getDeviation

public static double getDeviation(Feature[] features,
 String attr,
 double mean)

Returns the deviation of the values of the given attribute. Uses a given mean to avoid multiple calculation of the mean. To get the mean take a look at the FeatureCollectionTools class. This class is also used by aritmeticMiddle().

Parameters:

features - array containing the features we want the deviation for

attr - name of the attribute to calculate the deviation for

mean - the mean for the given features

Returns:

the deviation

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the attribute is not of a numerical type

getVariance

protected double getVariance(String attr)

aritmeticMiddle

protected double aritmeticMiddle(Feature[] features,
 int attr)

getMean

public double getMean(int nr)

Get the aritmetic middle for the nr-th attribut given

Parameters:

nr - index number of attribut to calculate the mean for

Returns:

the mean for the attribute or Double.NaN, if errors occured

getPearsonCoefficient

public CorrelationCoefficients.CorrelationInformation getPearsonCoefficient()

get Pearson's correlation coefficient (good, dimension-less measure, if there is a linear relation between the attributes)
see: http://www.netzwelt.de/lexikon/Korrelationskoeffizient.html

Returns:

Pearson's correlation coefficient

getRank2SpearmanRankMap

protected HashMap<Integer,Double> getRank2SpearmanRankMap(Object[] sortedValues,
 HashMap<Object,Integer> value2NumAppearances)

getSpearmansRhoCoefficient

public CorrelationCoefficients.RankCorrelationInformation getSpearmansRhoCoefficient()

get Pearson's correlation coefficient (good, dimension-less measure, if there is a linear relation between the attributes)
see: http://www.netzwelt.de/lexikon/Korrelationskoeffizient.html

Returns:

Pearson's correlation coefficient

getKendalsTauRankCoefficient

public CorrelationCoefficients.RankCorrelationInformation getKendalsTauRankCoefficient()

"Spearman Rank Order Correlations (or "rho") and Kendall's Tau-b (or "tau") Correlations are used when the variables are measured as ranks (from highest-to-lowest or lowest-to-highest)"
