Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Reporting.StatisticalTestResult Documentation

This class represents data that comes back from a statistical test. Each specific test may have additional data.

Inherits from: Libraries.Language.Object

Actions Documentation

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)

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)

GetCriticalValue()

This indicates the critical value for any statistical test that was run

Return

number: the critical value

GetDegreesOfFreedom()

Obtains the degrees of freedom value (df in statistics) calculated by the test.

Return

number: the degrees of freedom

GetEffectSize()

Returns the effect size used for this test.

Return

number: the effect size used for this test.

GetEffectSizeName()

Returns the name of the effect size used for this test.

Return

text: the name of the effect size used for this test.

GetExperimentalDesign()

Return

Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Tests.ExperimentalDesign

GetFormalSummary()

Sets the name of the effect size used for this test.

Return

text:

GetFormalTestName()

Returns the name of the test in formal mathematical language.

Return

text: the name of the test in mathematical language.

GetFormat()

Returns true if this result is significant against the significance level

Return

Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Reporting.StatisticsFormatting:

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()

GetProbabilityValue()

Obtains the probability value (p in statistics) calculated by the test.

Return

number: the probability

GetSignificanceLevel()

Obtains the significance level.

Return

number: the significance level.

GetSummary()

Obtains the significance level.

Return

text: the significance level.

GetTestStatistic()

This indicates the test statistic for any statistical test that was run

Return

number: the test statistic

IsSignificant()

Returns true if this result is significant against the significance level

Return

boolean:
