Democritus Stats

Democritus functions^[1] for working with statistics.

[1] Democritus functions are simple, effective, modular, well-tested, and well-documented Python functions.

We use d8s (pronounced "dee-eights") as an abbreviation for democritus (you can read more about this here).

Installation

pip install d8s-stats

Usage

You import the library like:

from d8s_stats import *

Once imported, you can use any of the functions listed below.

Functions

• def statistical_overview(
      data, *, data_is_sample: bool = False, result_if_no_mode: Any = None, raise_error_if_no_mode: bool = True
  ):
      """Return an overview of the data's statistical properties."""
  

• def mode(data, *, result_if_no_mode: Any = None, raise_error_if_no_mode: bool = True):
      """Return the item in the data which occurs the greatest number of times."""
  

• def variance(data, *, data_mean=None, data_is_sample: bool = False):
      """Return the variance of the data (assuming the data represents an entire population)."""
  

• def stdev(data, *, data_mean=None, data_is_sample: bool = False):
      """Return the standard deviation of the data (assuming the data represents an entire population)."""
  

• def mean(iterable):
      """Return the average of the list."""
  

• def harmonic_mean(iterable):
      """Return the harmonic mean of the list."""
  

• def geometric_mean(iterable):
      """Return the geometric mean of the list."""
