NAME

Statistics::Descriptive::PDL::SampleWeighted - Sample weighted descriptive statistics using PDL as the back-end

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

    use Statistics::Descriptive::PDL::SampleWeighted;

    my $stats = Statistics::Descriptive::PDL::SampleWeighted->new;
    $stats->add_data([1,2,3,4], [1,3,5,6]);  #  values then weights
    my $mean = $stat->mean;
    my $var  = $stat->variance;
    
    #  or you can add data using a hash ref
    my %data = (1 => 1, 2 => 3, 3 => 5, 4 => 6);
    $stats->add_data(\%data);
    
    #  if you want equal weights then you need to supply them yourself
    my $data = [1,2,3,4];
    $stats->add_data($data, [(1) x scalar @$data]);
    
    

DESCRIPTION

This module provides basic functions used in descriptive statistics using weighted values. Inherits from Statistics::Descriptive::PDL::Weighted, with the key difference that the weights are forced to be integers.

Variance, skewness and kurtosis all use the unbiased calculations. The median and percentiles are calculated using interpolation, analogous to the unweighted case where values are repeated by the weights.

METHODS

new

Create a new statistics object. Takes no arguments.

add_data (\%data)

add_data ([1,2,3,4], [5,1,1,2)

Same as Statistics::Descriptive::PDL::Weighted except that non-integer weights will be converted to integer using PDL's rules.

Add data to the stats object. Appends to any existing data.
