XL-mHG: A Nonparametric Test For Enrichment in Ranked Binary Lists.

This is an efficient Python/Cython implementation of the nonparametric XL-mHG test for enrichment in ranked binary lists. The XL-mHG test is an extension of the mHG test, which was developed by Dr. Zohar Yakhini and colleagues.

If you use the XL-mHG in your research, please cite Eden et al. (2007) and Wagner (2015).

Installation

$ pip install xlmhg

Usage

import xlmhg
n,s,pval = xlmhg.test(v,X,L)

Where v is a NumPy array of type "np.uint8" containing only zeros and ones, X, and L are parameters, and the return values have the following meanings:

• n: The threshold which the XL-mHG test statistic was based on.

• s: The value of the XL-mHG test statistic

• pval: The XL-mHG p-value associated with s.

Background

For a discussion of the statistical background and implementation of this test, please see my Technical Report on arXiv.
