Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

inference for correlation rho via fisher transformation

NPM version Coverage Status

Inference for Pearson correlation

Installation & Usage

npm install fisher-transform

Require as follows:

var fisher = require('fisher-transform');

fisher exports the following functions:

fisherTest(rho, n, [alpha, alternative, rho_0])

The function parameters are:

  • rho: the Pearson correlation for which inference should be carried out
  • n: the number of sample observations
  • alpha: the significance level of the test, default value is 0.05
  • alternative: default value "two-sided", for one-sided tests options "greater" and "less" exist
  • rho_0: the value of rho assumed under the null hypothesis, default value is 0

Specifically, the two-sided test is

H_0: rho = rho_0 vs. H_1: rho != rho_0

and the one-sided tests are

H_0: rho = rho_0 vs. H_1: rho >= rho_0

and

H_0: rho = rho_0 vs. H_1: rho <= rho_0

For the chosen test, its p-value is calculated. In addition, a 1-alpha confidence interval is constructed by inverting the test statistic. The function returns an object with with two keys: pvalue and CI. The former holds the pvalue, while the latter is an Array with two elements, the lower and upper bounds of the calculated confidence interval.

r2z(r)

Applies the Fisher transformation to r to obtain z, where z = arctanh(r)

z2r(z)

Applies the inverse Fisher transformation to z in order to recover r, where r = tanh(z)

zScore(r, r_0, n)

Returns the Fisher z-score for Pearson correlation r under the null hypothesis that r = r_0. Approximately, the z-score follows a standard normal distribution.

Unit Tests

Run tests via the command npm test
