TrinomialTest 1.0.3

A Python version of the Trinomial Test

TrinomialTest

The trinomial test is a non-parametric statistical test for consistent differences between paired data or medians.

Install

From PyPI:

pip install TrinomialTest

From source:

git clone https://github.com/jrudar/TrinomialTest.git
cd TrinomialTest
pip install .
# or create a virtual environment

Usage

import numpy as np
from TrinomialTest import TrinomialTest
X = np.asarray([1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3])
Y = np.asarray([2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3])
result = TrinomialTest(X, Y, alternative = "two-sided")

# p-value should be 0.0772262851453612
print(result.pvalue)
