Statistics

The Statistics module contains basic statistics functionality.

Statistics.stdFunction

std(itr; corrected::Bool=true, mean=nothing[, dims])

Compute the sample standard deviation of collection itr.

The algorithm returns an estimator of the generative distribution's standard deviation under the assumption that each entry of itr is an IID drawn from that generative distribution. For arrays, this computation is equivalent to calculating sqrt(sum((itr .- mean(itr)).^2) / (length(itr) - 1)). If corrected is true, then the sum is scaled with n-1, whereas the sum is scaled with n if corrected is false with n the number of elements in itr.

A pre-computed mean may be provided.

If itr is an AbstractArray, dims can be provided to compute the standard deviation over dimensions, and means may contain means for each dimension of itr.

Statistics.stdmFunction

stdm(itr, m; corrected::Bool=true)

Compute the sample standard deviation of collection itr, with known mean(s) m.

The algorithm returns an estimator of the generative distribution's standard deviation under the assumption that each entry of itr is an IID drawn from that generative distribution. For arrays, this computation is equivalent to calculating sqrt(sum((itr .- mean(itr)).^2) / (length(itr) - 1)). If corrected is true, then the sum is scaled with n-1, whereas the sum is scaled with n if corrected is false with n the number of elements in itr.

A pre-computed mean may be provided.

If itr is an AbstractArray, dims can be provided to compute the standard deviation over dimensions, and m may contain means for each dimension of itr.

Statistics.varFunction

var(itr; dims, corrected::Bool=true, mean=nothing)

Compute the sample variance of collection itr.

The algorithm returns an estimator of the generative distribution's variance under the assumption that each entry of itr is an IID drawn from that generative distribution. For arrays, this computation is equivalent to calculating sum((itr .- mean(itr)).^2) / (length(itr) - 1)).

Statistics.covFunction

cov(x::AbstractVector; corrected::Bool=true)

Compute the variance of the vector x. If corrected is true (the default) then the sum is scaled with n-1, whereas the sum is scaled with n if corrected is false where n = length(x).

source

cov(X::AbstractMatrix; dims::Int=1, corrected::Bool=true)

If corrected is true (the default), computes $\frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar x) (y_i-\bar y)^*$ where $*$ denotes the complex conjugate and n = length(x) = length(y). If corrected is false, computes $\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar x) (y_i-\bar y)^*$.

source

cov(X::AbstractVecOrMat, Y::AbstractVecOrMat; dims::Int=1, corrected::Bool=true)

Statistics.median!Function

median!(v)

Like median, but may overwrite the input vector.

Statistics.medianFunction

median(itr)

julia> median([1, 2, 3, 4])
2.5

julia> median([1, 2, missing, 4])

Statistics.middleFunction

middle(x)

Compute the middle of a scalar value, which is equivalent to x itself, but of the type of middle(x, x) for consistency.

source

middle(x, y)

Compute the middle of two reals x and y, which is equivalent in both value and type to computing their mean ((x + y) / 2).

source

middle(range)

Compute the middle of a range, which consists of computing the mean of its extrema. Since a range is sorted, the mean is performed with the first and last element.

julia> middle(1:10)
5.5

Statistics.quantile!Function

quantile!([q::AbstractArray, ] v::AbstractVector, p; sorted=false)

Compute the quantile(s) of a vector v at a specified probability or vector or tuple of probabilities p on the interval [0,1]. If p is a vector, an optional output array q may also be specified. (If not provided, a new output array is created.) The keyword argument sorted indicates whether v can be assumed to be sorted; if false (the default), then the elements of v will be partially sorted in-place.

Quantiles are computed via linear interpolation between the points ((k-1)/(n-1), v[k]), for k = 1:n where n = length(v). This corresponds to Definition 7 of Hyndman and Fan (1996), and is the same as the R default.

Statistics.quantileFunction

quantile(itr, p; sorted=false)

Compute the quantile(s) of a collection itr at a specified probability or vector or tuple of probabilities p on the interval [0,1]. The keyword argument sorted indicates whether itr can be assumed to be sorted.

Quantiles are computed via linear interpolation between the points ((k-1)/(n-1), v[k]), for k = 1:n where n = length(itr). This corresponds to Definition 7 of Hyndman and Fan (1996), and is the same as the R default.
