Statistics and Data Analysis

Mini javascript statistics library for nodejs or the browser.
No production dependencies.

Current Library Coverage

• Standard Deviation
• Mean
• Median (sorts before calculating)
• Median Absolute Deviation (MAD)
• Outlier Detection & Filtering using Iglewicz and Hoaglin's method (MAD) - Use this if the order of your data does not matter.
• Outlier Detection & Filtering using Median Differencing (Default method) - Use this if the order of your data matters. This looks at the difference between adjacent points best for time series data.

Node.js / Browserify / ES6 module

$ npm install stats-analysis

var stats = require("./stats-analysis") // include statistics library

Browser

<script src="https://npmcdn.com/stats-analysis"></script>

window.stats

Usage

var arr = [-2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 15]

//standard deviation
stats.stdev(arr).toFixed(2) * 1 // Round to 2dp and convert to number
> 4.98

//mean
stats.mean(arr).toFixed(2) * 1
> 3.57

//median
stats.median(arr)
> 2

//median absolute deviation
stats.MAD(arr)
> 1

// Outlier detection. Returns indexes of outliers
stats.indexOfOutliers(arr)  // Default theshold of 3
> [6]

stats.indexOfOutliers(arr, 6) // Supply higher threshold to allow more outliers.

// Outlier filtering. Returns array with outliers removed.
stats.filterOutliers(arr)
> [-2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4]

To use different outlier methods:

stats.filterOutliers(arr, stats.outlierMethod.medianDiff)
stats.filterOutliers(arr, stats.outlierMethod.medianDiff, 6) // Different threshold
stats.filterOutliers(arr, stats.outlierMethod.MAD) // Default

stats.indexOfOutliers(arr, stats.outlierMethod.medianDiff)
stats.indexOfOutliers(arr, stats.outlierMethod.medianDiff, 6) // Different threshold
stats.indexOfOutliers(arr, stats.outlierMethod.MAD) // Default

Development

Mocha is used as the testing framework.
Istanbul and codecov used for code coverage.

Commands:

$ npm install   // Grab mocha
$ npm run lint  // Ensure code consistency with standard
$ npm test      // Run tests
$ npm run cov   // Run code coverage. (Ensure 100%)
