xicorpy 0.6

Python implementation of Chatterjee's Rank Correlation, its modifications, and other offshoots

Chatterjee's Xi, its Applications, and Offshoots

XicorPy is a Python package implementing Chatterjee's Xi, and its various offshoots. You can use the package with raw python objects, NumPy arrays, or Pandas DataFrames.

Please see the Documentation for an introductory tutorial and a full user guide.

Features

The package currently implements:

1. Chatterjee's Xi from [1]
2. Modified Xi from [2]
3. Codependence Coefficient from [3]
4. Feature Ordering by Conditional Independence (FOCI) for Feature Selection from [3]

Usage

The package is available on PyPI. You can install using pip: pip install xicorpy.

import xicorpy

x = [10, 8, 13, 9, 11, 14, 6, 4, 12, 7, 5]
y = [8.04, 6.95, 7.58, 8.81, 8.33, 9.96, 7.24, 4.26, 10.84, 4.82, 5.68]
xi = xicorpy.compute_xi_correlation(x, y)

xi, p_value = xicorpy.compute_xi_correlation(x, y, get_p_values=True)

Refer to the Docs for more details.
