Parameters
----------
a : array_like
Numeric, n-dimensional array of which to find mode(s).
axis : int or None, optional
Axis along which to operate. Default is 0. If None, compute over
the whole array `a`.
nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):
* 'propagate': treats nan as it would treat any other value
* 'raise': throws an error
* 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
keepdims : bool, optional
If set to ``False``, the `axis` over which the statistic is taken
is consumed (eliminated from the output array). If set to ``True``,
the `axis` is retained with size one, and the result will broadcast

Returns
-------
mode : ndarray
Array of modal values.
count : ndarray
Array of counts for each mode.
Notes
-----
The mode is calculated using `numpy.unique`.
In NumPy versions 1.21 and after, all NaNs - even those with different
binary representations - are treated as equivalent and counted as separate
instances of the same value.
By convention, the mode of an empty array is NaN, and the associated count
is zero.

# `moment` fits into the `_axis_nan_policy` pattern, but it is a bit unusual
# because the number of outputs is variable. Specifically,
# `result_to_tuple=lambda x: (x,)` may be surprising for a function that
# can produce more than one output, but it is intended here.
# When `moment is called to produce the output:
# - `result_to_tuple` packs the returned array into a single-element tuple,
# - `_moment_result_object` extracts and returns that single element.
# However, when the input array is empty, `moment` is never called. Instead,
# - `_check_empty_inputs` is used to produce an empty array with the
# appropriate dimensions.
# - A list comprehension creates the appropriate number of copies of this
# array, depending on `n_outputs`.
# - This list - which may have multiple elements - is passed into
# `_moment_result_object`.
# - If there is a single output, `_moment_result_object` extracts and returns
# the single output from the list.
# - If there are multiple outputs, and therefore multiple elements in the list,
# `_moment_result_object` converts the list of arrays to a single array and
# returns it.
# Currently this leads to a slight inconsistency: when the input array is

def moment(a, order=1, axis=0, nan_policy='propagate', *, center=None):
r"""Calculate the nth moment about the mean for a sample.
A moment is a specific quantitative measure of the shape of a set of
points. It is often used to calculate coefficients of skewness and kurtosis
due to its close relationship with them.
Parameters
----------
a : array_like
Input array.
order : int or array_like of ints, optional
Order of central moment that is returned. Default is 1.
axis : int or None, optional
Axis along which the central moment is computed. Default is 0.
If None, compute over the whole array `a`.
nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):
* 'propagate': returns nan
* 'raise': throws an error
* 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
center : float or None, optional
The point about which moments are taken. This can be the sample mean,
the origin, or any other be point. If `None` (default) compute the
center as the sample mean.
Returns
-------
n-th moment about the `center` : ndarray or float
The appropriate moment along the given axis or over all values if axis
is None. The denominator for the moment calculation is the number of
observations, no degrees of freedom correction is done.
See Also
--------
kurtosis, skew, describe
Notes
-----
The k-th moment of a data sample is:
.. math::
m_k = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^n (x_i - c)^k
Where `n` is the number of samples, and `c` is the center around which the
moment is calculated. This function uses exponentiation by squares [1]_ for
efficiency.
Note that, if `a` is an empty array (``a.size == 0``), array `moment` with
one element (`moment.size == 1`) is treated the same as scalar `moment`
(``np.isscalar(moment)``). This might produce arrays of unexpected shape.

Examples
--------
Suppose we wish to infer from measurements whether the weights of adult
human males in a medical study are not normally distributed [2]_.
The weights (lbs) are recorded in the array ``x`` below.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> x = np.array([148, 154, 158, 160, 161, 162, 166, 170, 182, 195, 236])
The skewness test from [1]_ begins by computing a statistic based on the
sample skewness.
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> res = stats.skewtest(x)
>>> res.statistic
2.7788579769903414
Because normal distributions have zero skewness, the magnitude of this
statistic tends to be low for samples drawn from a normal distribution.
The test is performed by comparing the observed value of the
statistic against the null distribution: the distribution of statistic
values derived under the null hypothesis that the weights were drawn from
a normal distribution.
For this test, the null distribution of the statistic for very large
samples is the standard normal distribution.
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> dist = stats.norm()
>>> st_val = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100)
>>> pdf = dist.pdf(st_val)
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
>>> def st_plot(ax): # we'll reuse this
... ax.plot(st_val, pdf)
... ax.set_title("Skew Test Null Distribution")
... ax.set_xlabel("statistic")
... ax.set_ylabel("probability density")
>>> st_plot(ax)
>>> plt.show()
The comparison is quantified by the p-value: the proportion of values in
the null distribution as extreme or more extreme than the observed
value of the statistic. In a two-sided test, elements of the null
distribution greater than the observed statistic and elements of the null
distribution less than the negative of the observed statistic are both
considered "more extreme".
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
>>> st_plot(ax)
>>> pvalue = dist.cdf(-res.statistic) + dist.sf(res.statistic)
>>> annotation = (f'p-value={pvalue:.3f}\n(shaded area)')
>>> props = dict(facecolor='black', width=1, headwidth=5, headlength=8)
>>> _ = ax.annotate(annotation, (3, 0.005), (3.25, 0.02), arrowprops=props)
>>> i = st_val >= res.statistic
>>> ax.fill_between(st_val[i], y1=0, y2=pdf[i], color='C0')
>>> i = st_val <= -res.statistic
>>> ax.fill_between(st_val[i], y1=0, y2=pdf[i], color='C0')
>>> ax.set_xlim(-5, 5)
>>> ax.set_ylim(0, 0.1)
>>> plt.show()
>>> res.pvalue
0.005455036974740185
If the p-value is "small" - that is, if there is a low probability of
sampling data from a normally distributed population that produces such an
extreme value of the statistic - this may be taken as evidence against
the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative: the weights were not
drawn from a normal distribution. Note that:
- The inverse is not true; that is, the test is not used to provide
evidence for the null hypothesis.
- The threshold for values that will be considered "small" is a choice that
should be made before the data is analyzed [3]_ with consideration of the
risks of both false positives (incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis)
and false negatives (failure to reject a false null hypothesis).
Note that the standard normal distribution provides an asymptotic
approximation of the null distribution; it is only accurate for samples
with many observations. For small samples like ours,
`scipy.stats.monte_carlo_test` may provide a more accurate, albeit
stochastic, approximation of the exact p-value.
>>> def statistic(x, axis):
... # get just the skewtest statistic; ignore the p-value

Examples
--------
Suppose we wish to infer from measurements whether the weights of adult
human males in a medical study are not normally distributed [2]_.
The weights (lbs) are recorded in the array ``x`` below.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> x = np.array([148, 154, 158, 160, 161, 162, 166, 170, 182, 195, 236])
The kurtosis test from [1]_ begins by computing a statistic based on the
sample (excess/Fisher) kurtosis.
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> res = stats.kurtosistest(x)
>>> res.statistic
2.3048235214240873
(The test warns that our sample has too few observations to perform the
test. We'll return to this at the end of the example.)
Because normal distributions have zero excess kurtosis (by definition),
the magnitude of this statistic tends to be low for samples drawn from a
normal distribution.
The test is performed by comparing the observed value of the
statistic against the null distribution: the distribution of statistic
values derived under the null hypothesis that the weights were drawn from
a normal distribution.
For this test, the null distribution of the statistic for very large
samples is the standard normal distribution.
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> dist = stats.norm()
>>> kt_val = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100)
>>> pdf = dist.pdf(kt_val)
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
>>> def kt_plot(ax): # we'll reuse this
... ax.plot(kt_val, pdf)
... ax.set_title("Kurtosis Test Null Distribution")
... ax.set_xlabel("statistic")
... ax.set_ylabel("probability density")
>>> kt_plot(ax)
>>> plt.show()
The comparison is quantified by the p-value: the proportion of values in
the null distribution as extreme or more extreme than the observed
value of the statistic. In a two-sided test in which the statistic is
positive, elements of the null distribution greater than the observed
statistic and elements of the null distribution less than the negative of
the observed statistic are both considered "more extreme".
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
>>> kt_plot(ax)
>>> pvalue = dist.cdf(-res.statistic) + dist.sf(res.statistic)
>>> annotation = (f'p-value={pvalue:.3f}\n(shaded area)')
>>> props = dict(facecolor='black', width=1, headwidth=5, headlength=8)
>>> _ = ax.annotate(annotation, (3, 0.005), (3.25, 0.02), arrowprops=props)
>>> i = kt_val >= res.statistic
>>> ax.fill_between(kt_val[i], y1=0, y2=pdf[i], color='C0')
>>> i = kt_val <= -res.statistic
>>> ax.fill_between(kt_val[i], y1=0, y2=pdf[i], color='C0')
>>> ax.set_xlim(-5, 5)
>>> ax.set_ylim(0, 0.1)
>>> plt.show()
>>> res.pvalue
0.0211764592113868
If the p-value is "small" - that is, if there is a low probability of
sampling data from a normally distributed population that produces such an
extreme value of the statistic - this may be taken as evidence against
the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative: the weights were not
drawn from a normal distribution. Note that:
- The inverse is not true; that is, the test is not used to provide
evidence for the null hypothesis.
- The threshold for values that will be considered "small" is a choice that
should be made before the data is analyzed [3]_ with consideration of the
risks of both false positives (incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis)
and false negatives (failure to reject a false null hypothesis).
Note that the standard normal distribution provides an asymptotic
approximation of the null distribution; it is only accurate for samples
with many observations. This is the reason we received a warning at the
beginning of the example; our sample is quite small. In this case,
`scipy.stats.monte_carlo_test` may provide a more accurate, albeit
stochastic, approximation of the exact p-value.

The normality test of [1]_ and [2]_ begins by computing a statistic based
on the sample skewness and kurtosis.
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> res = stats.normaltest(x)
>>> res.statistic
13.034263121192582
(The test warns that our sample has too few observations to perform the
test. We'll return to this at the end of the example.)
Because the normal distribution has zero skewness and zero
("excess" or "Fisher") kurtosis, the value of this statistic tends to be
low for samples drawn from a normal distribution.
The test is performed by comparing the observed value of the statistic
against the null distribution: the distribution of statistic values derived
under the null hypothesis that the weights were drawn from a normal
distribution.
For this normality test, the null distribution for very large samples is
the chi-squared distribution with two degrees of freedom.

... ax.set_title("Normality Test Null Distribution")
... ax.set_xlabel("statistic")
... ax.set_ylabel("probability density")
>>> plot(ax)

The comparison is quantified by the p-value: the proportion of values in
the null distribution greater than or equal to the observed value of the
statistic.

If the p-value is "small" - that is, if there is a low probability of
sampling data from a normally distributed population that produces such an
extreme value of the statistic - this may be taken as evidence against
the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative: the weights were not

ties, the exact definition depends on the optional keyword, `kind`.
Parameters
----------
a : array_like
A 1-D array to which `score` is compared.
score : array_like
Scores to compute percentiles for.
kind : {'rank', 'weak', 'strict', 'mean'}, optional
Specifies the interpretation of the resulting score.
The following options are available (default is 'rank'):
* 'rank': Average percentage ranking of score. In case of multiple
matches, average the percentage rankings of all matching scores.
* 'weak': This kind corresponds to the definition of a cumulative
distribution function. A percentileofscore of 80% means that 80%
of values are less than or equal to the provided score.
* 'strict': Similar to "weak", except that only values that are
strictly less than the given score are counted.
* 'mean': The average of the "weak" and "strict" scores, often used
in testing. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile_rank
nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
Specifies how to treat `nan` values in `a`.
The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):
* 'propagate': returns nan (for each value in `score`).
* 'raise': throws an error
* 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
Returns
-------
pcos : float
Percentile-position of score (0-100) relative to `a`.
See Also
--------
numpy.percentile
scipy.stats.scoreatpercentile, scipy.stats.rankdata
Examples
--------
Three-quarters of the given values lie below a given score:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> stats.percentileofscore([1, 2, 3, 4], 3)
75.0
With multiple matches, note how the scores of the two matches, 0.6
and 0.8 respectively, are averaged:
>>> stats.percentileofscore([1, 2, 3, 3, 4], 3)
70.0
Only 2/5 values are strictly less than 3:
>>> stats.percentileofscore([1, 2, 3, 3, 4], 3, kind='strict')
40.0
But 4/5 values are less than or equal to 3:
>>> stats.percentileofscore([1, 2, 3, 3, 4], 3, kind='weak')
80.0
The average between the weak and the strict scores is:
>>> stats.percentileofscore([1, 2, 3, 3, 4], 3, kind='mean')
60.0
Score arrays (of any dimensionality) are supported:
>>> stats.percentileofscore([1, 2, 3, 3, 4], [2, 3])
array([40., 70.])
The inputs can be infinite:
>>> stats.percentileofscore([-np.inf, 0, 1, np.inf], [1, 2, np.inf])
array([75., 75., 100.])
If `a` is empty, then the resulting percentiles are all `nan`:
>>> stats.percentileofscore([], [1, 2])
array([nan, nan])

Calculate the geometric standard deviation of an array.
The geometric standard deviation describes the spread of a set of numbers
where the geometric mean is preferred. It is a multiplicative factor, and
so a dimensionless quantity.
It is defined as the exponent of the standard deviation of ``log(a)``.
Mathematically the population geometric standard deviation can be
evaluated as::
gstd = exp(std(log(a)))
.. versionadded:: 1.3.0
Parameters
----------
a : array_like
An array like object containing the sample data.
axis : int, tuple or None, optional
Axis along which to operate. Default is 0. If None, compute over
the whole array `a`.
ddof : int, optional
Degree of freedom correction in the calculation of the
geometric standard deviation. Default is 1.
Returns
-------
gstd : ndarray or float
An array of the geometric standard deviation. If `axis` is None or `a`
is a 1d array a float is returned.
See Also
--------
gmean : Geometric mean
numpy.std : Standard deviation
gzscore : Geometric standard score
Notes
-----
As the calculation requires the use of logarithms the geometric standard
deviation only supports strictly positive values. Any non-positive or
infinite values will raise a `ValueError`.
The geometric standard deviation is sometimes confused with the exponent of
the standard deviation, ``exp(std(a))``. Instead the geometric standard
deviation is ``exp(std(log(a)))``.
The default value for `ddof` is different to the default value (0) used
by other ddof containing functions, such as ``np.std`` and ``np.nanstd``.

r"""
Compute the interquartile range of the data along the specified axis.
The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between the 75th and
25th percentile of the data. It is a measure of the dispersion
similar to standard deviation or variance, but is much more robust
against outliers [2]_.
The ``rng`` parameter allows this function to compute other
percentile ranges than the actual IQR. For example, setting
``rng=(0, 100)`` is equivalent to `numpy.ptp`.
The IQR of an empty array is `np.nan`.
.. versionadded:: 0.18.0
Parameters
----------
x : array_like
Input array or object that can be converted to an array.
axis : int or sequence of int, optional
Axis along which the range is computed. The default is to
compute the IQR for the entire array.
rng : Two-element sequence containing floats in range of [0,100] optional
Percentiles over which to compute the range. Each must be
between 0 and 100, inclusive. The default is the true IQR:
``(25, 75)``. The order of the elements is not important.
scale : scalar or str or array_like of reals, optional
The numerical value of scale will be divided out of the final
result. The following string value is also recognized:
* 'normal' : Scale by
:math:`2 \sqrt{2} erf^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) \approx 1.349`.
The default is 1.0.
Array-like `scale` of real dtype is also allowed, as long
as it broadcasts correctly to the output such that
``out / scale`` is a valid operation. The output dimensions
depend on the input array, `x`, the `axis` argument, and the
`keepdims` flag.
nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):
* 'propagate': returns nan
* 'raise': throws an error
* 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
interpolation : str, optional
Specifies the interpolation method to use when the percentile
boundaries lie between two data points ``i`` and ``j``.
The following options are available (default is 'linear'):
* 'linear': ``i + (j - i)*fraction``, where ``fraction`` is the
fractional part of the index surrounded by ``i`` and ``j``.
* 'lower': ``i``.
* 'higher': ``j``.
* 'nearest': ``i`` or ``j`` whichever is nearest.
* 'midpoint': ``(i + j)/2``.
For NumPy >= 1.22.0, the additional options provided by the ``method``
keyword of `numpy.percentile` are also valid.
keepdims : bool, optional
If this is set to True, the reduced axes are left in the
result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result
will broadcast correctly against the original array `x`.
Returns
-------
iqr : scalar or ndarray
If ``axis=None``, a scalar is returned. If the input contains
integers or floats of smaller precision than ``np.float64``, then the
output data-type is ``np.float64``. Otherwise, the output data-type is
the same as that of the input.

Compute the median absolute deviation of the data along the given axis.
The median absolute deviation (MAD, [1]_) computes the median over the
absolute deviations from the median. It is a measure of dispersion
similar to the standard deviation but more robust to outliers [2]_.
The MAD of an empty array is ``np.nan``.
.. versionadded:: 1.5.0
Parameters
----------
x : array_like
Input array or object that can be converted to an array.
axis : int or None, optional
Axis along which the range is computed. Default is 0. If None, compute
the MAD over the entire array.
center : callable, optional
A function that will return the central value. The default is to use
np.median. Any user defined function used will need to have the
function signature ``func(arr, axis)``.
scale : scalar or str, optional
The numerical value of scale will be divided out of the final
result. The default is 1.0. The string "normal" is also accepted,
and results in `scale` being the inverse of the standard normal
quantile function at 0.75, which is approximately 0.67449.
Array-like scale is also allowed, as long as it broadcasts correctly
to the output such that ``out / scale`` is a valid operation. The
output dimensions depend on the input array, `x`, and the `axis`
argument.
nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):
* 'propagate': returns nan
* 'raise': throws an error
* 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
Returns
-------
mad : scalar or ndarray
If ``axis=None``, a scalar is returned. If the input contains
integers or floats of smaller precision than ``np.float64``, then the
output data-type is ``np.float64``. Otherwise, the output data-type is
the same as that of the input.
See Also
--------
numpy.std, numpy.var, numpy.median, scipy.stats.iqr, scipy.stats.tmean,
scipy.stats.tstd, scipy.stats.tvar
Notes
-----
The `center` argument only affects the calculation of the central value
around which the MAD is calculated. That is, passing in ``center=np.mean``
will calculate the MAD around the mean - it will not calculate the *mean*
absolute deviation.
The input array may contain `inf`, but if `center` returns `inf`, the
corresponding MAD for that data will be `nan`.

"""Return mean of array after trimming a specified fraction of extreme values
Removes the specified proportion of elements from *each* end of the
sorted array, then computes the mean of the remaining elements.
Parameters
----------
a : array_like
Input array.
proportiontocut : float
Fraction of the most positive and most negative elements to remove.
When the specified proportion does not result in an integer number of
elements, the number of elements to trim is rounded down.
axis : int or None, default: 0
Axis along which the trimmed means are computed.

Returns
-------
trim_mean : ndarray
Mean of trimmed array.
See Also
--------
trimboth : Remove a proportion of elements from each end of an array.
tmean : Compute the mean after trimming values outside specified limits.
Notes
-----
For 1-D array `a`, `trim_mean` is approximately equivalent to the following
calculation::
import numpy as np
a = np.sort(a)
m = int(proportiontocut * len(a))
np.mean(a[m: len(a) - m])
Examples
--------

>>> stats.trim_mean(x, 0.25)
2.5
When the specified proportion does not result in an integer number of

>>> stats.trim_mean(x, 0.24999) == np.mean(x)
True
Use `axis` to specify the axis along which the calculation is performed.

The sample measurements for each group. There must be at least
two arguments. If the arrays are multidimensional, then all the
dimensions of the array must be the same except for `axis`.
axis : int, optional
Axis of the input arrays along which the test is applied.

-------

Warns

Raised if all values within each of the input arrays are identical.
In this case the F statistic is either infinite or isn't defined,
so ``np.inf`` or ``np.nan`` is returned.
`~scipy.stats.DegenerateDataWarning`
Raised if the length of any input array is 0, or if all the input
arrays have length 1. ``np.nan`` is returned for the F statistic
and the p-value in these cases.
Notes
-----
The ANOVA test has important assumptions that must be satisfied in order
for the associated p-value to be valid.
1. The samples are independent.
2. Each sample is from a normally distributed population.
3. The population standard deviations of the groups are all equal. This
property is known as homoscedasticity.
If these assumptions are not true for a given set of data, it may still
be possible to use the Kruskal-Wallis H-test (`scipy.stats.kruskal`) or
the Alexander-Govern test (`scipy.stats.alexandergovern`) although with
some loss of power.
The length of each group must be at least one, and there must be at
least one group with length greater than one. If these conditions
are not satisfied, a warning is generated and (``np.nan``, ``np.nan``)
is returned.
If all values in each group are identical, and there exist at least two
groups with different values, the function generates a warning and
returns (``np.inf``, 0).
If all values in all groups are the same, function generates a warning
and returns (``np.nan``, ``np.nan``).

r"""
Pearson correlation coefficient and p-value for testing non-correlation.
The Pearson correlation coefficient [1]_ measures the linear relationship
between two datasets. Like other correlation
coefficients, this one varies between -1 and +1 with 0 implying no
correlation. Correlations of -1 or +1 imply an exact linear relationship.
Positive correlations imply that as x increases, so does y. Negative
correlations imply that as x increases, y decreases.
This function also performs a test of the null hypothesis that the
distributions underlying the samples are uncorrelated and normally
distributed. (See Kowalski [3]_
for a discussion of the effects of non-normality of the input on the
distribution of the correlation coefficient.)
The p-value roughly indicates the probability of an uncorrelated system
producing datasets that have a Pearson correlation at least as extreme
as the one computed from these datasets.
Parameters
----------
x : (N,) array_like
Input array.
y : (N,) array_like
Input array.
alternative : {'two-sided', 'greater', 'less'}, optional
Defines the alternative hypothesis. Default is 'two-sided'.
The following options are available:
* 'two-sided': the correlation is nonzero
* 'less': the correlation is negative (less than zero)
* 'greater': the correlation is positive (greater than zero)
.. versionadded:: 1.9.0
method : ResamplingMethod, optional
Defines the method used to compute the p-value. If `method` is an
instance of `PermutationMethod`/`MonteCarloMethod`, the p-value is
computed using
`scipy.stats.permutation_test`/`scipy.stats.monte_carlo_test` with the
provided configuration options and other appropriate settings.
Otherwise, the p-value is computed as documented in the notes.
.. versionadded:: 1.11.0
Returns
-------
result : `~scipy.stats._result_classes.PearsonRResult`
An object with the following attributes:
statistic : float
Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient.
pvalue : float
The p-value associated with the chosen alternative.
The object has the following method:
confidence_interval(confidence_level, method)
This computes the confidence interval of the correlation
coefficient `statistic` for the given confidence level.
The confidence interval is returned in a ``namedtuple`` with
fields `low` and `high`. If `method` is not provided, the
confidence interval is computed using the Fisher transformation
[1]_. If `method` is an instance of `BootstrapMethod`, the

Numerical errors in the calculation ``x - mean(x)`` in this case might
result in an inaccurate calculation of r.

Notes
-----
The correlation coefficient is calculated as follows:
.. math::
r = \frac{\sum (x - m_x) (y - m_y)}
{\sqrt{\sum (x - m_x)^2 \sum (y - m_y)^2}}
where :math:`m_x` is the mean of the vector x and :math:`m_y` is
the mean of the vector y.
Under the assumption that x and y are drawn from
independent normal distributions (so the population correlation coefficient
is 0), the probability density function of the sample correlation
coefficient r is ([1]_, [2]_):
.. math::
f(r) = \frac{{(1-r^2)}^{n/2-2}}{\mathrm{B}(\frac{1}{2},\frac{n}{2}-1)}
where n is the number of samples, and B is the beta function. This
is sometimes referred to as the exact distribution of r. This is
the distribution that is used in `pearsonr` to compute the p-value when
the `method` parameter is left at its default value (None).
The distribution is a beta distribution on the interval [-1, 1],
with equal shape parameters a = b = n/2 - 1. In terms of SciPy's
implementation of the beta distribution, the distribution of r is::
dist = scipy.stats.beta(n/2 - 1, n/2 - 1, loc=-1, scale=2)
The default p-value returned by `pearsonr` is a two-sided p-value. For a
given sample with correlation coefficient r, the p-value is
the probability that abs(r') of a random sample x' and y' drawn from
the population with zero correlation would be greater than or equal
to abs(r). In terms of the object ``dist`` shown above, the p-value
for a given r and length n can be computed as::
p = 2*dist.cdf(-abs(r))
When n is 2, the above continuous distribution is not well-defined.
One can interpret the limit of the beta distribution as the shape
parameters a and b approach a = b = 0 as a discrete distribution with
equal probability masses at r = 1 and r = -1. More directly, one
can observe that, given the data x = [x1, x2] and y = [y1, y2], and
assuming x1 != x2 and y1 != y2, the only possible values for r are 1
and -1. Because abs(r') for any sample x' and y' with length 2 will
be 1, the two-sided p-value for a sample of length 2 is always 1.
For backwards compatibility, the object that is returned also behaves
like a tuple of length two that holds the statistic and the p-value.

>>> res.confidence_interval(confidence_level=0.9, method=method)
ConfidenceInterval(low=-0.9983163756488651, high=-0.22771001702132443) # may vary
There is a linear dependence between x and y if y = a + b*x + e, where
a,b are constants and e is a random error term, assumed to be independent
of x. For simplicity, assume that x is standard normal, a=0, b=1 and let
e follow a normal distribution with mean zero and standard deviation s>0.
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
>>> s = 0.5
>>> x = stats.norm.rvs(size=500, random_state=rng)
>>> e = stats.norm.rvs(scale=s, size=500, random_state=rng)
>>> y = x + e
>>> stats.pearsonr(x, y).statistic
0.9001942438244763
This should be close to the exact value given by
>>> 1/np.sqrt(1 + s**2)
0.8944271909999159
For s=0.5, we observe a high level of correlation. In general, a large
variance of the noise reduces the correlation, while the correlation
approaches one as the variance of the error goes to zero.
It is important to keep in mind that no correlation does not imply
independence unless (x, y) is jointly normal. Correlation can even be zero
when there is a very simple dependence structure: if X follows a
standard normal distribution, let y = abs(x). Note that the correlation
between x and y is zero. Indeed, since the expectation of x is zero,
cov(x, y) = E[x*y]. By definition, this equals E[x*abs(x)] which is zero
by symmetry. The following lines of code illustrate this observation:
>>> y = np.abs(x)
>>> stats.pearsonr(x, y)
PearsonRResult(statistic=-0.05444919272687482, pvalue=0.22422294836207743)
A non-zero correlation coefficient can be misleading. For example, if X has
a standard normal distribution, define y = x if x < 0 and y = 0 otherwise.
A simple calculation shows that corr(x, y) = sqrt(2/Pi) = 0.797...,
implying a high level of correlation:
>>> y = np.where(x < 0, x, 0)
>>> stats.pearsonr(x, y)
PearsonRResult(statistic=0.861985781588, pvalue=4.813432002751103e-149)
This is unintuitive since there is no dependence of x and y if x is larger
than zero which happens in about half of the cases if we sample x and y.

*Null hypothesis and p-values*
The null hypothesis is that the true odds ratio of the populations
underlying the observations is one, and the observations were sampled at
random from these populations under a condition: the marginals of the
resulting table must equal those of the observed table. Equivalently,
the null hypothesis is that the input table is from the hypergeometric
distribution with parameters (as used in `hypergeom`)
``M = a + b + c + d``, ``n = a + b`` and ``N = a + c``, where the
input table is ``[[a, b], [c, d]]``. This distribution has support
``max(0, N + n - M) <= x <= min(N, n)``, or, in terms of the values
in the input table, ``min(0, a - d) <= x <= a + min(b, c)``. ``x``
can be interpreted as the upper-left element of a 2x2 table, so the
tables in the distribution have form::
[ x n - x ]
[N - x M - (n + N) + x]
For example, if::
table = [6 2]
[1 4]
then the support is ``2 <= x <= 7``, and the tables in the distribution
are::
[2 6] [3 5] [4 4] [5 3] [6 2] [7 1]
[5 0] [4 1] [3 2] [2 3] [1 4] [0 5]
The probability of each table is given by the hypergeometric distribution
``hypergeom.pmf(x, M, n, N)``. For this example, these are (rounded to
three significant digits)::
x 2 3 4 5 6 7
p 0.0163 0.163 0.408 0.326 0.0816 0.00466
These can be computed with::
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy.stats import hypergeom
>>> table = np.array([[6, 2], [1, 4]])
>>> M = table.sum()
>>> n = table[0].sum()
>>> N = table[:, 0].sum()
>>> start, end = hypergeom.support(M, n, N)
>>> hypergeom.pmf(np.arange(start, end+1), M, n, N)
array([0.01631702, 0.16317016, 0.40792541, 0.32634033, 0.08158508,
0.004662 ])
The two-sided p-value is the probability that, under the null hypothesis,
a random table would have a probability equal to or less than the
probability of the input table. For our example, the probability of
the input table (where ``x = 6``) is 0.0816. The x values where the
probability does not exceed this are 2, 6 and 7, so the two-sided p-value
is ``0.0163 + 0.0816 + 0.00466 ~= 0.10256``::
>>> from scipy.stats import fisher_exact
>>> res = fisher_exact(table, alternative='two-sided')
>>> res.pvalue
0.10256410256410257
The one-sided p-value for ``alternative='greater'`` is the probability
that a random table has ``x >= a``, which in our example is ``x >= 6``,
or ``0.0816 + 0.00466 ~= 0.08626``::
>>> res = fisher_exact(table, alternative='greater')
>>> res.pvalue
0.08624708624708627
This is equivalent to computing the survival function of the
distribution at ``x = 5`` (one less than ``x`` from the input table,
because we want to include the probability of ``x = 6`` in the sum)::
>>> hypergeom.sf(5, M, n, N)
0.08624708624708627
For ``alternative='less'``, the one-sided p-value is the probability
that a random table has ``x <= a``, (i.e. ``x <= 6`` in our example),
or ``0.0163 + 0.163 + 0.408 + 0.326 + 0.0816 ~= 0.9949``::
>>> res = fisher_exact(table, alternative='less')
>>> res.pvalue
0.9953379953379957
This is equivalent to computing the cumulative distribution function
of the distribution at ``x = 6``:
>>> hypergeom.cdf(6, M, n, N)
0.9953379953379957
*Odds ratio*
The calculated odds ratio is different from the value computed by the
R function ``fisher.test``. This implementation returns the "sample"
or "unconditional" maximum likelihood estimate, while ``fisher.test``
in R uses the conditional maximum likelihood estimate. To compute the
conditional maximum likelihood estimate of the odds ratio, use
`scipy.stats.contingency.odds_ratio`.

Examples
--------
In [3]_, the effective dose of acetazolamide for the prophylaxis of acute
mountain sickness was investigated. The study notably concluded:
Acetazolamide 250 mg, 500 mg, and 750 mg daily were all efficacious for
preventing acute mountain sickness. Acetazolamide 250 mg was the lowest
effective dose with available evidence for this indication.
The following table summarizes the results of the experiment in which
some participants took a daily dose of acetazolamide 250 mg while others
took a placebo.
Cases of acute mountain sickness were recorded::
Acetazolamide Control/Placebo
Acute mountain sickness 7 17
No 15 5
Is there evidence that the acetazolamide 250 mg reduces the risk of
acute mountain sickness?
We begin by formulating a null hypothesis :math:`H_0`:
The odds of experiencing acute mountain sickness are the same with
the acetazolamide treatment as they are with placebo.
Let's assess the plausibility of this hypothesis with
Fisher's test.
>>> from scipy.stats import fisher_exact
>>> res = fisher_exact([[7, 17], [15, 5]], alternative='less')
>>> res.statistic
0.13725490196078433
>>> res.pvalue
0.0028841933752349743
Using a significance level of 5%, we would reject the null hypothesis in
favor of the alternative hypothesis: "The odds of experiencing acute
mountain sickness with acetazolamide treatment are less than the odds of
experiencing acute mountain sickness with placebo."
.. note::
Because the null distribution of Fisher's exact test is formed under
the assumption that both row and column sums are fixed, the result of
the test are conservative when applied to an experiment in which the
row sums are not fixed.
In this case, the column sums are fixed; there are 22 subjects in each
group. But the number of cases of acute mountain sickness is not
(and cannot be) fixed before conducting the experiment. It is a
consequence.
Boschloo's test does not depend on the assumption that the row sums
are fixed, and consequently, it provides a more powerful test in this
situation.

>>> res = boschloo_exact([[7, 17], [15, 5]], alternative='less')

>>> res.pvalue
0.0015141406667567101

r"""Calculate a Spearman correlation coefficient with associated p-value.
The Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient is a nonparametric measure
of the monotonicity of the relationship between two datasets.
Like other correlation coefficients,
this one varies between -1 and +1 with 0 implying no correlation.
Correlations of -1 or +1 imply an exact monotonic relationship. Positive
correlations imply that as x increases, so does y. Negative correlations
imply that as x increases, y decreases.
The p-value roughly indicates the probability of an uncorrelated system
producing datasets that have a Spearman correlation at least as extreme
as the one computed from these datasets. Although calculation of the
p-value does not make strong assumptions about the distributions underlying
the samples, it is only accurate for very large samples (>500
observations). For smaller sample sizes, consider a permutation test (see
Examples section below).
Parameters
----------
a, b : 1D or 2D array_like, b is optional
One or two 1-D or 2-D arrays containing multiple variables and
observations. When these are 1-D, each represents a vector of
observations of a single variable. For the behavior in the 2-D case,
see under ``axis``, below.
Both arrays need to have the same length in the ``axis`` dimension.
axis : int or None, optional
If axis=0 (default), then each column represents a variable, with
observations in the rows. If axis=1, the relationship is transposed:
each row represents a variable, while the columns contain observations.
If axis=None, then both arrays will be raveled.
nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):
* 'propagate': returns nan
* 'raise': throws an error
* 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
alternative : {'two-sided', 'less', 'greater'}, optional
Defines the alternative hypothesis. Default is 'two-sided'.
The following options are available:
* 'two-sided': the correlation is nonzero
* 'less': the correlation is negative (less than zero)
* 'greater': the correlation is positive (greater than zero)
.. versionadded:: 1.7.0
Returns
-------
res : SignificanceResult
An object containing attributes:
statistic : float or ndarray (2-D square)
Spearman correlation matrix or correlation coefficient (if only 2
variables are given as parameters). Correlation matrix is square
with length equal to total number of variables (columns or rows) in
``a`` and ``b`` combined.
pvalue : float
The p-value for a hypothesis test whose null hypothesis
is that two samples have no ordinal correlation. See
`alternative` above for alternative hypotheses. `pvalue` has the
same shape as `statistic`.
Warns
-----
`~scipy.stats.ConstantInputWarning`
Raised if an input is a constant array. The correlation coefficient
is not defined in this case, so ``np.nan`` is returned.

Examples
--------
Consider the following data from [3]_, which studied the relationship
between free proline (an amino acid) and total collagen (a protein often
found in connective tissue) in unhealthy human livers.
The ``x`` and ``y`` arrays below record measurements of the two compounds.
The observations are paired: each free proline measurement was taken from
the same liver as the total collagen measurement at the same index.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> # total collagen (mg/g dry weight of liver)
>>> x = np.array([7.1, 7.1, 7.2, 8.3, 9.4, 10.5, 11.4])
>>> # free proline (μ mole/g dry weight of liver)
>>> y = np.array([2.8, 2.9, 2.8, 2.6, 3.5, 4.6, 5.0])
These data were analyzed in [4]_ using Spearman's correlation coefficient,
a statistic sensitive to monotonic correlation between the samples.
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> res = stats.spearmanr(x, y)
>>> res.statistic
0.7000000000000001
The value of this statistic tends to be high (close to 1) for samples with
a strongly positive ordinal correlation, low (close to -1) for samples with
a strongly negative ordinal correlation, and small in magnitude (close to
zero) for samples with weak ordinal correlation.
The test is performed by comparing the observed value of the
statistic against the null distribution: the distribution of statistic
values derived under the null hypothesis that total collagen and free
proline measurements are independent.
For this test, the statistic can be transformed such that the null
distribution for large samples is Student's t distribution with
``len(x) - 2`` degrees of freedom.
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> dof = len(x)-2 # len(x) == len(y)
>>> dist = stats.t(df=dof)
>>> t_vals = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100)
>>> pdf = dist.pdf(t_vals)
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
>>> def plot(ax): # we'll reuse this
... ax.plot(t_vals, pdf)
... ax.set_title("Spearman's Rho Test Null Distribution")
... ax.set_xlabel("statistic")
... ax.set_ylabel("probability density")
>>> plot(ax)
>>> plt.show()
The comparison is quantified by the p-value: the proportion of values in
the null distribution as extreme or more extreme than the observed
value of the statistic. In a two-sided test in which the statistic is
positive, elements of the null distribution greater than the transformed
statistic and elements of the null distribution less than the negative of
the observed statistic are both considered "more extreme".
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
>>> plot(ax)
>>> rs = res.statistic # original statistic
>>> transformed = rs * np.sqrt(dof / ((rs+1.0)*(1.0-rs)))
>>> pvalue = dist.cdf(-transformed) + dist.sf(transformed)
>>> annotation = (f'p-value={pvalue:.4f}\n(shaded area)')
>>> props = dict(facecolor='black', width=1, headwidth=5, headlength=8)
>>> _ = ax.annotate(annotation, (2.7, 0.025), (3, 0.03), arrowprops=props)
>>> i = t_vals >= transformed
>>> ax.fill_between(t_vals[i], y1=0, y2=pdf[i], color='C0')
>>> i = t_vals <= -transformed
>>> ax.fill_between(t_vals[i], y1=0, y2=pdf[i], color='C0')
>>> ax.set_xlim(-5, 5)
>>> ax.set_ylim(0, 0.1)
>>> plt.show()
>>> res.pvalue
0.07991669030889909 # two-sided p-value
If the p-value is "small" - that is, if there is a low probability of
sampling data from independent distributions that produces such an extreme
value of the statistic - this may be taken as evidence against the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative: the distribution of total collagen
and free proline are *not* independent. Note that:
- The inverse is not true; that is, the test is not used to provide
evidence for the null hypothesis.
- The threshold for values that will be considered "small" is a choice that
should be made before the data is analyzed [5]_ with consideration of the
risks of both false positives (incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis)
and false negatives (failure to reject a false null hypothesis).
- Small p-values are not evidence for a *large* effect; rather, they can
only provide evidence for a "significant" effect, meaning that they are
unlikely to have occurred under the null hypothesis.
Suppose that before performing the experiment, the authors had reason
to predict a positive correlation between the total collagen and free
proline measurements, and that they had chosen to assess the plausibility
of the null hypothesis against a one-sided alternative: free proline has a
positive ordinal correlation with total collagen. In this case, only those
values in the null distribution that are as great or greater than the
observed statistic are considered to be more extreme.
>>> res = stats.spearmanr(x, y, alternative='greater')
>>> res.statistic
0.7000000000000001 # same statistic
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
>>> plot(ax)
>>> pvalue = dist.sf(transformed)
>>> annotation = (f'p-value={pvalue:.6f}\n(shaded area)')
>>> props = dict(facecolor='black', width=1, headwidth=5, headlength=8)
>>> _ = ax.annotate(annotation, (3, 0.018), (3.5, 0.03), arrowprops=props)
>>> i = t_vals >= transformed
>>> ax.fill_between(t_vals[i], y1=0, y2=pdf[i], color='C0')
>>> ax.set_xlim(1, 5)
>>> ax.set_ylim(0, 0.1)
>>> plt.show()
>>> res.pvalue
0.03995834515444954 # one-sided p-value; half of the two-sided p-value
Note that the t-distribution provides an asymptotic approximation of the
null distribution; it is only accurate for samples with many observations.
For small samples, it may be more appropriate to perform a permutation
test: Under the null hypothesis that total collagen and free proline are
independent, each of the free proline measurements were equally likely to
have been observed with any of the total collagen measurements. Therefore,
we can form an *exact* null distribution by calculating the statistic under
each possible pairing of elements between ``x`` and ``y``.

def pointbiserialr(x, y):
r"""Calculate a point biserial correlation coefficient and its p-value.
The point biserial correlation is used to measure the relationship
between a binary variable, x, and a continuous variable, y. Like other
correlation coefficients, this one varies between -1 and +1 with 0
implying no correlation. Correlations of -1 or +1 imply a determinative
relationship.
This function may be computed using a shortcut formula but produces the
same result as `pearsonr`.
Parameters
----------
x : array_like of bools
Input array.
y : array_like
Input array.
Returns
-------
res: SignificanceResult
An object containing attributes:
statistic : float
The R value.
pvalue : float
The two-sided p-value.
Notes
-----
`pointbiserialr` uses a t-test with ``n-1`` degrees of freedom.
It is equivalent to `pearsonr`.
The value of the point-biserial correlation can be calculated from:
.. math::
r_{pb} = \frac{\overline{Y_1} - \overline{Y_0}}
{s_y}
\sqrt{\frac{N_0 N_1}
{N (N - 1)}}
Where :math:`\overline{Y_{0}}` and :math:`\overline{Y_{1}}` are means
of the metric observations coded 0 and 1 respectively; :math:`N_{0}` and
:math:`N_{1}` are number of observations coded 0 and 1 respectively;
:math:`N` is the total number of observations and :math:`s_{y}` is the
standard deviation of all the metric observations.
A value of :math:`r_{pb}` that is significantly different from zero is
completely equivalent to a significant difference in means between the two
groups. Thus, an independent groups t Test with :math:`N-2` degrees of
freedom may be used to test whether :math:`r_{pb}` is nonzero. The
relation between the t-statistic for comparing two independent groups and
:math:`r_{pb}` is given by:
.. math::
t = \sqrt{N - 2}\frac{r_{pb}}{\sqrt{1 - r^{2}_{pb}}}

r"""Calculate Kendall's tau, a correlation measure for ordinal data.
Kendall's tau is a measure of the correspondence between two rankings.
Values close to 1 indicate strong agreement, and values close to -1
indicate strong disagreement. This implements two variants of Kendall's
tau: tau-b (the default) and tau-c (also known as Stuart's tau-c). These
differ only in how they are normalized to lie within the range -1 to 1;
the hypothesis tests (their p-values) are identical. Kendall's original
tau-a is not implemented separately because both tau-b and tau-c reduce
to tau-a in the absence of ties.
Parameters
----------
x, y : array_like
Arrays of rankings, of the same shape. If arrays are not 1-D, they
will be flattened to 1-D.
initial_lexsort : bool, optional, deprecated
This argument is unused.
.. deprecated:: 1.10.0
`kendalltau` keyword argument `initial_lexsort` is deprecated as it
is unused and will be removed in SciPy 1.14.0.
nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):
* 'propagate': returns nan
* 'raise': throws an error
* 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
method : {'auto', 'asymptotic', 'exact'}, optional
Defines which method is used to calculate the p-value [5]_.
The following options are available (default is 'auto'):
* 'auto': selects the appropriate method based on a trade-off
between speed and accuracy
* 'asymptotic': uses a normal approximation valid for large samples
* 'exact': computes the exact p-value, but can only be used if no ties
are present. As the sample size increases, the 'exact' computation
time may grow and the result may lose some precision.
variant : {'b', 'c'}, optional
Defines which variant of Kendall's tau is returned. Default is 'b'.
alternative : {'two-sided', 'less', 'greater'}, optional
Defines the alternative hypothesis. Default is 'two-sided'.
The following options are available:
* 'two-sided': the rank correlation is nonzero
* 'less': the rank correlation is negative (less than zero)
* 'greater': the rank correlation is positive (greater than zero)
Returns
-------
res : SignificanceResult
An object containing attributes:
statistic : float
The tau statistic.
pvalue : float
The p-value for a hypothesis test whose null hypothesis is
an absence of association, tau = 0.

Notes
-----
The definition of Kendall's tau that is used is [2]_::
tau_b = (P - Q) / sqrt((P + Q + T) * (P + Q + U))
tau_c = 2 (P - Q) / (n**2 * (m - 1) / m)
where P is the number of concordant pairs, Q the number of discordant
pairs, T the number of ties only in `x`, and U the number of ties only in
`y`. If a tie occurs for the same pair in both `x` and `y`, it is not
added to either T or U. n is the total number of samples, and m is the
number of unique values in either `x` or `y`, whichever is smaller.

Examples
--------
Consider the following data from [6]_, which studied the relationship
between free proline (an amino acid) and total collagen (a protein often
found in connective tissue) in unhealthy human livers.
The ``x`` and ``y`` arrays below record measurements of the two compounds.
The observations are paired: each free proline measurement was taken from
the same liver as the total collagen measurement at the same index.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> # total collagen (mg/g dry weight of liver)
>>> x = np.array([7.1, 7.1, 7.2, 8.3, 9.4, 10.5, 11.4])
>>> # free proline (μ mole/g dry weight of liver)
>>> y = np.array([2.8, 2.9, 2.8, 2.6, 3.5, 4.6, 5.0])
These data were analyzed in [7]_ using Spearman's correlation coefficient,
a statistic similar to to Kendall's tau in that it is also sensitive to
ordinal correlation between the samples. Let's perform an analogous study
using Kendall's tau.
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> res = stats.kendalltau(x, y)
>>> res.statistic
0.5499999999999999
The value of this statistic tends to be high (close to 1) for samples with
a strongly positive ordinal correlation, low (close to -1) for samples with
a strongly negative ordinal correlation, and small in magnitude (close to
zero) for samples with weak ordinal correlation.
The test is performed by comparing the observed value of the
statistic against the null distribution: the distribution of statistic
values derived under the null hypothesis that total collagen and free
proline measurements are independent.
For this test, the null distribution for large samples without ties is
approximated as the normal distribution with variance
``(2*(2*n + 5))/(9*n*(n - 1))``, where ``n = len(x)``.
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> n = len(x) # len(x) == len(y)
>>> var = (2*(2*n + 5))/(9*n*(n - 1))
>>> dist = stats.norm(scale=np.sqrt(var))
>>> z_vals = np.linspace(-1.25, 1.25, 100)
>>> pdf = dist.pdf(z_vals)
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
>>> def plot(ax): # we'll reuse this
... ax.plot(z_vals, pdf)
... ax.set_title("Kendall Tau Test Null Distribution")
... ax.set_xlabel("statistic")
... ax.set_ylabel("probability density")
>>> plot(ax)
>>> plt.show()
The comparison is quantified by the p-value: the proportion of values in
the null distribution as extreme or more extreme than the observed
value of the statistic. In a two-sided test in which the statistic is
positive, elements of the null distribution greater than the transformed
statistic and elements of the null distribution less than the negative of
the observed statistic are both considered "more extreme".
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
>>> plot(ax)
>>> pvalue = dist.cdf(-res.statistic) + dist.sf(res.statistic)
>>> annotation = (f'p-value={pvalue:.4f}\n(shaded area)')

>>> ax.set_xlim(-1.25, 1.25)
>>> ax.set_ylim(0, 0.5)
>>> plt.show()
>>> res.pvalue
0.09108705741631495 # approximate p-value
Note that there is slight disagreement between the shaded area of the curve
and the p-value returned by `kendalltau`. This is because our data has
ties, and we have neglected a tie correction to the null distribution
variance that `kendalltau` performs. For samples without ties, the shaded
areas of our plot and p-value returned by `kendalltau` would match exactly.
If the p-value is "small" - that is, if there is a low probability of
sampling data from independent distributions that produces such an extreme
value of the statistic - this may be taken as evidence against the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative: the distribution of total collagen
and free proline are *not* independent. Note that:
- The inverse is not true; that is, the test is not used to provide
evidence for the null hypothesis.
- The threshold for values that will be considered "small" is a choice that
should be made before the data is analyzed [8]_ with consideration of the
risks of both false positives (incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis)
and false negatives (failure to reject a false null hypothesis).
- Small p-values are not evidence for a *large* effect; rather, they can
only provide evidence for a "significant" effect, meaning that they are
unlikely to have occurred under the null hypothesis.
For samples without ties of moderate size, `kendalltau` can compute the
p-value exactly. However, in the presence of ties, `kendalltau` resorts
to an asymptotic approximation. Nonetheles, we can use a permutation test
to compute the null distribution exactly: Under the null hypothesis that
total collagen and free proline are independent, each of the free proline
measurements were equally likely to have been observed with any of the
total collagen measurements. Therefore, we can form an *exact* null
distribution by calculating the statistic under each possible pairing of
elements between ``x`` and ``y``.

small samples with ties, consider performing a permutation test for more
accurate results.

def weightedtau(x, y, rank=True, weigher=None, additive=True):
r"""Compute a weighted version of Kendall's :math:`\tau`.
The weighted :math:`\tau` is a weighted version of Kendall's
:math:`\tau` in which exchanges of high weight are more influential than
exchanges of low weight. The default parameters compute the additive
hyperbolic version of the index, :math:`\tau_\mathrm h`, which has
been shown to provide the best balance between important and
unimportant elements [1]_.
The weighting is defined by means of a rank array, which assigns a
nonnegative rank to each element (higher importance ranks being
associated with smaller values, e.g., 0 is the highest possible rank),
and a weigher function, which assigns a weight based on the rank to
each element. The weight of an exchange is then the sum or the product
of the weights of the ranks of the exchanged elements. The default
parameters compute :math:`\tau_\mathrm h`: an exchange between
elements with rank :math:`r` and :math:`s` (starting from zero) has
weight :math:`1/(r+1) + 1/(s+1)`.
Specifying a rank array is meaningful only if you have in mind an
external criterion of importance. If, as it usually happens, you do
not have in mind a specific rank, the weighted :math:`\tau` is
defined by averaging the values obtained using the decreasing
lexicographical rank by (`x`, `y`) and by (`y`, `x`). This is the
behavior with default parameters. Note that the convention used
here for ranking (lower values imply higher importance) is opposite
to that used by other SciPy statistical functions.
Parameters
----------
x, y : array_like
Arrays of scores, of the same shape. If arrays are not 1-D, they will
be flattened to 1-D.
rank : array_like of ints or bool, optional
A nonnegative rank assigned to each element. If it is None, the
decreasing lexicographical rank by (`x`, `y`) will be used: elements of
higher rank will be those with larger `x`-values, using `y`-values to
break ties (in particular, swapping `x` and `y` will give a different
result). If it is False, the element indices will be used
directly as ranks. The default is True, in which case this
function returns the average of the values obtained using the
decreasing lexicographical rank by (`x`, `y`) and by (`y`, `x`).
weigher : callable, optional
The weigher function. Must map nonnegative integers (zero
representing the most important element) to a nonnegative weight.
The default, None, provides hyperbolic weighing, that is,
rank :math:`r` is mapped to weight :math:`1/(r+1)`.
additive : bool, optional
If True, the weight of an exchange is computed by adding the
weights of the ranks of the exchanged elements; otherwise, the weights
are multiplied. The default is True.
Returns
-------
res: SignificanceResult
An object containing attributes:
statistic : float
The weighted :math:`\tau` correlation index.
pvalue : float
Presently ``np.nan``, as the null distribution of the statistic is
unknown (even in the additive hyperbolic case).

Notes
-----
This function uses an :math:`O(n \log n)`, mergesort-based algorithm
[1]_ that is a weighted extension of Knight's algorithm for Kendall's
:math:`\tau` [2]_. It can compute Shieh's weighted :math:`\tau` [3]_
between rankings without ties (i.e., permutations) by setting
`additive` and `rank` to False, as the definition given in [1]_ is a
generalization of Shieh's.
NaNs are considered the smallest possible score.

Specifically, for each point, MGC finds the :math:`k`-nearest neighbors for
one property (e.g. cloud density), and the :math:`l`-nearest neighbors for
the other property (e.g. grass wetness) [1]_. This pair :math:`(k, l)` is
called the "scale". A priori, however, it is not know which scales will be
most informative. So, MGC computes all distance pairs, and then efficiently
computes the distance correlations for all scales. The local correlations
illustrate which scales are relatively informative about the relationship.
The key, therefore, to successfully discover and decipher relationships
between disparate data modalities is to adaptively determine which scales
are the most informative, and the geometric implication for the most
informative scales. Doing so not only provides an estimate of whether the
modalities are related, but also provides insight into how the
determination was made. This is especially important in high-dimensional
data, where simple visualizations do not reveal relationships to the
unaided human eye. Characterizations of this implementation in particular
have been derived from and benchmarked within in [2]_.
Parameters
----------
x, y : ndarray
If ``x`` and ``y`` have shapes ``(n, p)`` and ``(n, q)`` where `n` is
the number of samples and `p` and `q` are the number of dimensions,
then the MGC independence test will be run. Alternatively, ``x`` and
``y`` can have shapes ``(n, n)`` if they are distance or similarity
matrices, and ``compute_distance`` must be sent to ``None``. If ``x``
and ``y`` have shapes ``(n, p)`` and ``(m, p)``, an unpaired
two-sample MGC test will be run.
compute_distance : callable, optional
A function that computes the distance or similarity among the samples
within each data matrix. Set to ``None`` if ``x`` and ``y`` are
already distance matrices. The default uses the euclidean norm metric.
If you are calling a custom function, either create the distance
matrix before-hand or create a function of the form
``compute_distance(x)`` where `x` is the data matrix for which
pairwise distances are calculated.
reps : int, optional
The number of replications used to estimate the null when using the
permutation test. The default is ``1000``.
workers : int or map-like callable, optional
If ``workers`` is an int the population is subdivided into ``workers``
sections and evaluated in parallel (uses ``multiprocessing.Pool
<multiprocessing>``). Supply ``-1`` to use all cores available to the
Process. Alternatively supply a map-like callable, such as
``multiprocessing.Pool.map`` for evaluating the p-value in parallel.
This evaluation is carried out as ``workers(func, iterable)``.
Requires that `func` be pickleable. The default is ``1``.
is_twosamp : bool, optional
If `True`, a two sample test will be run. If ``x`` and ``y`` have
shapes ``(n, p)`` and ``(m, p)``, this optional will be overridden and
set to ``True``. Set to ``True`` if ``x`` and ``y`` both have shapes
``(n, p)`` and a two sample test is desired. The default is ``False``.
Note that this will not run if inputs are distance matrices.
random_state : {None, int, `numpy.random.Generator`,
`numpy.random.RandomState`}, optional
If `seed` is None (or `np.random`), the `numpy.random.RandomState`
singleton is used.
If `seed` is an int, a new ``RandomState`` instance is used,
seeded with `seed`.
If `seed` is already a ``Generator`` or ``RandomState`` instance then
that instance is used.
Returns
-------
res : MGCResult
An object containing attributes:
statistic : float
The sample MGC test statistic within `[-1, 1]`.
pvalue : float
The p-value obtained via permutation.
mgc_dict : dict
Contains additional useful results:
- mgc_map : ndarray
A 2D representation of the latent geometry of the
relationship.
- opt_scale : (int, int)
The estimated optimal scale as a `(x, y)` pair.
- null_dist : list
The null distribution derived from the permuted matrices.

Notes
-----
A description of the process of MGC and applications on neuroscience data
can be found in [1]_. It is performed using the following steps:
#. Two distance matrices :math:`D^X` and :math:`D^Y` are computed and
modified to be mean zero columnwise. This results in two
:math:`n \times n` distance matrices :math:`A` and :math:`B` (the
centering and unbiased modification) [3]_.
#. For all values :math:`k` and :math:`l` from :math:`1, ..., n`,
* The :math:`k`-nearest neighbor and :math:`l`-nearest neighbor graphs
are calculated for each property. Here, :math:`G_k (i, j)` indicates
the :math:`k`-smallest values of the :math:`i`-th row of :math:`A`
and :math:`H_l (i, j)` indicates the :math:`l` smallested values of
the :math:`i`-th row of :math:`B`
* Let :math:`\circ` denotes the entry-wise matrix product, then local
correlations are summed and normalized using the following statistic:
.. math::
c^{kl} = \frac{\sum_{ij} A G_k B H_l}
{\sqrt{\sum_{ij} A^2 G_k \times \sum_{ij} B^2 H_l}}
#. The MGC test statistic is the smoothed optimal local correlation of
:math:`\{ c^{kl} \}`. Denote the smoothing operation as :math:`R(\cdot)`
(which essentially set all isolated large correlations) as 0 and
connected large correlations the same as before, see [3]_.) MGC is,
.. math::
MGC_n (x, y) = \max_{(k, l)} R \left(c^{kl} \left( x_n, y_n \right)
\right)
The test statistic returns a value between :math:`(-1, 1)` since it is
normalized.
The p-value returned is calculated using a permutation test. This process
is completed by first randomly permuting :math:`y` to estimate the null
distribution and then calculating the probability of observing a test
statistic, under the null, at least as extreme as the observed test
statistic.
MGC requires at least 5 samples to run with reliable results. It can also
handle high-dimensional data sets.
In addition, by manipulating the input data matrices, the two-sample
testing problem can be reduced to the independence testing problem [4]_.
Given sample data :math:`U` and :math:`V` of sizes :math:`p \times n`
:math:`p \times m`, data matrix :math:`X` and :math:`Y` can be created as
follows:
.. math::
X = [U | V] \in \mathcal{R}^{p \times (n + m)}
Y = [0_{1 \times n} | 1_{1 \times m}] \in \mathcal{R}^{(n + m)}
Then, the MGC statistic can be calculated as normal. This methodology can
be extended to similar tests such as distance correlation [4]_.

.. versionadded:: 1.10.0
Notes
-----
The statistic is calculated as ``(np.mean(a) - popmean)/se``, where
``se`` is the standard error. Therefore, the statistic will be positive
when the sample mean is greater than the population mean and negative when
the sample mean is less than the population mean.
Examples
--------
Suppose we wish to test the null hypothesis that the mean of a population
is equal to 0.5. We choose a confidence level of 99%; that is, we will
reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative if the p-value is
less than 0.01.
When testing random variates from the standard uniform distribution, which
has a mean of 0.5, we expect the data to be consistent with the null
hypothesis most of the time.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
>>> rvs = stats.uniform.rvs(size=50, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ttest_1samp(rvs, popmean=0.5)
TtestResult(statistic=2.456308468440, pvalue=0.017628209047638, df=49)
As expected, the p-value of 0.017 is not below our threshold of 0.01, so
we cannot reject the null hypothesis.
When testing data from the standard *normal* distribution, which has a mean
of 0, we would expect the null hypothesis to be rejected.
>>> rvs = stats.norm.rvs(size=50, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ttest_1samp(rvs, popmean=0.5)
TtestResult(statistic=-7.433605518875, pvalue=1.416760157221e-09, df=49)
Indeed, the p-value is lower than our threshold of 0.01, so we reject the
null hypothesis in favor of the default "two-sided" alternative: the mean
of the population is *not* equal to 0.5.
However, suppose we were to test the null hypothesis against the
one-sided alternative that the mean of the population is *greater* than
0.5. Since the mean of the standard normal is less than 0.5, we would not
expect the null hypothesis to be rejected.
>>> stats.ttest_1samp(rvs, popmean=0.5, alternative='greater')
TtestResult(statistic=-7.433605518875, pvalue=0.99999999929, df=49)
Unsurprisingly, with a p-value greater than our threshold, we would not
reject the null hypothesis.
Note that when working with a confidence level of 99%, a true null
hypothesis will be rejected approximately 1% of the time.
>>> rvs = stats.uniform.rvs(size=(100, 50), random_state=rng)
>>> res = stats.ttest_1samp(rvs, popmean=0.5, axis=1)
>>> np.sum(res.pvalue < 0.01)
1
Indeed, even though all 100 samples above were drawn from the standard
uniform distribution, which *does* have a population mean of 0.5, we would
mistakenly reject the null hypothesis for one of them.
`ttest_1samp` can also compute a confidence interval around the population
mean.
>>> rvs = stats.norm.rvs(size=50, random_state=rng)
>>> res = stats.ttest_1samp(rvs, popmean=0)
>>> ci = res.confidence_interval(confidence_level=0.95)
>>> ci
ConfidenceInterval(low=-0.3193887540880017, high=0.2898583388980972)
The bounds of the 95% confidence interval are the
minimum and maximum values of the parameter `popmean` for which the
p-value of the test would be 0.05.
>>> res = stats.ttest_1samp(rvs, popmean=ci.low)
>>> np.testing.assert_allclose(res.pvalue, 0.05)
>>> res = stats.ttest_1samp(rvs, popmean=ci.high)
>>> np.testing.assert_allclose(res.pvalue, 0.05)
Under certain assumptions about the population from which a sample
is drawn, the confidence interval with confidence level 95% is expected
to contain the true population mean in 95% of sample replications.
>>> rvs = stats.norm.rvs(size=(50, 1000), loc=1, random_state=rng)
>>> res = stats.ttest_1samp(rvs, popmean=0)
>>> ci = res.confidence_interval()

Notes
-----
The statistic is calculated as ``(mean1 - mean2)/se``, where ``se`` is the

greater than `mean2` and negative when `mean1` is less than `mean2`.
This method does not check whether any of the elements of `std1` or `std2`
are negative. If any elements of the `std1` or `std2` parameters are
negative in a call to this method, this method will return the same result
as if it were passed ``numpy.abs(std1)`` and ``numpy.abs(std2)``,
respectively, instead; no exceptions or warnings will be emitted.

Notes
-----
Suppose we observe two independent samples, e.g. flower petal lengths, and
we are considering whether the two samples were drawn from the same
population (e.g. the same species of flower or two species with similar
petal characteristics) or two different populations.
The t-test quantifies the difference between the arithmetic means
of the two samples. The p-value quantifies the probability of observing
as or more extreme values assuming the null hypothesis, that the
samples are drawn from populations with the same population means, is true.
A p-value larger than a chosen threshold (e.g. 5% or 1%) indicates that
our observation is not so unlikely to have occurred by chance. Therefore,
we do not reject the null hypothesis of equal population means.
If the p-value is smaller than our threshold, then we have evidence
against the null hypothesis of equal population means.
By default, the p-value is determined by comparing the t-statistic of the
observed data against a theoretical t-distribution.
When ``1 < permutations < binom(n, k)``, where
* ``k`` is the number of observations in `a`,
* ``n`` is the total number of observations in `a` and `b`, and
* ``binom(n, k)`` is the binomial coefficient (``n`` choose ``k``),
the data are pooled (concatenated), randomly assigned to either group `a`
or `b`, and the t-statistic is calculated. This process is performed
repeatedly (`permutation` times), generating a distribution of the
t-statistic under the null hypothesis, and the t-statistic of the observed
data is compared to this distribution to determine the p-value.
Specifically, the p-value reported is the "achieved significance level"
(ASL) as defined in 4.4 of [3]_. Note that there are other ways of
estimating p-values using randomized permutation tests; for other
options, see the more general `permutation_test`.
When ``permutations >= binom(n, k)``, an exact test is performed: the data
are partitioned between the groups in each distinct way exactly once.
The permutation test can be computationally expensive and not necessarily
more accurate than the analytical test, but it does not make strong
assumptions about the shape of the underlying distribution.
Use of trimming is commonly referred to as the trimmed t-test. At times
called Yuen's t-test, this is an extension of Welch's t-test, with the
difference being the use of winsorized means in calculation of the variance
and the trimmed sample size in calculation of the statistic. Trimming is
recommended if the underlying distribution is long-tailed or contaminated
with outliers [4]_.
The statistic is calculated as ``(np.mean(a) - np.mean(b))/se``, where
``se`` is the standard error. Therefore, the statistic will be positive
when the sample mean of `a` is greater than the sample mean of `b` and
negative when the sample mean of `a` is less than the sample mean of
`b`.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
Test with sample with identical means:
>>> rvs1 = stats.norm.rvs(loc=5, scale=10, size=500, random_state=rng)
>>> rvs2 = stats.norm.rvs(loc=5, scale=10, size=500, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ttest_ind(rvs1, rvs2)
Ttest_indResult(statistic=-0.4390847099199348, pvalue=0.6606952038870015)

Ttest_indResult(statistic=-0.4390847099199348, pvalue=0.6606952553131064)
`ttest_ind` underestimates p for unequal variances:
>>> rvs3 = stats.norm.rvs(loc=5, scale=20, size=500, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ttest_ind(rvs1, rvs3)
Ttest_indResult(statistic=-1.6370984482905417, pvalue=0.1019251574705033)

Ttest_indResult(statistic=-1.637098448290542, pvalue=0.10202110497954867)
When ``n1 != n2``, the equal variance t-statistic is no longer equal to the
unequal variance t-statistic:
>>> rvs4 = stats.norm.rvs(loc=5, scale=20, size=100, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ttest_ind(rvs1, rvs4)
Ttest_indResult(statistic=-1.9481646859513422, pvalue=0.05186270935842703)
>>> stats.ttest_ind(rvs1, rvs4, equal_var=False)
Ttest_indResult(statistic=-1.3146566100751664, pvalue=0.1913495266513811)
T-test with different means, variance, and n:
>>> rvs5 = stats.norm.rvs(loc=8, scale=20, size=100, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ttest_ind(rvs1, rvs5)
Ttest_indResult(statistic=-2.8415950600298774, pvalue=0.0046418707568707885)
>>> stats.ttest_ind(rvs1, rvs5, equal_var=False)
Ttest_indResult(statistic=-1.8686598649188084, pvalue=0.06434714193919686)
When performing a permutation test, more permutations typically yields
more accurate results. Use a ``np.random.Generator`` to ensure
reproducibility:
>>> stats.ttest_ind(rvs1, rvs5, permutations=10000,
... random_state=rng)
Ttest_indResult(statistic=-2.8415950600298774, pvalue=0.0052994700529947)
Take these two samples, one of which has an extreme tail.
>>> a = (56, 128.6, 12, 123.8, 64.34, 78, 763.3)
>>> b = (1.1, 2.9, 4.2)
Use the `trim` keyword to perform a trimmed (Yuen) t-test. For example,
using 20% trimming, ``trim=.2``, the test will reduce the impact of one
(``np.floor(trim*len(a))``) element from each tail of sample `a`. It will
have no effect on sample `b` because ``np.floor(trim*len(b))`` is 0.
>>> stats.ttest_ind(a, b, trim=.2)

Returns
-------
result : `~scipy.stats._result_classes.TtestResult`
An object with the following attributes:
statistic : float or array
The t-statistic.
pvalue : float or array
The p-value associated with the given alternative.
df : float or array
The number of degrees of freedom used in calculation of the
t-statistic; this is one less than the size of the sample
(``a.shape[axis]``).
.. versionadded:: 1.10.0
The object also has the following method:
confidence_interval(confidence_level=0.95)
Computes a confidence interval around the difference in
population means for the given confidence level.
The confidence interval is returned in a ``namedtuple`` with
fields `low` and `high`.
.. versionadded:: 1.10.0
Notes
-----
Examples for use are scores of the same set of student in
different exams, or repeated sampling from the same units. The
test measures whether the average score differs significantly
across samples (e.g. exams). If we observe a large p-value, for
example greater than 0.05 or 0.1 then we cannot reject the null
hypothesis of identical average scores. If the p-value is smaller
than the threshold, e.g. 1%, 5% or 10%, then we reject the null
hypothesis of equal averages. Small p-values are associated with
large t-statistics.
The t-statistic is calculated as ``np.mean(a - b)/se``, where ``se`` is the
standard error. Therefore, the t-statistic will be positive when the sample
mean of ``a - b`` is greater than zero and negative when the sample mean of
``a - b`` is less than zero.

Freeman-Tukey statistic.
* ``"mod-log-likelihood"`` (value -1)
Modified log-likelihood ratio.
* ``"neyman"`` (value -2)
Neyman's statistic.
* ``"cressie-read"`` (value 2/3)
The power recommended in [5]_.
Returns
-------
res: Power_divergenceResult
An object containing attributes:
statistic : float or ndarray
The Cressie-Read power divergence test statistic. The value is
a float if `axis` is None or if` `f_obs` and `f_exp` are 1-D.
pvalue : float or ndarray
The p-value of the test. The value is a float if `ddof` and the
return value `stat` are scalars.
See Also
--------
chisquare
Notes
-----
This test is invalid when the observed or expected frequencies in each
category are too small. A typical rule is that all of the observed
and expected frequencies should be at least 5.
Also, the sum of the observed and expected frequencies must be the same
for the test to be valid; `power_divergence` raises an error if the sums
do not agree within a relative tolerance of ``1e-8``.
When `lambda_` is less than zero, the formula for the statistic involves
dividing by `f_obs`, so a warning or error may be generated if any value
in `f_obs` is 0.
Similarly, a warning or error may be generated if any value in `f_exp` is
zero when `lambda_` >= 0.
The default degrees of freedom, k-1, are for the case when no parameters
of the distribution are estimated. If p parameters are estimated by
efficient maximum likelihood then the correct degrees of freedom are
k-1-p. If the parameters are estimated in a different way, then the
dof can be between k-1-p and k-1. However, it is also possible that
the asymptotic distribution is not a chisquare, in which case this
test is not appropriate.
This function handles masked arrays. If an element of `f_obs` or `f_exp`
is masked, then data at that position is ignored, and does not count
towards the size of the data set.

Examples
--------
(See `chisquare` for more examples.)
When just `f_obs` is given, it is assumed that the expected frequencies
are uniform and given by the mean of the observed frequencies. Here we
perform a G-test (i.e. use the log-likelihood ratio statistic):
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy.stats import power_divergence
>>> power_divergence([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12], lambda_='log-likelihood')
(2.006573162632538, 0.84823476779463769)
The expected frequencies can be given with the `f_exp` argument:
>>> power_divergence([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12],
... f_exp=[16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 8],
... lambda_='log-likelihood')

----------
f_obs : array_like
Observed frequencies in each category.

Expected frequencies in each category. By default the categories are
assumed to be equally likely.
ddof : int, optional
"Delta degrees of freedom": adjustment to the degrees of freedom

is the number of observed frequencies. The default value of `ddof`

axis : int or None, optional
The axis of the broadcast result of `f_obs` and `f_exp` along which to
apply the test. If axis is None, all values in `f_obs` are treated
as a single data set. Default is 0.
Returns
-------

pvalue : float or ndarray
The p-value of the test. The value is a float if `ddof` and the
result attribute `statistic` are scalars.

to chi-squared test for small sample sizes.
Notes
-----
This test is invalid when the observed or expected frequencies in each
category are too small. A typical rule is that all of the observed
and expected frequencies should be at least 5. According to [3]_, the
total number of samples is recommended to be greater than 13,
otherwise exact tests (such as Barnard's Exact test) should be used
because they do not overreject.
Also, the sum of the observed and expected frequencies must be the same
for the test to be valid; `chisquare` raises an error if the sums do not
agree within a relative tolerance of ``1e-8``.
The default degrees of freedom, k-1, are for the case when no parameters
of the distribution are estimated. If p parameters are estimated by
efficient maximum likelihood then the correct degrees of freedom are
k-1-p. If the parameters are estimated in a different way, then the
dof can be between k-1-p and k-1. However, it is also possible that
the asymptotic distribution is not chi-square, in which case this test
is not appropriate.

Examples
--------
In [4]_, bird foraging behavior was investigated in an old-growth forest
of Oregon.
In the forest, 44% of the canopy volume was Douglas fir,
24% was ponderosa pine, 29% was grand fir, and 3% was western larch.
The authors observed the behavior of several species of birds, one of
which was the red-breasted nuthatch. They made 189 observations of this
species foraging, recording 43 ("23%") of observations in Douglas fir,
52 ("28%") in ponderosa pine, 54 ("29%") in grand fir, and 40 ("21%") in
western larch.
Using a chi-square test, we can test the null hypothesis that the
proportions of foraging events are equal to the proportions of canopy
volume. The authors of the paper considered a p-value less than 1% to be
significant.
Using the above proportions of canopy volume and observed events, we can
infer expected frequencies.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> f_exp = np.array([44, 24, 29, 3]) / 100 * 189
The observed frequencies of foraging were:
>>> f_obs = np.array([43, 52, 54, 40])
We can now compare the observed frequencies with the expected frequencies.
>>> from scipy.stats import chisquare
>>> chisquare(f_obs=f_obs, f_exp=f_exp)
Power_divergenceResult(statistic=228.23515947653874, pvalue=3.3295585338846486e-49)
The p-value is well below the chosen significance level. Hence, the
authors considered the difference to be significant and concluded
that the relative proportions of foraging events were not the same
as the relative proportions of tree canopy volume.
Following are other generic examples to demonstrate how the other
parameters can be used.
When just `f_obs` is given, it is assumed that the expected frequencies
are uniform and given by the mean of the observed frequencies.

Notes
-----
There are three options for the null and corresponding alternative
hypothesis that can be selected using the `alternative` parameter.
- `two-sided`: The null hypothesis is that the two distributions are
identical, F(x)=G(x) for all x; the alternative is that they are not
identical.
- `less`: The null hypothesis is that F(x) >= G(x) for all x; the
alternative is that F(x) < G(x) for at least one x.
- `greater`: The null hypothesis is that F(x) <= G(x) for all x; the
alternative is that F(x) > G(x) for at least one x.
Note that the alternative hypotheses describe the *CDFs* of the
underlying distributions, not the observed values. For example,
suppose x1 ~ F and x2 ~ G. If F(x) > G(x) for all x, the values in
x1 tend to be less than those in x2.
Examples
--------
Suppose we wish to test the null hypothesis that a sample is distributed
according to the standard normal.
We choose a confidence level of 95%; that is, we will reject the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative if the p-value is less than 0.05.
When testing uniformly distributed data, we would expect the
null hypothesis to be rejected.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
>>> stats.ks_1samp(stats.uniform.rvs(size=100, random_state=rng),
... stats.norm.cdf)
KstestResult(statistic=0.5001899973268688, pvalue=1.1616392184763533e-23)
Indeed, the p-value is lower than our threshold of 0.05, so we reject the
null hypothesis in favor of the default "two-sided" alternative: the data
are *not* distributed according to the standard normal.
When testing random variates from the standard normal distribution, we
expect the data to be consistent with the null hypothesis most of the time.
>>> x = stats.norm.rvs(size=100, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ks_1samp(x, stats.norm.cdf)
KstestResult(statistic=0.05345882212970396, pvalue=0.9227159037744717)
As expected, the p-value of 0.92 is not below our threshold of 0.05, so
we cannot reject the null hypothesis.
Suppose, however, that the random variates are distributed according to
a normal distribution that is shifted toward greater values. In this case,
the cumulative density function (CDF) of the underlying distribution tends
to be *less* than the CDF of the standard normal. Therefore, we would
expect the null hypothesis to be rejected with ``alternative='less'``:
>>> x = stats.norm.rvs(size=100, loc=0.5, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ks_1samp(x, stats.norm.cdf, alternative='less')
KstestResult(statistic=0.17482387821055168, pvalue=0.001913921057766743)
and indeed, with p-value smaller than our threshold, we reject the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative.

"""
Performs the two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for goodness of fit.
This test compares the underlying continuous distributions F(x) and G(x)
of two independent samples. See Notes for a description of the available
null and alternative hypotheses.
Parameters
----------
data1, data2 : array_like, 1-Dimensional
Two arrays of sample observations assumed to be drawn from a continuous
distribution, sample sizes can be different.
alternative : {'two-sided', 'less', 'greater'}, optional
Defines the null and alternative hypotheses. Default is 'two-sided'.
Please see explanations in the Notes below.
method : {'auto', 'exact', 'asymp'}, optional
Defines the method used for calculating the p-value.
The following options are available (default is 'auto'):
* 'auto' : use 'exact' for small size arrays, 'asymp' for large
* 'exact' : use exact distribution of test statistic
* 'asymp' : use asymptotic distribution of test statistic
Returns
-------

An object containing attributes:
statistic : float
KS test statistic.
pvalue : float
One-tailed or two-tailed p-value.
statistic_location : float
Value from `data1` or `data2` corresponding with the KS statistic;
i.e., the distance between the empirical distribution functions is
measured at this observation.
statistic_sign : int

the empirical distribution function of `data2` at
`statistic_location`, otherwise -1.

Notes
-----
There are three options for the null and corresponding alternative
hypothesis that can be selected using the `alternative` parameter.
- `less`: The null hypothesis is that F(x) >= G(x) for all x; the
alternative is that F(x) < G(x) for at least one x. The statistic
is the magnitude of the minimum (most negative) difference between the
empirical distribution functions of the samples.
- `greater`: The null hypothesis is that F(x) <= G(x) for all x; the
alternative is that F(x) > G(x) for at least one x. The statistic
is the maximum (most positive) difference between the empirical
distribution functions of the samples.
- `two-sided`: The null hypothesis is that the two distributions are
identical, F(x)=G(x) for all x; the alternative is that they are not
identical. The statistic is the maximum absolute difference between the
empirical distribution functions of the samples.
Note that the alternative hypotheses describe the *CDFs* of the
underlying distributions, not the observed values of the data. For example,
suppose x1 ~ F and x2 ~ G. If F(x) > G(x) for all x, the values in
x1 tend to be less than those in x2.
If the KS statistic is large, then the p-value will be small, and this may
be taken as evidence against the null hypothesis in favor of the
alternative.
If ``method='exact'``, `ks_2samp` attempts to compute an exact p-value,
that is, the probability under the null hypothesis of obtaining a test
statistic value as extreme as the value computed from the data.
If ``method='asymp'``, the asymptotic Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution is
used to compute an approximate p-value.
If ``method='auto'``, an exact p-value computation is attempted if both
sample sizes are less than 10000; otherwise, the asymptotic method is used.
In any case, if an exact p-value calculation is attempted and fails, a
warning will be emitted, and the asymptotic p-value will be returned.
The 'two-sided' 'exact' computation computes the complementary probability
and then subtracts from 1. As such, the minimum probability it can return
is about 1e-16. While the algorithm itself is exact, numerical
errors may accumulate for large sample sizes. It is most suited to
situations in which one of the sample sizes is only a few thousand.
We generally follow Hodges' treatment of Drion/Gnedenko/Korolyuk [1]_.

Examples
--------
Suppose we wish to test the null hypothesis that two samples were drawn
from the same distribution.
We choose a confidence level of 95%; that is, we will reject the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative if the p-value is less than 0.05.
If the first sample were drawn from a uniform distribution and the second
were drawn from the standard normal, we would expect the null hypothesis
to be rejected.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
>>> sample1 = stats.uniform.rvs(size=100, random_state=rng)
>>> sample2 = stats.norm.rvs(size=110, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ks_2samp(sample1, sample2)
KstestResult(statistic=0.5454545454545454, pvalue=7.37417839555191e-15)
Indeed, the p-value is lower than our threshold of 0.05, so we reject the
null hypothesis in favor of the default "two-sided" alternative: the data
were *not* drawn from the same distribution.
When both samples are drawn from the same distribution, we expect the data
to be consistent with the null hypothesis most of the time.
>>> sample1 = stats.norm.rvs(size=105, random_state=rng)
>>> sample2 = stats.norm.rvs(size=95, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ks_2samp(sample1, sample2)
KstestResult(statistic=0.10927318295739348, pvalue=0.5438289009927495)
As expected, the p-value of 0.54 is not below our threshold of 0.05, so
we cannot reject the null hypothesis.
Suppose, however, that the first sample were drawn from
a normal distribution shifted toward greater values. In this case,
the cumulative density function (CDF) of the underlying distribution tends
to be *less* than the CDF underlying the second sample. Therefore, we would
expect the null hypothesis to be rejected with ``alternative='less'``:
>>> sample1 = stats.norm.rvs(size=105, loc=0.5, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.ks_2samp(sample1, sample2, alternative='less')
KstestResult(statistic=0.4055137844611529, pvalue=3.5474563068855554e-08)
and indeed, with p-value smaller than our threshold, we reject the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative.

which will be used to generate random variables.
cdf : str, array_like or callable
If array_like, it should be a 1-D array of observations of random

(and rvs must be array_like).
If a callable, that callable is used to calculate the cdf.
If a string, it should be the name of a distribution in `scipy.stats`,

Sample size if `rvs` is string or callable. Default is 20.
alternative : {'two-sided', 'less', 'greater'}, optional
Defines the null and alternative hypotheses. Default is 'two-sided'.
Please see explanations in the Notes below.
method : {'auto', 'exact', 'approx', 'asymp'}, optional
Defines the distribution used for calculating the p-value.
The following options are available (default is 'auto'):
* 'auto' : selects one of the other options.
* 'exact' : uses the exact distribution of test statistic.
* 'approx' : approximates the two-sided probability with twice the
one-sided probability
* 'asymp': uses asymptotic distribution of test statistic
Returns
-------
res: KstestResult
An object containing attributes:
statistic : float
KS test statistic, either D+, D-, or D (the maximum of the two)
pvalue : float
One-tailed or two-tailed p-value.
statistic_location : float
In a one-sample test, this is the value of `rvs`
corresponding with the KS statistic; i.e., the distance between
the empirical distribution function and the hypothesized cumulative
distribution function is measured at this observation.
In a two-sample test, this is the value from `rvs` or `cdf`
corresponding with the KS statistic; i.e., the distance between
the empirical distribution functions is measured at this
observation.
statistic_sign : int
In a one-sample test, this is +1 if the KS statistic is the
maximum positive difference between the empirical distribution
function and the hypothesized cumulative distribution function
(D+); it is -1 if the KS statistic is the maximum negative
difference (D-).
In a two-sample test, this is +1 if the empirical distribution
function of `rvs` exceeds the empirical distribution
function of `cdf` at `statistic_location`, otherwise -1.

Notes
-----
There are three options for the null and corresponding alternative
hypothesis that can be selected using the `alternative` parameter.
- `two-sided`: The null hypothesis is that the two distributions are
identical, F(x)=G(x) for all x; the alternative is that they are not
identical.
- `less`: The null hypothesis is that F(x) >= G(x) for all x; the
alternative is that F(x) < G(x) for at least one x.
- `greater`: The null hypothesis is that F(x) <= G(x) for all x; the
alternative is that F(x) > G(x) for at least one x.
Note that the alternative hypotheses describe the *CDFs* of the
underlying distributions, not the observed values. For example,
suppose x1 ~ F and x2 ~ G. If F(x) > G(x) for all x, the values in
x1 tend to be less than those in x2.
Examples
--------
Suppose we wish to test the null hypothesis that a sample is distributed
according to the standard normal.
We choose a confidence level of 95%; that is, we will reject the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative if the p-value is less than 0.05.
When testing uniformly distributed data, we would expect the
null hypothesis to be rejected.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
>>> stats.kstest(stats.uniform.rvs(size=100, random_state=rng),
... stats.norm.cdf)
KstestResult(statistic=0.5001899973268688, pvalue=1.1616392184763533e-23)
Indeed, the p-value is lower than our threshold of 0.05, so we reject the
null hypothesis in favor of the default "two-sided" alternative: the data
are *not* distributed according to the standard normal.
When testing random variates from the standard normal distribution, we
expect the data to be consistent with the null hypothesis most of the time.
>>> x = stats.norm.rvs(size=100, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.kstest(x, stats.norm.cdf)
KstestResult(statistic=0.05345882212970396, pvalue=0.9227159037744717)
As expected, the p-value of 0.92 is not below our threshold of 0.05, so
we cannot reject the null hypothesis.
Suppose, however, that the random variates are distributed according to
a normal distribution that is shifted toward greater values. In this case,
the cumulative density function (CDF) of the underlying distribution tends
to be *less* than the CDF of the standard normal. Therefore, we would
expect the null hypothesis to be rejected with ``alternative='less'``:
>>> x = stats.norm.rvs(size=100, loc=0.5, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.kstest(x, stats.norm.cdf, alternative='less')
KstestResult(statistic=0.17482387821055168, pvalue=0.001913921057766743)
and indeed, with p-value smaller than our threshold, we reject the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative.
For convenience, the previous test can be performed using the name of the
distribution as the second argument.
>>> stats.kstest(x, "norm", alternative='less')
KstestResult(statistic=0.17482387821055168, pvalue=0.001913921057766743)
The examples above have all been one-sample tests identical to those
performed by `ks_1samp`. Note that `kstest` can also perform two-sample
tests identical to those performed by `ks_2samp`. For example, when two
samples are drawn from the same distribution, we expect the data to be
consistent with the null hypothesis most of the time.
>>> sample1 = stats.laplace.rvs(size=105, random_state=rng)
>>> sample2 = stats.laplace.rvs(size=95, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.kstest(sample1, sample2)
KstestResult(statistic=0.11779448621553884, pvalue=0.4494256912629795)
As expected, the p-value of 0.45 is not below our threshold of 0.05, so
we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

The Friedman test tests the null hypothesis that repeated samples of

to test for consistency among samples obtained in different ways.
For example, if two sampling techniques are used on the same set of
individuals, the Friedman test can be used to determine if the two
sampling techniques are consistent.
Parameters
----------
sample1, sample2, sample3... : array_like
Arrays of observations. All of the arrays must have the same number
of elements. At least three samples must be given.
Returns
-------
statistic : float
The test statistic, correcting for ties.
pvalue : float
The associated p-value assuming that the test statistic has a chi
squared distribution.
Notes
-----
Due to the assumption that the test statistic has a chi squared
distribution, the p-value is only reliable for n > 10 and more than
6 repeated samples.

In [2]_, the pulse rate (per minute) of a group of seven students was
measured before exercise, immediately after exercise and 5 minutes
after exercise. Is there evidence to suggest that the pulse rates on
these three occasions are similar?
We begin by formulating a null hypothesis :math:`H_0`:
The pulse rates are identical on these three occasions.
Let's assess the plausibility of this hypothesis with a Friedman test.
>>> from scipy.stats import friedmanchisquare
>>> before = [72, 96, 88, 92, 74, 76, 82]
>>> immediately_after = [120, 120, 132, 120, 101, 96, 112]
>>> five_min_after = [76, 95, 104, 96, 84, 72, 76]
>>> res = friedmanchisquare(before, immediately_after, five_min_after)
>>> res.statistic
10.57142857142857
>>> res.pvalue
0.005063414171757498
Using a significance level of 5%, we would reject the null hypothesis in
favor of the alternative hypothesis: "the pulse rates are different on
these three occasions".

The following options are available (default is 't'):
* 't': get the p-value by t-distribution
* 'normal': get the p-value by standard normal distribution.

Notes
-----
If this function is applied to tests with a discrete statistics such as
any rank test or contingency-table test, it will yield systematically
wrong results, e.g. Fisher's method will systematically overestimate the
p-value [1]_. This problem becomes less severe for large sample sizes
when the discrete distributions become approximately continuous.
The differences between the methods can be best illustrated by their
statistics and what aspects of a combination of p-values they emphasise
when considering significance [2]_. For example, methods emphasising large
p-values are more sensitive to strong false and true negatives; conversely
methods focussing on small p-values are sensitive to positives.
* The statistics of Fisher's method (also known as Fisher's combined
probability test) [3]_ is :math:`-2\\sum_i \\log(p_i)`, which is
equivalent (as a test statistics) to the product of individual p-values:
:math:`\\prod_i p_i`. Under the null hypothesis, this statistics follows
a :math:`\\chi^2` distribution. This method emphasises small p-values.
* Pearson's method uses :math:`-2\\sum_i\\log(1-p_i)`, which is equivalent
to :math:`\\prod_i \\frac{1}{1-p_i}` [2]_.
It thus emphasises large p-values.
* Mudholkar and George compromise between Fisher's and Pearson's method by
averaging their statistics [4]_. Their method emphasises extreme
p-values, both close to 1 and 0.
* Stouffer's method [5]_ uses Z-scores and the statistic:
:math:`\\sum_i \\Phi^{-1} (p_i)`, where :math:`\\Phi` is the CDF of the
standard normal distribution. The advantage of this method is that it is
straightforward to introduce weights, which can make Stouffer's method
more powerful than Fisher's method when the p-values are from studies
of different size [6]_ [7]_.
* Tippett's method uses the smallest p-value as a statistic.
(Mind that this minimum is not the combined p-value.)
Fisher's method may be extended to combine p-values from dependent tests
[8]_. Extensions such as Brown's method and Kost's method are not currently
implemented.

* 'two-sided': the quantile associated with the probability `p`

* 'less': the quantile associated with the probability `p` is less

* 'greater': the quantile associated with the probability `p` is
greater than `q`.
Returns
-------
result : QuantileTestResult
An object with the following attributes:
statistic : float
One of two test statistics that may be used in the quantile test.
The first test statistic, ``T1``, is the proportion of samples in
`x` that are less than or equal to the hypothesized quantile
`q`. The second test statistic, ``T2``, is the proportion of
samples in `x` that are strictly less than the hypothesized
quantile `q`.
When ``alternative = 'greater'``, ``T1`` is used to calculate the
p-value and ``statistic`` is set to ``T1``.
When ``alternative = 'less'``, ``T2`` is used to calculate the
p-value and ``statistic`` is set to ``T2``.
When ``alternative = 'two-sided'``, both ``T1`` and ``T2`` are
considered, and the one that leads to the smallest p-value is used.
statistic_type : int
Either `1` or `2` depending on which of ``T1`` or ``T2`` was
used to calculate the p-value.
pvalue : float
The p-value associated with the given alternative.
The object also has the following method:
confidence_interval(confidence_level=0.95)
Computes a confidence interval around the the
population quantile associated with the probability `p`. The
confidence interval is returned in a ``namedtuple`` with
fields `low` and `high`. Values are `nan` when there are
not enough observations to compute the confidence interval at
the desired confidence.
Notes
-----
This test and its method for computing confidence intervals are
non-parametric. They are valid if and only if the observations are i.i.d.
The implementation of the test follows Conover [1]_. Two test statistics
are considered.
``T1``: The number of observations in `x` less than or equal to `q`.
``T1 = (x <= q).sum()``
``T2``: The number of observations in `x` strictly less than `q`.
``T2 = (x < q).sum()``
The use of two test statistics is necessary to handle the possibility that
`x` was generated from a discrete or mixed distribution.
The null hypothesis for the test is:
H0: The :math:`p^{\mathrm{th}}` population quantile is `q`.
and the null distribution for each test statistic is
:math:`\mathrm{binom}\left(n, p\right)`. When ``alternative='less'``,
the alternative hypothesis is:
H1: The :math:`p^{\mathrm{th}}` population quantile is less than `q`.
and the p-value is the probability that the binomial random variable
.. math::
Y \sim \mathrm{binom}\left(n, p\right)
is greater than or equal to the observed value ``T2``.
When ``alternative='greater'``, the alternative hypothesis is:
H1: The :math:`p^{\mathrm{th}}` population quantile is greater than `q`
and the p-value is the probability that the binomial random variable Y
is less than or equal to the observed value ``T1``.
When ``alternative='two-sided'``, the alternative hypothesis is
H1: `q` is not the :math:`p^{\mathrm{th}}` population quantile.
and the p-value is twice the smaller of the p-values for the ``'less'``
and ``'greater'`` cases. Both of these p-values can exceed 0.5 for the same
data, so the value is clipped into the interval :math:`[0, 1]`.
The approach for confidence intervals is attributed to Thompson [2]_ and
later proven to be applicable to any set of i.i.d. samples [3]_. The
computation is based on the observation that the probability of a quantile
:math:`q` to be larger than any observations :math:`x_m (1\leq m \leq N)`
can be computed as
.. math::
\mathbb{P}(x_m \leq q) = 1 - \sum_{k=0}^{m-1} \binom{N}{k}
q^k(1-q)^{N-k}
By default, confidence intervals are computed for a 95% confidence level.
A common interpretation of a 95% confidence intervals is that if i.i.d.
samples are drawn repeatedly from the same population and confidence
intervals are formed each time, the confidence interval will contain the
true value of the specified quantile in approximately 95% of trials.
A similar function is available in the QuantileNPCI R package [4]_. The
foundation is the same, but it computes the confidence interval bounds by
doing interpolations between the sample values, whereas this function uses
only sample values as bounds. Thus, ``quantile_test.confidence_interval``
returns more conservative intervals (i.e., larger).
The same computation of confidence intervals for quantiles is included in
the confintr package [5]_.
Two-sided confidence intervals are not guaranteed to be optimal; i.e.,
there may exist a tighter interval that may contain the quantile of
interest with probability larger than the confidence level.
Without further assumption on the samples (e.g., the nature of the
underlying distribution), the one-sided intervals are optimally tight.

reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative if the p-value is
less than 0.01.
When testing random variates from the standard uniform distribution, which
has a median of 0.5, we expect the data to be consistent with the null

As expected, the p-value is not below our threshold of 0.01, so
we cannot reject the null hypothesis.
When testing data from the standard *normal* distribution, which has a
median of 0, we would expect the null hypothesis to be rejected.
>>> rvs = stats.norm.rvs(size=100, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.quantile_test(rvs, q=0.5, p=0.5)
QuantileTestResult(statistic=67, statistic_type=2, pvalue=0.0008737198369123724)
Indeed, the p-value is lower than our threshold of 0.01, so we reject the
null hypothesis in favor of the default "two-sided" alternative: the median
of the population is *not* equal to 0.5.
However, suppose we were to test the null hypothesis against the
one-sided alternative that the median of the population is *greater* than
0.5. Since the median of the standard normal is less than 0.5, we would not
expect the null hypothesis to be rejected.
>>> stats.quantile_test(rvs, q=0.5, p=0.5, alternative='greater')
QuantileTestResult(statistic=67, statistic_type=1, pvalue=0.9997956114162866)
Unsurprisingly, with a p-value greater than our threshold, we would not
reject the null hypothesis in favor of the chosen alternative.
The quantile test can be used for any quantile, not only the median. For
example, we can test whether the third quartile of the distribution
underlying the sample is greater than 0.6.
>>> rvs = stats.uniform.rvs(size=100, random_state=rng)
>>> stats.quantile_test(rvs, q=0.6, p=0.75, alternative='greater')
QuantileTestResult(statistic=64, statistic_type=1, pvalue=0.00940696592998271)
The p-value is lower than the threshold. We reject the null hypothesis in
favor of the alternative: the third quartile of the distribution underlying
our sample is greater than 0.6.
`quantile_test` can also compute confidence intervals for any quantile.
>>> rvs = stats.norm.rvs(size=100, random_state=rng)
>>> res = stats.quantile_test(rvs, q=0.6, p=0.75)
>>> ci = res.confidence_interval(confidence_level=0.95)
>>> ci
ConfidenceInterval(low=0.284491604437432, high=0.8912531024914844)
When testing a one-sided alternative, the confidence interval contains
all observations such that if passed as `q`, the p-value of the
test would be greater than 0.05, and therefore the null hypothesis
would not be rejected. For example:
>>> rvs.sort()
>>> q, p, alpha = 0.6, 0.75, 0.95
>>> res = stats.quantile_test(rvs, q=q, p=p, alternative='less')
>>> ci = res.confidence_interval(confidence_level=alpha)
>>> for x in rvs[rvs <= ci.high]:
... res = stats.quantile_test(rvs, q=x, p=p, alternative='less')
... assert res.pvalue > 1-alpha
>>> for x in rvs[rvs > ci.high]:
... res = stats.quantile_test(rvs, q=x, p=p, alternative='less')
... assert res.pvalue < 1-alpha
Also, if a 95% confidence interval is repeatedly generated for random
samples, the confidence interval will contain the true quantile value in
approximately 95% of replications.
>>> dist = stats.rayleigh() # our "unknown" distribution
>>> p = 0.2
>>> true_stat = dist.ppf(p) # the true value of the statistic
>>> n_trials = 1000
>>> quantile_ci_contains_true_stat = 0
>>> for i in range(n_trials):
... data = dist.rvs(size=100, random_state=rng)
... res = stats.quantile_test(data, p=p)
... ci = res.confidence_interval(0.95)
... if ci[0] < true_stat < ci[1]:
... quantile_ci_contains_true_stat += 1
>>> quantile_ci_contains_true_stat >= 950
True
This works with any distribution and any quantile, as long as the samples
are i.i.d.

def wasserstein_distance_nd(u_values, v_values, u_weights=None, v_weights=None):
r"""
Compute the Wasserstein-1 distance between two N-D discrete distributions.
The Wasserstein distance, also called the Earth mover's distance or the
optimal transport distance, is a similarity metric between two probability
distributions [1]_. In the discrete case, the Wasserstein distance can be
understood as the cost of an optimal transport plan to convert one
distribution into the other. The cost is calculated as the product of the
amount of probability mass being moved and the distance it is being moved.
A brief and intuitive introduction can be found at [2]_.
.. versionadded:: 1.13.0
Parameters
----------
u_values : 2d array_like
A sample from a probability distribution or the support (set of all
possible values) of a probability distribution. Each element along
axis 0 is an observation or possible value, and axis 1 represents the
dimensionality of the distribution; i.e., each row is a vector
observation or possible value.
v_values : 2d array_like
A sample from or the support of a second distribution.
u_weights, v_weights : 1d array_like, optional
Weights or counts corresponding with the sample or probability masses
corresponding with the support values. Sum of elements must be positive
and finite. If unspecified, each value is assigned the same weight.
Returns
-------
distance : float
The computed distance between the distributions.
Notes
-----
Given two probability mass functions, :math:`u`
and :math:`v`, the first Wasserstein distance between the distributions
using the Euclidean norm is:
.. math::
l_1 (u, v) = \inf_{\pi \in \Gamma (u, v)} \int \| x-y \|_2 \mathrm{d} \pi (x, y)
where :math:`\Gamma (u, v)` is the set of (probability) distributions on
:math:`\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n` whose marginals are :math:`u` and
:math:`v` on the first and second factors respectively. For a given value
:math:`x`, :math:`u(x)` gives the probabilty of :math:`u` at position
:math:`x`, and the same for :math:`v(x)`.
This is also called the optimal transport problem or the Monge problem.
Let the finite point sets :math:`\{x_i\}` and :math:`\{y_j\}` denote
the support set of probability mass function :math:`u` and :math:`v`
respectively. The Monge problem can be expressed as follows,
Let :math:`\Gamma` denote the transport plan, :math:`D` denote the
distance matrix and,
.. math::
x = \text{vec}(\Gamma) \\
c = \text{vec}(D) \\
b = \begin{bmatrix}
u\\
v\\
\end{bmatrix}
The :math:`\text{vec}()` function denotes the Vectorization function
that transforms a matrix into a column vector by vertically stacking
the columns of the matrix.
The tranport plan :math:`\Gamma` is a matrix :math:`[\gamma_{ij}]` in
which :math:`\gamma_{ij}` is a positive value representing the amount of
probability mass transported from :math:`u(x_i)` to :math:`v(y_i)`.
Summing over the rows of :math:`\Gamma` should give the source distribution
:math:`u` : :math:`\sum_j \gamma_{ij} = u(x_i)` holds for all :math:`i`
and summing over the columns of :math:`\Gamma` should give the target
distribution :math:`v`: :math:`\sum_i \gamma_{ij} = v(y_j)` holds for all
:math:`j`.
The distance matrix :math:`D` is a matrix :math:`[d_{ij}]`, in which
:math:`d_{ij} = d(x_i, y_j)`.
Given :math:`\Gamma`, :math:`D`, :math:`b`, the Monge problem can be
tranformed into a linear programming problem by
taking :math:`A x = b` as constraints and :math:`z = c^T x` as minimization
target (sum of costs) , where matrix :math:`A` has the form
.. math::
\begin{array} {rrrr|rrrr|r|rrrr}
1 & 1 & \dots & 1 & 0 & 0 & \dots & 0 & \dots & 0 & 0 & \dots &
0 \cr
0 & 0 & \dots & 0 & 1 & 1 & \dots & 1 & \dots & 0 & 0 &\dots &
0 \cr
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots
& \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \cr
0 & 0 & \dots & 0 & 0 & 0 & \dots & 0 & \dots & 1 & 1 & \dots &
1 \cr \hline
1 & 0 & \dots & 0 & 1 & 0 & \dots & \dots & \dots & 1 & 0 & \dots &
0 \cr
0 & 1 & \dots & 0 & 0 & 1 & \dots & \dots & \dots & 0 & 1 & \dots &
0 \cr
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots &
\vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \cr
0 & 0 & \dots & 1 & 0 & 0 & \dots & 1 & \dots & 0 & 0 & \dots & 1
\end{array}
By solving the dual form of the above linear programming problem (with
solution :math:`y^*`), the Wasserstein distance :math:`l_1 (u, v)` can
be computed as :math:`b^T y^*`.
The above solution is inspired by Vincent Herrmann's blog [3]_ . For a
more thorough explanation, see [4]_ .
The input distributions can be empirical, therefore coming from samples
whose values are effectively inputs of the function, or they can be seen as
generalized functions, in which case they are weighted sums of Dirac delta
functions located at the specified values.

The energy distance between two distributions :math:`u` and :math:`v`, whose
respective CDFs are :math:`U` and :math:`V`, equals to:
.. math::
D(u, v) = \left( 2\mathbb E|X - Y| - \mathbb E|X - X'| -
\mathbb E|Y - Y'| \right)^{1/2}
where :math:`X` and :math:`X'` (resp. :math:`Y` and :math:`Y'`) are
independent random variables whose probability distribution is :math:`u`
(resp. :math:`v`).
Sometimes the square of this quantity is referred to as the "energy
distance" (e.g. in [2]_, [4]_), but as noted in [1]_ and [3]_, only the
definition above satisfies the axioms of a distance function (metric).
As shown in [2]_, for one-dimensional real-valued variables, the energy
distance is linked to the non-distribution-free version of the Cramér-von
Mises distance:
.. math::
D(u, v) = \sqrt{2} l_2(u, v) = \left( 2 \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} (U-V)^2
\right)^{1/2}
Note that the common Cramér-von Mises criterion uses the distribution-free
version of the distance. See [2]_ (section 2), for more details about both
versions of the distance.
The input distributions can be empirical, therefore coming from samples
whose values are effectively inputs of the function, or they can be seen as
generalized functions, in which case they are weighted sums of Dirac delta

Parameters
----------
arr : array_like

-------
values : ndarray
The unique values from the (flattened) input that are repeated.
counts : ndarray
Number of times the corresponding 'value' is repeated.
Notes
-----
In numpy >= 1.9 `numpy.unique` provides similar functionality. The main
difference is that `find_repeats` only returns repeated values.

"""Assign ranks to data, dealing with ties appropriately.
By default (``axis=None``), the data array is first flattened, and a flat
array of ranks is returned. Separately reshape the rank array to the
shape of the data array if desired (see Examples).
Ranks begin at 1. The `method` argument controls how ranks are assigned
to equal values. See [1]_ for further discussion of ranking methods.
Parameters
----------
a : array_like
The array of values to be ranked.
method : {'average', 'min', 'max', 'dense', 'ordinal'}, optional
The method used to assign ranks to tied elements.
The following methods are available (default is 'average'):
* 'average': The average of the ranks that would have been assigned to
all the tied values is assigned to each value.
* 'min': The minimum of the ranks that would have been assigned to all
the tied values is assigned to each value. (This is also
referred to as "competition" ranking.)
* 'max': The maximum of the ranks that would have been assigned to all
the tied values is assigned to each value.
* 'dense': Like 'min', but the rank of the next highest element is
assigned the rank immediately after those assigned to the tied
elements.
* 'ordinal': All values are given a distinct rank, corresponding to
the order that the values occur in `a`.
axis : {None, int}, optional
Axis along which to perform the ranking. If ``None``, the data array
is first flattened.
nan_policy : {'propagate', 'omit', 'raise'}, optional
Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):
* 'propagate': propagates nans through the rank calculation
* 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
* 'raise': raises an error
.. note::
When `nan_policy` is 'propagate', the output is an array of *all*
nans because ranks relative to nans in the input are undefined.
When `nan_policy` is 'omit', nans in `a` are ignored when ranking
the other values, and the corresponding locations of the output
are nan.
.. versionadded:: 1.10
Returns
-------
ranks : ndarray
An array of size equal to the size of `a`, containing rank
scores.

# original array is associated with each tie count; they perform a reduction
# over the tie counts onnly. The tie counts are naturally computed in a
# sorted order, so this does not unnecesarily reorder them.

def expectile(a, alpha=0.5, *, weights=None):
r"""Compute the expectile at the specified level.
Expectiles are a generalization of the expectation in the same way as
quantiles are a generalization of the median. The expectile at level
`alpha = 0.5` is the mean (average). See Notes for more details.
Parameters
----------
a : array_like
Array containing numbers whose expectile is desired.
alpha : float, default: 0.5
The level of the expectile; e.g., `alpha=0.5` gives the mean.
weights : array_like, optional
An array of weights associated with the values in `a`.
The `weights` must be broadcastable to the same shape as `a`.
Default is None, which gives each value a weight of 1.0.
An integer valued weight element acts like repeating the corresponding
observation in `a` that many times. See Notes for more details.
Returns
-------
expectile : ndarray
The empirical expectile at level `alpha`.
See Also
--------
numpy.mean : Arithmetic average
numpy.quantile : Quantile
Notes
-----
In general, the expectile at level :math:`\alpha` of a random variable
:math:`X` with cumulative distribution function (CDF) :math:`F` is given
by the unique solution :math:`t` of:
.. math::
\alpha E((X - t)_+) = (1 - \alpha) E((t - X)_+) \,.
Here, :math:`(x)_+ = \max(0, x)` is the positive part of :math:`x`.
This equation can be equivalently written as:
.. math::
\alpha \int_t^\infty (x - t)\mathrm{d}F(x)
= (1 - \alpha) \int_{-\infty}^t (t - x)\mathrm{d}F(x) \,.
The empirical expectile at level :math:`\alpha` (`alpha`) of a sample
:math:`a_i` (the array `a`) is defined by plugging in the empirical CDF of
`a`. Given sample or case weights :math:`w` (the array `weights`), it
reads :math:`F_a(x) = \frac{1}{\sum_i w_i} \sum_i w_i 1_{a_i \leq x}`
with indicator function :math:`1_{A}`. This leads to the definition of the
empirical expectile at level `alpha` as the unique solution :math:`t` of:
.. math::
\alpha \sum_{i=1}^n w_i (a_i - t)_+ =
(1 - \alpha) \sum_{i=1}^n w_i (t - a_i)_+ \,.
For :math:`\alpha=0.5`, this simplifies to the weighted average.
Furthermore, the larger :math:`\alpha`, the larger the value of the
expectile.
As a final remark, the expectile at level :math:`\alpha` can also be
written as a minimization problem. One often used choice is
.. math::
\operatorname{argmin}_t
E(\lvert 1_{t\geq X} - \alpha\rvert(t - X)^2) \,.
