ConAction

Project Description

The ConAction library provides mathematical functions that are inspired from the metaphor of the Trinity of Covariation as part of the MSc thesis of Galen Seilis.

Supervisory Committee Members

• Supervisor: Dr. Edward Dobrowolski (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, UNBC)
• Committee Member: Dr. Brent Murray (Department of Biology, UNBC)
• Committee Member: Dr. Mohammad El Smaily (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, UNBC)
• External Examiner: Dr. Anne Condon (Department of Computer Science)

The code in this repository is intended to support researchers analyzing multivariate data.

The thesis provides an extensive background reading for this package, and can be found at (link needed).

Installation

ConAction is available through PyPi, and can be installed via pip using

pip install conaction

or

pip3 install conaction

Example Usage

from conaction import estimators
import numpy as np

X = np.random.normal(size=1000).reshape((100,10)) # Get a 100 x 10 data table

estimators.pearson_correlation(X) # Compute the 10-linear Pearson correlation coefficient
