Compute correlation matrix and its p-values

• pearson -- Pearson/Sample correlation (interval- and ratio-scale data)
• kendall -- Kendall's tau rank correlation (ordinal data)
• spearman -- Spearman rho rank correlation (ordinal data)

EDA, Dig deeper into results

• flatten -- A table (pandas) with one row for each correlation pairs with the variable indicies, corr., p-value. For example, try to find "good" cutoffs with corr_vs_pval and then look up the variable indicies with flatten afterwards.
• corr_vs_pval -- Histogram to find p-value cutoffs (alpha) for a) highly correlated pairs, b) unrelated pairs, c) the mixed results.
• bracket_pval -- Histogram with more fine-grained p-value brackets.

Utility functions

• find_unrelated -- Return variable indicies of unrelated pairs (in terms of insignificant p-value)

Commands

• Check syntax: flake8 --ignore=F401
• Run Unit Tests: python -W ignore -m unittest discover
• Remove .pyc files: find . -type f -name "*.pyc" | xargs rm
• Remove __pycache__ folders: find . -type d -name "__pycache__" | xargs rm -rf
• Upload to PyPi with twine: python setup.py sdist && twine upload -r pypi dist/*

Debugging

• Notebooks to profile python code are in the profile folder
