About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Float32Results

Create a one-sample Z-test single-precision floating-point results object.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-ztest-one-sample-results-float32

Alternatively,

• To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
• If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
• For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var Float32Results = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-ztest-one-sample-results-float32' );

Float32Results( [arg[, byteOffset[, byteLength]]] )

Returns a one-sample Z-test single-precision floating-point results object.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

The function supports the following parameters:

• arg: an ArrayBuffer or a data object (optional).
• byteOffset: byte offset (optional).
• byteLength: maximum byte length (optional).

A data object argument is an object having one or more of the following properties:

• rejected: boolean indicating whether the null hypothesis was rejected.
• alternative: the alternative hypothesis (e.g., 'two-sided', 'less', or 'greater').
• alpha: significance level.
• pValue: p-value.
• statistic: test statistic.
• ci: confidence interval as a Float32Array.
• nullValue: mean under the null hypothesis.
• sd: standard error of the mean.

Float32Results.prototype.rejected

Boolean indicating whether the null hypothesis was rejected.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.rejected;
// returns <boolean>

Float32Results.prototype.alternative

The alternative hypothesis.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.alternative;
// returns <string>

Float32Results.prototype.alpha

Significance level.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.alpha;
// returns <number>

Float32Results.prototype.pValue

The test p-value.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.pValue;
// returns <number>

Float32Results.prototype.statistic

The test statistic.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.statistic;
// returns <number>

Float32Results.prototype.ci

Confidence interval.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.ci;
// returns <Float32Array>

Float32Results.prototype.nullValue

Mean under the null hypothesis.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.nullValue;
// returns <number>

Float32Results.prototype.sd

Standard error of the mean.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.sd;
// returns <number>

Float32Results.prototype.toString( [options] )

Serializes a results object to a formatted string.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.toString();
// returns <string>

The method supports the following options:

• digits: number of digits to display after decimal points. Default: 4.
• decision: boolean indicating whether to show the test decision. Default: true.

Example output:

One-sample Z-test

Alternative hypothesis: True mean is less than 1.0

    pValue: 0.0406
    statistic: 9.9901
    95% confidence interval: [9.7821, 10.4451]

Test Decision: Reject null in favor of alternative at 5% significance level

Float32Results.prototype.toJSON( [options] )

Serializes a results object as a JSON object.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.toJSON();
// returns {...}

JSON.stringify() implicitly calls this method when stringifying a results instance.

Float32Results.prototype.toDataView()

Returns a DataView of a results object.

var results = new Float32Results();
// returns {...}

// ...

var v = results.toDataView();
// returns <DataView>

Notes

• A results object is a struct providing a fixed-width composite data structure for storing one-sample Z-test results and providing an ABI-stable data layout for JavaScript-C interoperation.

Examples

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var Results = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-ztest-one-sample-results-float32' );

var results = new Results({
    'rejected': true,
    'alpha': 0.05,
    'pValue': 0.3364,
    'statistic': 11.7586,
    'nullValue': 0.0,
    'sd': 0.4563,
    'ci': new Float32Array( [ 9.9983, 11.4123 ] ),
    'alternative': 'two-sided'
});

var str = results.toString({
    'format': 'linear'
});
console.log( str );
