Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Calculations.Kurtosis Documentation

This class calculates the Kurtosis. The equations used for it were pulled from Apache Commons: https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/javadocs/api-3.6/org/apache/commons/math3/stat/descriptive/moment/Kurtosis.html

Example Code

use Libraries.Compute.Statistics.DataFrame
use Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Calculations.Skew

//Load a comma separated file
DataFrame frame
frame:Load("Data.csv") 
Kurtosis kurtosis
DataFrameColumn column = frame:GetColumn(0)
output column:Calculate(kurtosis)

Inherits from: Libraries.Language.Object, Libraries.Compute.Statistics.DataFrameColumnCalculation

Actions Documentation

Add(Libraries.Language.Object value)

If the calculation otherwise has no primitive type, it sends it to the column as a raw object. Columns might use this if they have custom types.

Parameters

Add(Libraries.Language.Types.Integer value)

Parameters

Add(Libraries.Language.Types.Boolean value)

If the calculation returns true from IsIterable, this is a Boolean object that was passed to the calculation. This may be undefined, which indicates that the column did not contain a value at this position in the column.

Parameters

Add(Libraries.Language.Types.Number value)

Parameters

Add(Libraries.Language.Types.Text value)

If the calculation returns true from IsIterable, this is a Text object that was passed to the calculation. This may be undefined, which indicates that the column did not contain a value at this position in the column.

Parameters

Calculate(Libraries.Compute.Statistics.DataFrameColumn column)

This action can calculate the equation from a particular column. By default this action will only be called if the Calculation is not Iterable. Because the Column class is not guaranteed to have any particular data type, individual Calculation classes may need to cast to a particular column or data type to perform their operations. If a calculation is Iterable, the column will pass all of its data, one by one, to the calculation instead.

Parameters

Compare(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Parameters

Return

integer: The Compare result, Smaller, Equal, or Larger.

Example

Object o
Object t
integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

Empty()

This Calculation can be re-used if the Empty action is called before passing it to another column. Otherwise, it retains its data.

End(Libraries.Compute.Statistics.DataFrameColumn column)

Parameters

Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Parameters

Return

boolean: True if the hash codes are equal and false if they are not equal.

Example

use Libraries.Language.Object
use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
Object o
Text t
boolean result = o:Equals(t)

GetHashCode()

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Return

integer: The integer hash code of the object.

Example

Object o
integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

GetKurtosis()

This action returns the Kurtosis that was calculated.

Return

number:

IsIterable()

If this action returns true, each element of the column will be sent to this calculation one by one. If this is false, the column should ask this class to conduct the calculation all at once using the Calculate action.

Return

boolean:

IsNumerical()

If this action returns true, the calculation is numerical, the column must be numerical If this is false, the calculation should be non-numerical, thus the column will not be required to be a numerical column action.

Return

boolean:
