Function Details

average(data)

Mean (average value, first moment)

Parameters:

data (list or Numeric.array) - a sequence of numbers

Returns: number

the mean of the number sequence

correlation(data1, data2)

Calculates the correlation coefficient between two data sequences

Parameters:

data1 (Numeric.array or list) - first data sequence
data2 (Numeric.array or list) - second data sequence of length identical to data1

Returns: number

the correlation coefficient between data1 and data2

Raises:

ValueError - if data1 and data2 have different lengths

kurtosis(data)

Kurtosis (fourth normalized moment)

Parameters:

data (list or Numeric.array) - a sequence of numbers

Returns: number

the kurtosis of the number sequence

mean(data)

Mean (average value, first moment)

Parameters:

data (list or Numeric.array) - a sequence of numbers

Returns: number

the mean of the number sequence

median(data)

Median

Parameters:

data (list or Numeric.array) - a sequence of numbers

Returns: number

the median of the number sequence

moment(data, order, about=None, theoretical=1)

Calculate the moments of the distribution corresponding to a set of data

Parameters:

data (Numeric.array of numbers) - a sequence of data points
order (int) - the order of the moment to be calculated
about (number) - the center of the distribution. If None, use the mean value as the center.
theoretical - for internal use

Returns: number

the moment of the given order about the specified center

normalizedMoment(data, order)

Calculate the normalized moments of the distribution corresponding to a set of data. Normalization means division by the n-th power of the standard deviation.

Parameters:

data (Numeric.array of numbers) - a sequence of data points
order (int) - the order of the moment to be calculated

Returns: number

the normalized moment of the given order

skewness(data)

Skewness (third normalized moment)

Parameters:

data (list or Numeric.array) - a sequence of numbers

Returns: number

the skewness of the number sequence

standardDeviation(data)

Standard deviation

Parameters:

data (list or Numeric.array) - a sequence of numbers

Returns: number

the standard deviation of the number sequence

variance(data)

Variance (second moment)

Parameters:

data (list or Numeric.array) - a sequence of numbers

Returns: number

the variance of the number sequence

weightedMean(data, sigma)

Weighted mean of a sequence of numbers with given standard deviations

Parameters:

data (list or Numeric.array) - a sequence of measurements
sigma (list or Numeric.array) - a sequence of corresponding standard deviations

Returns: tuple of two elements

the weighted mean and corresponding standard deviation
