Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Tests.CorrelateRanks Documentation

This class implements a Spearm Correlation Coefficient. For more information, see the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spearman%27s_rank_correlation_coefficient There are two ways to use this class. First, if we want to correlate two groups, the class will automatically detect this case and we can call actions like GetCorrelation, which will return that case. If we want to compare more than two groups, these actions will throw errors and we will be requested to either iterate through the results or two call the corresponding GetCorrelation(leftIndex, rightIndex) actions.

Example Code

use Libraries.Compute.Statistics.DataFrame
    use Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Tests.CorrelateGroups

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

    CorrelateRanks correlate
    correlate:Add(0)
    correlate:Add(1)
    frame:Calculate(correlate)
    
    output correlate:GetCorrelation()

Actions Documentation

AddColumn(integer column)

This action adds a value to the end of the input.

Parameters

Calculate(Libraries.Compute.Statistics.DataFrame frame)

This calculates a hash value for the results table.

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.

EmptyColumns()

This action empty's the list, clearing out all of the items contained within it.

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.

GetColumn(integer index)

This action gets the item at a given location in an array.

Parameters

Return

integer: The item at the given location.

GetColumnIterator()

This action gets an iterator for the object and returns that iterator.

Return

Libraries.Containers.Iterator: Returns the iterator for an object.

GetColumnSize()

This action gets the size of the array.

Return

integer:

GetCorrelateGroupsResult(integer leftIndex, integer rightIndex)

This returns a correlation between two particular columns. If no such correlation exists, this action returns undefined.

Example Code

use Libraries.Compute.Statistics.DataFrame
        use Libraries.Compute.Statistics.Tests.CorrelateGroups
        use Libraries.Containers.Iterator
    
        DataFrame frame
        frame:Load("Data/Data.csv")
    
        CorrelateRanks correlate

GetCorrelation()

Obtains the raw correlation, typically named "r" in statistics. This calculation only returns a result in the case where the number of correlations to calculate is 2 (two columns). If the number of groups is 3 or more, GetCorrelation(integer leftIndex, integer rightIndex) should be used instead. This is a convenience action for the two-group case.

        correlate:Add(0)
        correlate:Add(1)

Return

number: the correlation between two groups.
