SPSS manual
SAS manual

This follows in large parts the SPSS manual, which is largely the same as
the SAS manual with different, simpler notation.

Freq, Weight in SAS seems redundant since they always show up as product, SPSS
has only weights.

Notes
-----

This has potential problems with ddof, I started to follow numpy with ddof=0
by default and users can change it, but this might still mess up the t-tests,
since the estimates for the standard deviation will be based on the ddof that
the user chooses.
- fixed ddof for the meandiff ttest, now matches scipy.stats.ttest_ind

Note: scipy has now a separate, pooled variance option in ttest, but I haven't
compared yet.

[docs]class DescrStatsW(object): '''descriptive statistics and tests with weights for case weights Assumes that the data is 1d or 2d with (nobs, nvars) observations in rows, variables in columns, and that the same weight applies to each column. If degrees of freedom correction is used, then weights should add up to the number of observations. ttest also assumes that the sum of weights corresponds to the sample size. This is essentially the same as replicating each observations by its weight, if the weights are integers, often called case or frequency weights. Parameters ---------- data : array_like, 1-D or 2-D dataset weights : None or 1-D ndarray weights for each observation, with same length as zero axis of data ddof : int default ddof=0, degrees of freedom correction used for second moments, var, std, cov, corrcoef. However, statistical tests are independent of `ddof`, based on the standard formulas. Examples -------- Note: I don't know the seed for the following, so the numbers will differ >>> x1_2d = 1.0 + np.random.randn(20, 3) >>> w1 = np.random.randint(1,4, 20) >>> d1 = DescrStatsW(x1_2d, weights=w1) >>> d1.mean array([ 1.42739844, 1.23174284, 1.083753 ]) >>> d1.var array([ 0.94855633, 0.52074626, 1.12309325]) >>> d1.std_mean array([ 0.14682676, 0.10878944, 0.15976497]) >>> tstat, pval, df = d1.ttest_mean(0) >>> tstat; pval; df array([ 9.72165021, 11.32226471, 6.78342055]) array([ 1.58414212e-12, 1.26536887e-14, 2.37623126e-08]) 44.0 >>> tstat, pval, df = d1.ttest_mean([0, 1, 1]) >>> tstat; pval; df array([ 9.72165021, 2.13019609, 0.52422632]) array([ 1.58414212e-12, 3.87842808e-02, 6.02752170e-01]) 44.0 #if weiqhts are integers, then asrepeats can be used >>> x1r = d1.asrepeats() >>> x1r.shape ... >>> stats.ttest_1samp(x1r, [0, 1, 1]) ...

This test works also for multi-endpoint comparisons: If d1 and d2 have the same number of columns, then each column of the data in d1 is compared with the corresponding column in d2. This is the same as comparing each of the corresponding columns separately. Currently no multi-comparison correction is used. The raw p-values reported here can be correction with the functions in ``multitest``.
