Stats - Golang Statistics Package

A well tested and comprehensive Golang statistics library / package / module with no dependencies.

If you have any suggestions, problems or bug reports please create an issue and I'll do my best to accommodate you. In addition simply starring the repo would show your support for the project and be very much appreciated!

Installation

go get github.com/montanaflynn/stats

Example Usage

All the functions can be seen in examples/main.go but here's a little taste:

// start with some source data to use
data := []float64{1.0, 2.1, 3.2, 4.823, 4.1, 5.8}

// you could also use different types like this
// data := stats.LoadRawData([]int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5})
// data := stats.LoadRawData([]interface{}{1.1, "2", 3})
// etc...

median, _ := stats.Median(data)
fmt.Println(median) // 3.65

roundedMedian, _ := stats.Round(median, 0)
fmt.Println(roundedMedian) // 4

Documentation

The entire API documentation is available on GoDoc.org or pkg.go.dev.

You can also view docs offline with the following commands:

# Command line
godoc .              # show all exported apis
godoc . Median       # show a single function
godoc -ex . Round    # show function with example
godoc . Float64Data  # show the type and methods

# Local website
godoc -http=:4444    # start the godoc server on port 4444
open http://localhost:4444/pkg/github.com/montanaflynn/stats/

The exported API is as follows:

var (
    ErrEmptyInput = statsError{"Input must not be empty."}
    ErrNaN        = statsError{"Not a number."}
    ErrNegative   = statsError{"Must not contain negative values."}
    ErrZero       = statsError{"Must not contain zero values."}
    ErrBounds     = statsError{"Input is outside of range."}
    ErrSize       = statsError{"Must be the same length."}
    ErrInfValue   = statsError{"Value is infinite."}
    ErrYCoord     = statsError{"Y Value must be greater than zero."}
)

Contributing

Pull request are always welcome no matter how big or small. I've included a Makefile that has a lot of helper targets for common actions such as linting, testing, code coverage reporting and more.

1. Fork the repo and clone your fork
2. Create new branch (git checkout -b some-thing)
3. Make the desired changes
4. Ensure tests pass (go test -cover or make test)
5. Run lint and fix problems (go vet . or make lint)
6. Commit changes (git commit -am 'Did something')
7. Push branch (git push origin some-thing)
8. Submit pull request

To make things as seamless as possible please also consider the following steps:

• Update examples/main.go with a simple example of the new feature
• Update README.md documentation section with any new exported API
• Keep 100% code coverage (you can check with make coverage)
• Squash commits into single units of work with git rebase -i new-feature

Releasing

This is not required by contributors and mostly here as a reminder to myself as the maintainer of this repo. To release a new version we should update the CHANGELOG.md and DOCUMENTATION.md.

First install the tools used to generate the markdown files and release:

go install github.com/davecheney/godoc2md@latest
go install github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@latest
brew tap git-chglog/git-chglog
brew install gnu-sed hub git-chglog

Then you can run these make directives:

# Generate DOCUMENTATION.md
make docs

Then we can create a CHANGELOG.md a new git tag and a github release:

make release TAG=v0.x.x

To authenticate hub for the release you will need to create a personal access token and use it as the password when it's requested.
