    8.12 Statistics Example

This chapter describes the statistical functions provided by the Science Collection. The basic statistical functions include functions to compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation, More advanced functions allow you to calculate absolute deviation, skewness, and kurtosis, as well as the median and arbitrary percentiles. The algorithms use recurrance relations to compute average quantities in a stable way, without large intermediate values that might overflow.

The functions described in this chapter are defined in the "statistics.rkt" file in the Science Collection and are made available using the form:

 (require (planet williams/science/statistics))

8.1 Running Statistics

A running statistics object accumulates a minimal set of statistics (n, min, max, mean, variance, and standard deviation) for a set of data values. A running statistics object does not require that a sequence (e.g., list or vector) of the data value be maintained.

(statistics? x)  boolean?
  x : any/c
Returns #t is x is a running statistics object.

Returns a new, empty running statistics object.

(statistics-reset! s)  void?
  s : statistics?
Resets the running statistics object s.

(statistics-tally! s x)  void?
  s : statistics?
  x : real?
Updates the running statistice object s with the value of x.

Returns the number of values that have been added to the running statistics object s. This value is zero initially and after a call to statistics-reset!.

(statistics-min s)  real?
  s : statistics?
Returns the minimum value that has been added to the running statistics object s. This value is +inf.0 initially and after a call to statistics-reset!.

(statistics-max s)  real?
  s : statistics?
Returns the maximum value that has been added to the running statistics object s. This value is -inf.0 initially and after a call to statistics-reset!.

(statistics-mean s)  real?
  s : statistics?
Returns the arithmetic mean of the values that have been added to the running statistics object s. This value is zero initially and after a call to statistics-reset!.

Returns the estimated, or sample, variance of the values that have been added to the running statistics object s. This value is zero initially and after a call to statistics-reset!.

Returns the standard deviation of the values that have been added to the running statistics object s. This is the square root of the value returned by statistics-variance.

8.2 Running Statistics Example

This example generated 100 random numbers between 0.0 and 10.0 and maintains running statistics on the values.

#lang racket
(require (planet williams/science/statistics)
         (planet williams/science/random-distributions))
 
(define (test)
  (let ((stat (make-statistics)))
    (for ((i (in-range 100)))
      (statistics-tally! stat (random-flat 0.0 10.0)))
    (printf "Running Statistics Example~n")
    (printf "                 n = ~a~n" (statistics-n stat))
    (printf "               min = ~a~n" (statistics-min stat))

8.11 Median and Quartiles

Returns the median value of sorted-data. When the dataset has an odd number of elements, the median is the value of element (n - 1)/2. When the dataset has an even number of elements, the median is the mean of the two nearest middle values, elements (n - 1)/2 and n/2.

Returns a quantile value of sorted-data. The quantile is determined by the value f, a fraction between 0 and 1. For example to compute the 75th percentile, f should have the value 0.75.

The quantile is found by interpolation using the formula:

quantile = 1 - delta(x[i]) + delta(x(i + 1))

where i is floor((n - 1) × f) and delta is (n - 1) × f - 1.
