NAME¶

gbtest - Compute statistical tests on data

SYNOPSIS¶

gbtest [options] <tests list>

DESCRIPTION¶

Compute statistical tests on data. Each test is specified by a unique name and optional parameters follows, separated by commas. Depending on the test, one, two or three columns of data are expected. '1 sample' tests expect a single columns. Test on 'pairs' expect two columns of equal length. Test on '2 samples' expect two columns of data, possibly of different length. Test on 2+ and 3+ samples expect a varying number of columns. If more columns are provided, the test is repeated for any column in the case of 1 sample test, and any couple of columns in the case of 2 sample tests. In the last case, the output is expressed in matrix format, with estimated statistics on the lower triangle and p-scores (if requested) on the upper. The removal of 'nan' entries is automatic, and is performed consistently with the nature of the test.

Tests typically assume 1, 2 or 3+ samples. Available tests are:

D+,D-,D,V 1 samp

Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests on cumulated data

W2,A2,U2

1 samp Cramer-von Mises tests on cumulated data

CHI2-1

1 samp Chi-Sqrd, 1 samp. 2nd column: th. prob.

WILCO

1 samp Wilcoxon signed-rank test (mode=0)

TS

1 samp Student's T (mean=0)

TR-TP

1 samp Test of randomness: turning points

TR-DS

1 samp Test of randomness: difference sign

TR-RT

1 samp Test of randomness: rank test

R

pairs Pearson's correlation coefficient

RHO

pairs Spearman's Rho rank correlation

TAU

pairs Kendall's Tau correlation

CHI2-2

pairs Chi-Sqrd, 2 samples

TP

pairs Student's T with paired samples

WILCO2

pairs Wilcoxon test on paired samples

KS

2 samp Kolmogorov-Smirnov test

T

2 samp Student's T with same variances

TH

2 samp Student's T with different variances

F

2 samp F-Test for different variances

WMW

2 samp Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U

FP

2 samp Fligner-Policello standardized U^

LEV-MEAN

2+ samp Levene equality of variances using means

LEV-MED

2+ samp Levene equality of variances using medians

KW

3+ samp Kruscal-Wallis test on 3+ samples

CHI2-N

3+ samp Multi-columns contingency table analysis

OPTIONS¶

-p

compute associated significance

-s

input data are already sorted in ascending order

-F

specify the input fields separators (default " \t")

-o

set the output format (default '%12.6e')

-v

verbosity: 0 none, 1 headings, 2+ description (default 0)

-h

this help

EXAMPLES¶

gbtest FP < file

compute the Fligner-Policello test on the columns of 'file', considering all possible pairings.

gbtest KW -p < file

compute the Kruscal-Wallis test and its p-score on the first three columns of data in 'file'
