stats

Statistical analysis framework for performing basic statistical analysis of data. The data is analysed in a single pass, when a data value is pushed to the RunningStat or RunningRegress objects

RunningStat calculates for a single data set

  • n (data count)
  • min (smallest value)
  • max (largest value)
  • sum
  • mean
  • variance
  • varianceS (sample var)
  • standardDeviation
  • standardDeviationS (sample stddev)
  • skewness (the third statistical moment)
  • kurtosis (the fourth statistical moment)

RunningRegress calculates for two sets of data

  • n
  • slope
  • intercept
  • correlation

Procs have been provided to calculate statistics on arrays and sequences.

However, if more than a single statistical calculation is required, it is more efficient to push the data once to the RunningStat object, and call the numerous statistical procs for the RunningStat object.

var rs: RunningStat
rs.push(MySeqOfData)
rs.mean()
rs.variance()
rs.skewness()
rs.kurtosis()

Types

RunningStat = object
  n*: int                      ## number of pushed data
  min*, max*, sum*: float        ## self-explaining
  mom1, mom2, mom3, mom4: float   ## statistical moments, mom1 is mean

RunningRegress = object
  n*: int                      ## number of pushed data
  x_stats*: RunningStat        ## stats for first set of data
  y_stats*: RunningStat        ## stats for second set of data
  s_xy: float                  ## accumulated data for combined xy

Procs

proc clear(s: var RunningStat) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
reset s   Source Edit
proc push(s: var RunningStat; x: float) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
pushes a value x for processing   Source Edit
proc push(s: var RunningStat; x: int) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

pushes a value x for processing.

x is simply converted to float and the other push operation is called.

  Source Edit
proc push(s: var RunningStat; x: openArray[float | int])

pushes all values of x for processing.

Int values of x are simply converted to float and the other push operation is called.

  Source Edit
proc mean(s: RunningStat): float {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
computes the current mean of s   Source Edit
proc variance(s: RunningStat): float {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
computes the current population variance of s   Source Edit
proc varianceS(s: RunningStat): float {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
computes the current sample variance of s   Source Edit
proc standardDeviation(s: RunningStat): float {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
computes the current population standard deviation of s   Source Edit
proc standardDeviationS(s: RunningStat): float {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
computes the current sample standard deviation of s   Source Edit
proc skewness(s: RunningStat): float {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

proc `+`(a, b: RunningStat): RunningStat {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

combine two RunningStats.

Useful if performing parallel analysis of data series and need to re-combine parallel result sets

  Source Edit
proc `+=`(a: var RunningStat; b: RunningStat) {...}{.inline, raises: [], tags: [].}
add a second RunningStats b to a   Source Edit
proc `$`(a: RunningStat): string {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
produces a string representation of the RunningStat. The exact format is currently unspecified and subject to change. Currently it contains:
  • the number of probes
  • min, max values
  • sum, mean and standard deviation.
