stats-array

an array prototype extension for performing statistical calculations

Install

npm install stats-array

Example

var StatsArray = require('stats-array')

var arr = [ 50, 40, 30, 20, 30, 40, 50 ]

console.log(arr.stdDeviation()) 
// 11.126972805283735

console.log(arr.stdDeviation(0.95)) 
// also calculates 95% confidence interval
// {
//   confidence: 0.95, 
//   lower:  7.17014792596768, 
//   upper:  24.502329752802414, 
//   value:  11.126972805283735, 
//   length: 7, 
//   alpha:  0.05
// }

API

[]

.stdDeviation([confidence], [bool])

calculate the standard deviation of the set and return the value, or optionally pass in a confidence interval (0.01-0.99) which will change the return value to an object hash

.variance([bool])

calculate the variance of the set

.max()

maximum value in the set

.min()

minimum value in the set

.sum()

sum of all values in the set

.mean()

returns the average

.marginOfError(confidence)

returns the margin of error for a determined confidence value (0.01-0.99).

.range()

returns the range between the min and max values

.toMatrix(number)

divides the set into a matrix of subarrays

.sortAsc()

sort the set with smallest values first

.sortDesc()

sort the set with largest values first

.round()

calls Math.round on every value in the set

.roundTo(num)

round every value to num places

[ 1.2555, 1.2557, 1.256001 ].roundTo(1000)
// => [ 1.256, 1.256, 1.256 ]

[ 955642, 443234, 350460.256001 ].roundTo(0.001)
// => [ 956000, 443000, 350000 ]

[ 1.2555, 1.2557, 1.256001 ].tan().roundTo(100)
// => [ 3.07, 3.07, 3.07 ]

.abs()

calls Math.abs on every value in the set

.acos()

calls Math.acos on every value in the set

.asin()

calls Math.asin on every value in the set

.atan()

calls Math.atan on every value in the set

.ceil()

calls Math.ceil on every value in the set

.exp()

calls Math.exp on every value in the set

.floor()

calls Math.floor on every value in the set

.log()

calls Math.log on every value in the set

.pow(number)

calls Math.pow on every value in the set

.sin()

calls Math.sin on every value in the set

.sqrt()

calls Math.sqrt on every value in the set

.tan()

calls Math.tan on every value in the set

.sin()

calls Math.sin on every value in the set

.confidenceInterval(value, length, confidence)

calculate the confidence of value which was created from a set of length using a gaussian (normal) distribution

Tests

npm install -g tap && npm test

Benchmarks

Extending the Array.prototype causes no significant loss in performance compared with native arrays.
