statsmodels.sandbox.stats.multicomp.homogeneous_subsets(vals, dcrit)[source]¶

recursively check all pairs of vals for minimum distance

step down method as in Newman-Keuls and Ryan procedures. This is not a closed procedure since not all partitions are checked.

Parameters

valsarray_like: values that are pairwise compared
dcritarray_like or float: critical distance for rejecting, either float, or 2-dimensional array with distances on the upper triangle.

Returns

rejslist of pairs: list of pair-indices with (strictly) larger than critical difference
nrejslist of pairs: list of pair-indices with smaller than critical difference
llilist of tuples: list of subsets with smaller than critical difference
restree: result of all comparisons (for checking)
this follows description in SPSS notes on Post-Hoc Tests
Because of the recursive structure, some comparisons are made several
times, but only unique pairs or sets are returned.

Examples

>>> m = [0, 2, 2.5, 3, 6, 8, 9, 9.5,10 ]
>>> rej, nrej, ssli, res = homogeneous_subsets(m, 2)
>>> set_partition(ssli)
([(5, 6, 7, 8), (1, 2, 3), (4,)], [0])
>>> [np.array(m)[list(pp)] for pp in set_partition(ssli)[0]]
[array([  8. ,   9. ,   9.5,  10. ]), array([ 2. ,  2.5,  3. ]), array([ 6.])]
