Statsample

Build Status Code Climate Gem Version

Homepage :: https://github.com/sciruby/statsample

Installation

You should have a recent version of GSL and R (with the irr and Rserve libraries) installed. In Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev r-base r-base-dev
$ sudo Rscript -e "install.packages(c('Rserve', 'irr'))"

With these libraries in place, just install from rubygems:

$ [sudo] gem install statsample

On *nix, you should install statsample-optimization to retrieve gems gsl, statistics2 and a C extension to speed some methods.

$ [sudo] gem install statsample-optimization

If you need to work on Structural Equation Modeling, you could see +statsample-sem+. You need R with +sem+ or +OpenMx+ [http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/] libraries installed

$ [sudo] gem install statsample-sem

Testing

See CONTRIBUTING for information on testing and contributing to statsample.

Documentation

You can see the latest documentation in rubydoc.info.

Examples

See the /examples directory for some use cases. The notebooks listed above have mostly the same examples, and they look better so you might want to see that first.

Description

A suite for basic and advanced statistics on Ruby. Tested on CRuby 2.0.0, 2.1.1, 2.2 and 2.3.0 See .travis.yml for more information.

Include:

  • Descriptive statistics: frequencies, median, mean, standard error, skew, kurtosis (and many others).
  • Correlations: Pearson's r, Spearman's rank correlation (rho), point biserial, tau a, tau b and gamma. Tetrachoric and Polychoric correlation provides by +statsample-bivariate-extension+ gem.
  • Intra-class correlation
  • Anova: generic and vector-based One-way ANOVA and Two-way ANOVA, with contrasts for One-way ANOVA.
  • Tests: F, T, Levene, U-Mannwhitney.
  • Regression: Simple, Multiple (OLS)
  • Factorial Analysis: Extraction (PCA and Principal Axis), Rotation (Varimax, Equimax, Quartimax) and Parallel Analysis and Velicer's MAP test, for estimation of number of factors.
  • Reliability analysis for simple scale and a DSL to easily analyze multiple scales using factor analysis and correlations, if you want it.
  • Basic time series support
  • Dominance Analysis, with multivariate dependent and bootstrap (Azen & Budescu)
  • Sample calculation related formulas
  • Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), using R libraries +sem+ and +OpenMx+
  • Creates reports on text, html and rtf, using ReportBuilder gem
  • Graphics: Histogram, Boxplot and Scatterplot

Principles

  • Software Design:
    • One module/class for each type of analysis
    • Options can be set as hash on initialize() or as setters methods
    • Clean API for interactive sessions
    • summary() returns all necessary informacion for interactive sessions
    • All statistical data available though methods on objects
    • All (important) methods should be tested. Better with random data.
  • Statistical Design
    • Results are tested against text results, SPSS and R outputs.
    • Go beyond Null Hiphotesis Testing, using confidence intervals and effect sizes when possible
    • (When possible) All references for methods are documented, providing sensible information on documentation

Features

  • Classes for manipulation and storage of data:
    • Uses daru for storing data and basic statistics.
    • Statsample::Multiset: multiple datasets with same fields and type of vectors
  • Anova module provides generic Statsample::Anova::OneWay and vector based Statsample::Anova::OneWayWithVectors. Also you can create contrast using Statsample::Anova::Contrast
  • Module Statsample::Bivariate provides covariance and pearson, spearman, point biserial, tau a, tau b, gamma, tetrachoric (see Bivariate::Tetrachoric) and polychoric (see Bivariate::Polychoric) correlations. Include methods to create correlation and covariance matrices
  • Multiple types of regression.
    • Simple Regression : Statsample::Regression::Simple
    • Multiple Regression: Statsample::Regression::Multiple
  • Factorial Analysis algorithms on Statsample::Factor module.
    • Classes for Extraction of factors:
      • Statsample::Factor::PCA
      • Statsample::Factor::PrincipalAxis
    • Classes for Rotation of factors:
      • Statsample::Factor::Varimax
      • Statsample::Factor::Equimax
      • Statsample::Factor::Quartimax
    • Classes for calculation of factors to retain
      • Statsample::Factor::ParallelAnalysis performs Horn's 'parallel analysis' to a principal components analysis to adjust for sample bias in the retention of components.
      • Statsample::Factor::MAP performs Velicer's Minimum Average Partial (MAP) test, which retain components as long as the variance in the correlation matrix represents systematic variance.
  • Dominance Analysis. Based on Budescu and Azen papers, dominance analysis is a method to analyze the relative importance of one predictor relative to another on multiple regression
    • Statsample::DominanceAnalysis class can report dominance analysis for a sample, using uni or multivariate dependent variables
    • Statsample::DominanceAnalysis::Bootstrap can execute bootstrap analysis to determine dominance stability, as recomended by Azen & Budescu (2003) link[http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/met/8/2/129/].
  • Module Statsample::Codification, to help to codify open questions
  • Converters to export data:
    • Statsample::Mx : Write Mx Files
    • Statsample::GGobi : Write Ggobi files
  • Module Statsample::Crosstab provides function to create crosstab for categorical data
  • Module Statsample::Reliability provides functions to analyze scales with psychometric methods.
    • Class Statsample::Reliability::ScaleAnalysis provides statistics like mean, standard deviation for a scale, Cronbach's alpha and standarized Cronbach's alpha, and for each item: mean, correlation with total scale, mean if deleted, Cronbach's alpha is deleted.
    • Class Statsample::Reliability::MultiScaleAnalysis provides a DSL to easily analyze reliability of multiple scales and retrieve correlation matrix and factor analysis of them.
    • Class Statsample::Reliability::ICC provides intra-class correlation, using Shrout & Fleiss(1979) and McGraw & Wong (1996) formulations.
  • Module Statsample::SRS (Simple Random Sampling) provides a lot of functions to estimate standard error for several type of samples
