fishersapi 0.1.1

fishersapi: An API for applying a fast Fisher's Exact Test to variable pairs in pandas DataFrames

fishersapi

A package for applying a fast implementation of Fisher's exact test to observations in a pandas DataFrame.

Contingency tables are computed based on all pairs of columns in cols and all pairs of unique values within the columns. The results are tested against scipy.stats.fishers_exact and fallback on scipy if the faster brentp/fishers_exact_test (~1000x faster) is not installed. The fast version of the test is computed using the package fisher developed by Haibao Tang and Brent Pedersen, which uses cython.

Installation

The package is compatible with Python 2.7 or Python 3.6 and can be installed from PyPI or cloned and installed directly.

pip install fishersapi

Example

import fishersapi
n = 50
df = pd.DataFrame({'VA':np.random.choice(['TRAV14', 'TRAV12', 'TRAV3', 'TRAV23', 'TRAV11', 'TRAV6'], n),
                   'JA':np.random.choice(['TRAJ4', 'TRAJ2', 'TRAJ3','TRAJ5', 'TRAJ21', 'TRAJ13'], n),
                   'VB':np.random.choice(['TRBV14', 'TRBV12', 'TRBV3', 'TRBV23', 'TRBV11', 'TRBV6'], n),
                   'JB':np.random.choice(['TRBJ4', 'TRBJ2', 'TRBJ3','TRBJ5', 'TRBJ21', 'TRBJ13'], n)})
df = df.assign(Count=1)
df.loc[:10, 'Count'] = 15

res = fishersapi.fishers_frame(df, ['VA', 'JA', 'VB', 'JB'], count_col=None, alternative='two-sided')
