incrmpcorr2
Compute a moving squared sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient incrementally.
The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between random variables X
and Y
is defined as
where the numerator is the covariance and the denominator is the product of the respective standard deviations.
For a sample of size W
, the sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is defined as
The squared sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is thus defined as the square of the sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/stats-incr-mpcorr2
Usage
var incrmpcorr2 = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-mpcorr2' );
incrmpcorr2( window[, mx, my] )
Returns an accumulator function
which incrementally computes a moving squared sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The window
parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving squared sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient.
var accumulator = incrmpcorr2( 3 );
If means are already known, provide mx
and my
arguments.
var accumulator = incrmpcorr2( 3, 5.0, -3.14 );
accumulator( [x, y] )
If provided input values x
and y
, the accumulator function returns an updated accumulated value. If not provided input values x
and y
, the accumulator function returns the current accumulated value.
var accumulator = incrmpcorr2( 3 );
var r2 = accumulator();
// returns null
// Fill the window...
r2 = accumulator( 2.0, 1.0 ); // [(2.0, 1.0)]
// returns 0.0
r2 = accumulator( -5.0, 3.14 ); // [(2.0, 1.0), (-5.0, 3.14)]
// returns ~1.0
r2 = accumulator( 3.0, -1.0 ); // [(2.0, 1.0), (-5.0, 3.14), (3.0, -1.0)]
// returns ~0.86
// Window begins sliding...
r2 = accumulator( 5.0, -9.5 ); // [(-5.0, 3.14), (3.0, -1.0), (5.0, -9.5)]
// returns ~0.74
r2 = accumulator( -5.0, 1.5 ); // [(3.0, -1.0), (5.0, -9.5), (-5.0, 1.5)]
// returns ~0.64
r2 = accumulator();
// returns ~0.64
Notes
- Input values are not type checked. If provided
NaN
or a value which, when used in computations, results inNaN
, the accumulated value isNaN
for at leastW-1
future invocations. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly before passing the value to the accumulator function. - As
W
(x,y) pairs are needed to fill the window buffer, the firstW-1
returned values are calculated from smaller sample sizes. Until the window is full, each returned value is calculated from all provided values. - In comparison to the sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, the squared sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is useful for emphasizing strong correlations.
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var incrmpcorr2 = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-mpcorr2' );
var accumulator;
var x;
var y;
var i;
// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = incrmpcorr2( 5 );
// For each simulated datum, update the moving squared sample correlation coefficient...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
x = randu() * 100.0;
y = randu() * 100.0;
accumulator( x, y );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
