agate-stats adds statistical methods to agate.

Important links:

Install#

To install:

pip install agate-stats

For details on development or supported platforms see the agate documentation.

Usage#

agate-stats uses a monkey patching pattern to add additional statistical methods to all agate.Table instances.

import agate
import agatestats

Importing agate-stats adds methods to agate.Table. For example, to filter a table to only those rows whose cost value is an outliers by more than 3 standard deviations you would use TableStats.stdev_outliers():

outliers = table.stdev_outliers('price')

In addition to Table methods agatestats also includes a variety of additional aggregations and computations. See the API section of the docs for a complete list of all the added features.

API#

agatestats.table.stdev_outliers(self, column_name, deviations=3, reject=False)#

A wrapper around Table.where that filters the dataset to rows where the value of the column are more than some number of standard deviations from the mean.

This method makes no attempt to validate that the distribution of your data is normal.

There are well-known cases in which this algorithm will fail to identify outliers. For a more robust measure see TableStats.mad_outliers().

Parameters:

  • column_name – The name of the column to compute outliers on.

  • deviations – The number of deviations from the mean a data point must be to qualify as an outlier.

  • reject – If True then the new Table will contain everything except the outliers.

Returns:

A new Table.

agatestats.table.mad_outliers(self, column_name, deviations=3, reject=False)#

A wrapper around Table.where that filters the dataset to rows where the value of the column are more than some number of median absolute deviations from the median.

This method makes no attempt to validate that the distribution of your data is normal.

Parameters:

  • column_name – The name of the column to compute outliers on.

  • deviations – The number of deviations from the median a data point must be to qualify as an outlier.

  • reject – If True then the new Table will contain everything except the outliers.

Returns:

A new Table.

agatestats.tableset.stdev_outliers(self, column_name, deviations=3, reject=False)#

A wrapper around Table.where that filters the dataset to rows where the value of the column are more than some number of standard deviations from the mean.

This method makes no attempt to validate that the distribution of your data is normal.

There are well-known cases in which this algorithm will fail to identify outliers. For a more robust measure see TableStats.mad_outliers().

Parameters:

  • column_name – The name of the column to compute outliers on.

  • deviations – The number of deviations from the mean a data point must be to qualify as an outlier.

  • reject – If True then the new Table will contain everything except the outliers.

Returns:

A new Table.

agatestats.tableset.mad_outliers(self, column_name, deviations=3, reject=False)#

A wrapper around Table.where that filters the dataset to rows where the value of the column are more than some number of median absolute deviations from the median.

This method makes no attempt to validate that the distribution of your data is normal.

Parameters:

  • column_name – The name of the column to compute outliers on.

  • deviations – The number of deviations from the median a data point must be to qualify as an outlier.

  • reject – If True then the new Table will contain everything except the outliers.

Returns:

A new Table.

class agatestats.aggregations.PearsonCorrelation(x_column_name, y_column_name)#

Calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient for x_column_name and y_column_name.

Returns a number between -1 and 1 with 0 implying no correlation. A correlation close to 1 implies a high positive correlation i.e. as x increases so does y. A correlation close to -1 implies a high negative correlation i.e. as x increases, y decreases.

Note: this implementation is borrowed from the MIT licensed latimes-calculate. Thanks, LAT!

Parameters:

  • x_column_name – The name of a column.

  • y_column_name – The name of a column.

get_aggregate_data_type(table)#

Get the data type that should be used when using this aggregation with a TableSet to produce a new column.

Should raise UnsupportedAggregationError if this column does not support aggregation into a TableSet. (For example, if it does not return a single value.)

run(table)#
Returns:

decimal.Decimal.

class agatestats.computations.ZScores(column_name)#

Computes the z-scores (standard scores) of a given column.

get_computed_data_type(table)#

Returns an instantiated DataType which will be appended to the table.

validate(table)#

Perform any checks necessary to verify this computation can run on the provided table without errors. This is called by Table.compute() before run().

run(table)#

When invoked with a table, returns a sequence of new column values.
