Quick Start

from statistical_analyzer import StatisticalAnalyzer

analyzer = StatisticalAnalyzer()

# T-test
analyzer.load_data(df, group_col='treatment', value_col='score')
results = analyzer.t_test(group1='control', group2='experimental')
print(results['interpretation'])

# Regression
analyzer.load_data(df)
results = analyzer.linear_regression(x='age', y='income')
print(f"R²: {results['r_squared']}")
analyzer.plot_regression('regression.png')

Tests

T-Test

Compare means between two groups:

analyzer.load_csv('data.csv')

# Independent samples
results = analyzer.t_test(
    group1='control',
    group2='treatment',
    paired=False
)

# Results
print(results)
# {
#     'statistic': -2.45,
#     'p_value': 0.018,
#     'mean_diff': -5.2,
#     'ci': (-9.5, -0.9),
#     'interpretation': 'The difference is statistically significant (p=0.018)...'
# }

# Paired samples (before/after)
results = analyzer.t_test(
    group1='before',
    group2='after',
    paired=True
)

ANOVA

Compare means across multiple groups:

results = analyzer.anova(
    groups=['control', 'treatment_a', 'treatment_b'],
    value_col='score'
)

# Results include post-hoc tests
print(results['interpretation'])
# "There is a statistically significant difference between groups (p<0.001).
#  Post-hoc tests show treatment_a differs from control (p=0.003)..."

Regression Analysis

# Simple linear regression
results = analyzer.linear_regression(x='hours_studied', y='exam_score')

print(f"R² = {results['r_squared']:.3f}")
print(f"Equation: y = {results['slope']:.2f}x + {results['intercept']:.2f}")
print(f"p-value: {results['p_value']:.4f}")

# Polynomial regression
results = analyzer.polynomial_regression(x='age', y='salary', degree=2)

# Multiple regression
results = analyzer.multiple_regression(
    predictors=['age', 'experience', 'education'],
    target='salary'
)

Correlation Analysis

# Full correlation matrix
corr_matrix = analyzer.correlation(method='pearson')
print(corr_matrix)

# Test specific correlation
results = analyzer.correlation_test('height', 'weight', method='pearson')
print(results['interpretation'])
# "There is a strong positive correlation (r=0.82, p<0.001)"

Distribution Tests

# Test normality
results = analyzer.normality_test('scores', method='shapiro')
# Returns: {'statistic': 0.98, 'p_value': 0.35,
#           'interpretation': 'Data appears normally distributed (p=0.35)'}

# Q-Q plot
analyzer.qq_plot('scores', output='qq_plot.png')

Interpretation Guide

The analyzer provides plain-English interpretations:

Significance Levels

• p < 0.001: "Highly significant"
• p < 0.01: "Very significant"
• p < 0.05: "Statistically significant"
• p ≥ 0.05: "Not statistically significant"

Effect Sizes

• Cohen's d: Small (0.2), Medium (0.5), Large (0.8)
• R²: Weak (<0.3), Moderate (0.3-0.7), Strong (>0.7)
• Correlation: Weak (<0.3), Moderate (0.3-0.7), Strong (>0.7)

Visualizations

Regression Plot

analyzer.linear_regression(x='age', y='income')
analyzer.plot_regression('regression.png')
# Creates scatter plot with regression line and confidence interval

Residual Plot

analyzer.plot_residuals('residuals.png')
# Checks regression assumptions (homoscedasticity)

Box Plot

analyzer.plot_boxplot(
    groups=['control', 'treatment_a', 'treatment_b'],
    value_col='score',
    output='boxplot.png'
)

Distribution Plot

analyzer.plot_distribution('scores', 'distribution.png')
# Histogram with normal curve overlay

Reports

Generate comprehensive reports:

analyzer.load_csv('data.csv')
analyzer.t_test(group1='control', group2='treatment')
analyzer.linear_regression(x='hours', y='score')

# PDF report with all analyses
analyzer.generate_report('analysis_report.pdf', format='pdf')

# HTML report
analyzer.generate_report('analysis_report.html', format='html')

Reports include:

• Summary statistics
• Test results with interpretations
• Visualizations
• Assumptions checks
• Recommendations

Assumptions Checking

Automatic assumptions validation:

# T-test checks:
# - Normality (Shapiro-Wilk)
# - Equal variances (Levene's test)
# Warnings if assumptions violated

# ANOVA checks:
# - Normality per group
# - Homogeneity of variances
# Suggests non-parametric alternatives

# Regression checks:
# - Linearity
# - Homoscedasticity
# - Normality of residuals
# - Independence (Durbin-Watson)
