Method Detail

colStats

public static MultivariateStatisticalSummary colStats(RDD<Vector> X)

:: Experimental :: Computes column-wise summary statistics for the input RDD[Vector].

Parameters:

X - an RDD[Vector] for which column-wise summary statistics are to be computed.

Returns:

MultivariateStatisticalSummary object containing column-wise summary statistics.

corr

public static Matrix corr(RDD<Vector> X)

:: Experimental :: Compute the Pearson correlation matrix for the input RDD of Vectors. Columns with 0 covariance produce NaN entries in the correlation matrix.

Parameters:

X - an RDD[Vector] for which the correlation matrix is to be computed.

Returns:

Pearson correlation matrix comparing columns in X.

corr

public static Matrix corr(RDD<Vector> X,
          String method)

:: Experimental :: Compute the correlation matrix for the input RDD of Vectors using the specified method. Methods currently supported: pearson (default), spearman.

Note that for Spearman, a rank correlation, we need to create an RDD[Double] for each column and sort it in order to retrieve the ranks and then join the columns back into an RDD[Vector], which is fairly costly. Cache the input RDD before calling corr with method = "spearman" to avoid recomputing the common lineage.

Parameters:

X - an RDD[Vector] for which the correlation matrix is to be computed.

method - String specifying the method to use for computing correlation. Supported: pearson (default), spearman

Returns:

Correlation matrix comparing columns in X.

corr

public static double corr(RDD<Object> x,
          RDD<Object> y)

:: Experimental :: Compute the Pearson correlation for the input RDDs. Returns NaN if either vector has 0 variance.

Note: the two input RDDs need to have the same number of partitions and the same number of elements in each partition.

Parameters:

x - RDD[Double] of the same cardinality as y.

y - RDD[Double] of the same cardinality as x.

Returns:

A Double containing the Pearson correlation between the two input RDD[Double]s

corr

public static double corr(RDD<Object> x,
          RDD<Object> y,
          String method)

:: Experimental :: Compute the correlation for the input RDDs using the specified method. Methods currently supported: pearson (default), spearman.

Note: the two input RDDs need to have the same number of partitions and the same number of elements in each partition.

Parameters:

x - RDD[Double] of the same cardinality as y.

y - RDD[Double] of the same cardinality as x.

method - String specifying the method to use for computing correlation. Supported: pearson (default), spearman

Returns:

A Double containing the correlation between the two input RDD[Double]s using the specified method.

chiSqTest

public static ChiSqTestResult chiSqTest(Vector observed,
                        Vector expected)

:: Experimental :: Conduct Pearson's chi-squared goodness of fit test of the observed data against the expected distribution.

Note: the two input Vectors need to have the same size. observed cannot contain negative values. expected cannot contain nonpositive values.

Parameters:

observed - Vector containing the observed categorical counts/relative frequencies.

expected - Vector containing the expected categorical counts/relative frequencies. expected is rescaled if the expected sum differs from the observed sum.

Returns:

ChiSquaredTest object containing the test statistic, degrees of freedom, p-value, the method used, and the null hypothesis.

chiSqTest

public static ChiSqTestResult chiSqTest(Vector observed)

:: Experimental :: Conduct Pearson's chi-squared goodness of fit test of the observed data against the uniform distribution, with each category having an expected frequency of 1 / observed.size.

Note: observed cannot contain negative values.

Parameters:

observed - Vector containing the observed categorical counts/relative frequencies.

Returns:

ChiSquaredTest object containing the test statistic, degrees of freedom, p-value, the method used, and the null hypothesis.

chiSqTest

public static ChiSqTestResult chiSqTest(Matrix observed)

:: Experimental :: Conduct Pearson's independence test on the input contingency matrix, which cannot contain negative entries or columns or rows that sum up to 0.

Parameters:

observed - The contingency matrix (containing either counts or relative frequencies).

Returns:

ChiSquaredTest object containing the test statistic, degrees of freedom, p-value, the method used, and the null hypothesis.

chiSqTest

public static ChiSqTestResult[] chiSqTest(RDD<LabeledPoint> data)

:: Experimental :: Conduct Pearson's independence test for every feature against the label across the input RDD. For each feature, the (feature, label) pairs are converted into a contingency matrix for which the chi-squared statistic is computed. All label and feature values must be categorical.

Parameters:

data - an RDD[LabeledPoint] containing the labeled dataset with categorical features. Real-valued features will be treated as categorical for each distinct value.

Returns:

an array containing the ChiSquaredTestResult for every feature against the label. The order of the elements in the returned array reflects the order of input features.
