Statistical tests

The statistical tests provided out of the box all originate from one of two libraries — scipy.stats or statsmodels.tsa.stattools. Would you like any tests added? Contact us at [email protected].
Open the / menu and search for 'stat' or type /stat to filter the commands to the various statistical test blocks.
Use the command window to find a list of all available statistical tests.
How to use statistical tests
All of our statistical test blocks operate on python arrays.
1.Select the statistical test you'd like to run, and click to add the block to the page.
2.Click on the array dropdown to see a list of Python arrays available in the kernel on the page.
3.If your arrays change, click the refresh button to the right of the array dropdown to re-run the test.
Statistical tests available out of the box

Using the results of a statistical test further on in your analysis
After you've run a test, the output of the test is available as a python variable in the kernel. Open the variable explorer to inspect. You can access and use it further in your code blocks, or even add it to a text block.
