and the second categorical variable is 'group_id'

Sample containing two numerical variables as its data columns

The sample code below shows how to create a sample containing two numerical columns

sample = Sample()
sample.add_xy(x=0.001, y=0.01)
sample.add_xy(x=0.02, y=0.2)
...

print(sample.size()) # return the rows in the sample data table
print(sample.is_numerical()) # return True
print(sample.is_categorical()) # return False
print(sample.get(0).x) # return 0.001
print(sample.get(0).y) # return 0.01
print(sample.get(1).x) # return 0.02
print(sample.get(1).y) # return 0.2

    sample.add_category('itemA' if numpy.random.randn() > 0 else 'itemB', 'group1')
    sample.add_category('itemA' if numpy.random.randn() > 0 else 'itemB', 'group2')

testing = ChiSquare(sample=sample)
