fairlens.metrics.KruskalWallis#
- class KruskalWallis(p_value_test='bootstrap')[source]#
Bases:
fairlens.metrics.distance.ContinuousDistanceMetric
Methods
Initialize continuous distance metric.
Check whether the input is valid.
Distance between the distribution of numerical data in x and y.
Returns a p-value for the test that x and y are sampled from the same distribution.
- __call__(x, y)#
Calculate the distance between two distributions.
- Parameters
x (pd.Series) – The data in the column representing the first group.
y (pd.Series) – The data in the column representing the second group.
- Returns
The computed distance.
- Return type
Optional[float]
- __init__(p_value_test='bootstrap')#
Initialize continuous distance metric.
- Parameters
p_value_test (str, optional) – Choose which method of resampling will be used to compute the p-value. Overidden by metrics such as Kolmogrov Smirnov Distance. Defaults to “permutation”.
- check_input(x, y)#
Check whether the input is valid. Returns False if x and y have different dtypes by default.
- Parameters
x (pd.Series) – The data in the column representing the first group.
y (pd.Series) – The data in the column representing the second group.
- Returns
Whether or not the input is valid.
- Return type
bool
- distance(x, y)[source]#
Distance between the distribution of numerical data in x and y. Derived classes must implement this.
- Parameters
x (pd.Series) – Numerical data in a column.
y (pd.Series) – Numerical data in a column.
- Returns
The computed distance.
- Return type
float
- property id: str#
A string identifier for the method. Used by fairlens.metrics.stat_distance(). Derived classes must implement this.
