Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Tests.CompareGroupToMean Documentation

This class implements a one-sample t-test. For more information, see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t-test

Example Code

use Libraries.Compute.Statistics.DataFrame
    use Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Tests.CompareColumnToMean

    DataFrame frame
    frame:Load("Data/Data.csv")

    //independent samples t-test
    CompareColumnToMean compare
    compare:SetColumn1("DT")
        
    //calculate the t-test and output a summary
    frame:Calculate(compare)
    output compare:GetFormalSummary()

Calculate(Libraries.Compute.Statistics.DataFrame frame)

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.

Example Code

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

Parameters

Return

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

Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)

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

Example Code

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

Parameters

Return

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

GetCriticalValue()

This returns a critical value, or the place on the distribution where are caluclating our probability values from. The critical value, for a test like a t-test, would be equivalent to a t-value.

Return

number:

GetDegreesOfFreedom()

Obtains the degrees of freedom calculated by the test.

Return

number:

GetFormalSummary()

This action returns a formal academic summary of the result.

Return

text:

GetGroup()

Returns the name of the column specified.

Return

integer:

GetGroupMean()

Gets the column mean value.

Return

number:

GetGroupVariance()

Gets the column variance value.

Return

number:

GetHashCode()

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

Return

integer: The integer hash code of the object.

GetMean()

Gets the mean value.

Return

number:

GetProbabilityValue()

In Statistics, this is often termed a p-value.

Return

number:

GetSummary()

This action obtains an informal summary of the result.

Return

text:

GetUnstandardizedEffectSize()

This action returns the unstandardized effect size. By default, this value is Cohen's D: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_size

Return

number:

SetGroup(integer column)

Sets the name of the column to be analyzed.

Parameters

SetMean(number mean)

Sets the mean value.
