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

RunningStat calculates for a single data set

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

RunningRegress calculates for two sets of data

  • n (data count)
  • slope
  • intercept
  • correlation

Procs are provided to calculate statistics on openArrays.

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

Example:

import std/stats
from std/math import almostEqual

template `~=`(a, b: float): bool = almostEqual(a, b)

var statistics: RunningStat  # must be var
statistics.push(@[1.0, 2.0, 1.0, 4.0, 1.0, 4.0, 1.0, 2.0])
doAssert statistics.n == 8
doAssert statistics.mean() ~= 2.0
doAssert statistics.variance() ~= 1.5
doAssert statistics.varianceS() ~= 1.714285714285715
doAssert statistics.skewness() ~= 0.8164965809277261
doAssert statistics.skewnessS() ~= 1.018350154434631
doAssert statistics.kurtosis() ~= -1.0
doAssert statistics.kurtosisS() ~= -0.7000000000000008

Types

RunningRegress = object
  n*: int                    ## amount of pushed data
  x_stats*: RunningStat      ## stats for the first set of data
  y_stats*: RunningStat      ## stats for the second set of data
  ## accumulated data for combined xy
  
An accumulator for regression calculations. Source   Edit  
RunningStat = object
  n*: int                    ## amount of pushed data
  min*, max*, sum*: float    ## self-explaining
  ## statistical moments, mom1 is mean
  
An accumulator for statistical data. Source   Edit  

Procs

proc `$`(a: RunningStat): string {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}
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.
Source   Edit  
proc `+`(a, b: RunningRegress): RunningRegress {....raises: [], tags: [],
    forbids: [].}

Combines two RunningRegress objects.

Useful when performing parallel analysis of data series and needing to re-combine parallel result sets

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

Combines two RunningStats.

Useful when performing parallel analysis of data series and needing to re-combine parallel result sets.
