The math::statistics package contains functions and procedures for basic statistical data analysis, such as:

It is meant to help in developing data analysis applications or doing ad hoc data analysis, it is not in itself a full application, nor is it intended to rival with full (non-)commercial statistical packages.

The purpose of this document is to describe the implemented procedures and provide some examples of their usage. As there is ample literature on the algorithms involved, we refer to relevant text books for more explanations. The package contains a fairly large number of public procedures. They can be distinguished in three sets: general procedures, procedures that deal with specific statistical distributions, list procedures to select or transform data and simple plotting procedures (these require Tk). Note: The data that need to be analyzed are always contained in a simple list. Missing values are represented as empty list elements.

The general statistical procedures are:

::math::statistics::mean data
Determine the mean value of the given list of data.
- List of data

::math::statistics::min data
Determine the minimum value of the given list of data.
- List of data

::math::statistics::max data
Determine the maximum value of the given list of data.
- List of data

::math::statistics::number data
Determine the number of non-missing data in the given list
- List of data

::math::statistics::stdev data
Determine the sample standard deviation of the data in the given list
- List of data

::math::statistics::var data
Determine the sample variance of the data in the given list
- List of data

::math::statistics::pstdev data
Determine the population standard deviation of the data in the given list
- List of data

::math::statistics::pvar data
Determine the population variance of the data in the given list
- List of data

::math::statistics::median data
Determine the median of the data in the given list (Note that this requires sorting the data, which may be a costly operation)
- List of data

::math::statistics::basic-stats data
Determine a list of all the descriptive parameters: mean, minimum, maximum, number of data, sample standard deviation, sample variance, population standard deviation and population variance.

(This routine is called whenever either or all of the basic statistical parameters are required. Hence all calculations are done and the relevant values are returned.)

- List of data

::math::statistics::histogram limits values
Determine histogram information for the given list of data. Returns a list consisting of the number of values that fall into each interval. (The first interval consists of all values lower than the first limit, the last interval consists of all values greater than the last limit. There is one more interval than there are limits.)
- List of upper limits (in ascending order) for the intervals of the histogram.
- List of data

::math::statistics::corr data1 data2
Determine the correlation coefficient between two sets of data.
- First list of data
- Second list of data

::math::statistics::interval-mean-stdev data confidence
Return the interval containing the mean value and one containing the standard deviation with a certain level of confidence (assuming a normal distribution)
- List of raw data values (small sample)

::math::statistics::t-test-mean data est_mean est_stdev confidence
Test whether the mean value of a sample is in accordance with the estimated normal distribution with a certain level of confidence. Returns 1 if the test succeeds or 0 if the mean is unlikely to fit the given distribution.
- List of raw data values (small sample)
- Estimated mean of the distribution
- Estimated stdev of the distribution

- Confidence level (one of 0.80, 0.90, 0.95 or 0.99)

::math::statistics::lillieforsFit data

Besides the linear regression with a single independent variable, the statistics package provides two procedures for doing ordinary least squares (OLS) and weighted least squares (WLS) linear regression with several variables. They were written by Eric Kemp-Benedict.

In addition to these two, it provides a procedure (tstat) for calculating the value of the t-statistic for the specified number of degrees of freedom that is required to demonstrate a given level of significance.

Note: These procedures depend on the math::linearalgebra package.

Description of the procedures

::math::statistics::tstat dof ?alpha?
Returns the value of the t-distribution t* satisfying
    P(t*)  =  1 - alpha/2
    P(-t*) =  alpha/2
    
for the number of degrees of freedom dof.

Given a sample of normally-distributed data x, with an estimate xbar for the mean and sbar for the standard deviation, the alpha confidence interval for the estimate of the mean can be calculated as

      ( xbar - t* sbar , xbar + t* sbar)
    
The return values from this procedure can be compared to an estimated t-statistic to determine whether the estimated value of a parameter is significantly different from zero at the given confidence level.
Number of degrees of freedom
Confidence level of the t-distribution. Defaults to 0.05.

::math::statistics::mv-wls wt1 weights_and_values
Carries out a weighted least squares linear regression for the data points provided, with weights assigned to each point.

The linear model is of the form

    y = b0 + b1 * x1 + b2 * x2 ... + bN * xN + error
    
and each point satisfies
    yi = b0 + b1 * xi1 + b2 * xi2 + ... + bN * xiN + Residual_i
    

The procedure returns a list with the following elements:

  • The r-squared statistic
  • The adjusted r-squared statistic
  • A list containing the estimated coefficients b1, ... bN, b0 (The constant b0 comes last in the list.)
  • A list containing the standard errors of the coefficients
  • A list containing the 95% confidence bounds of the coefficients, with each set of bounds returned as a list with two values
Arguments:
A list consisting of: the weight for the first observation, the data for the first observation (as a sublist), the weight for the second observation (as a sublist) and so on. The sublists of data are organised as lists of the value of the dependent variable y and the independent variables x1, x2 to xN.

::math::statistics::mv-ols values
Carries out an ordinary least squares linear regression for the data points provided.

This procedure simply calls ::mvlinreg::wls with the weights set to 1.0, and returns the same information.

Example of the use:

# Store the value of the unicode value for the "+/-" character
set pm "\u00B1"
# Provide some data
set data {{  -.67  14.18  60.03 -7.5  }
          { 36.97  15.52  34.24 14.61 }
          {-29.57  21.85  83.36 -7.   }
          {-16.9   11.79  51.67 -6.56 }
          { 14.09  16.24  36.97 -12.84}
          { 31.52  20.93  45.99 -25.4 }
          { 24.05  20.69  50.27  17.27}
          { 22.23  16.91  45.07  -4.3 }
          { 40.79  20.49  38.92  -.73 }
          {-10.35  17.24  58.77  18.78}}
# Call the ols routine

# Pretty-print the results
puts "R-squared: [lindex $results 0]"
puts "Adj R-squared: [lindex $results 1]"
puts "Coefficients $pm s.e. -- \[95% confidence interval\]:"
