effectus 1.0.0.dev3

effectus tells you which minority of causes provokes which majority of effects.

What?

You provide it with a series of numbers. It tells you whether a pareto distribution is present.

Why?

Mean, Median and Most likely value regularly hide that a minority of causes provokes a majority of effects.

The Fallacy of the Arithmetic Mean explains the situation in-depth.

How?

First, install it:

$ pip3 install effectus

Then, in your Python shell do:

from effectus.core import make_summary
make_summary([789, 621, 109, 65, 45, 30, 27, 15, 12, 9])
{'causes': '1/5',
 'effects': '4/5',
 'pareto': True,
 'ratio': 0.707,
 'variability': 0.02}

If you want 80% of results, you need only 20% of causes.
