Package stats contains a set of classical statistical inference and
hypothesis testing procedures.
All these functions return an inference_result Maxima object which contains
the necessary results for population inferences and decision making.
Global variable stats_numer controls whether results are given in
floating point or symbolic and rational format; its default value is true
and results are returned in floating point format.
Package descriptive contains some utilities to manipulate data structures
(lists and matrices); for example, to extract subsamples. It also contains some
examples on how to use package numericalio to read data from plain text
files. See descriptive and numericalio for more details.
Package stats loads packages descriptive, distrib and
inference_result.

Constructs an inference_result object of the type returned by the
stats functions. Argument title is a
string with the name of the procedure; values is a list with
elements of the form symbol = value and numbers is a list
with positive integer numbers ranging from one to length(values),
indicating which values will be shown by default.
Example:
This is a simple example showing results concerning a rectangle. The title of
this object is the string "Rectangle", it stores five results, named
'base, 'height, 'diagonal, 'area,
and 'perimeter, but only the first, second, fifth, and fourth
will be displayed. The 'diagonal is stored in this object, but it is
not displayed; to access its value, make use of function take_inference.
(%i1) load(inference_result)$
(%i2) b: 3$ h: 2$
(%i3) inference_result("Rectangle",
['base=b,
'height=h,
'diagonal=sqrt(b^2+h^2),
'area=b*h,
'perimeter=2*(b+h)],
[1,2,5,4] );

Returns true or false, depending on whether obj is an
inference_result object or not.
Categories: Package stats
Returns a list with the names of the items stored in obj, which must
be an inference_result object.
Example:
The inference_result object stores two values, named 'pi and 'e,
but only the second is displayed. The items_inference function returns the names
of all items, no matter they are displayed or not.
(%i1) load(inference_result)$
(%i2) inference_result("Hi", ['pi=%pi,'e=%e],[2]);
| Hi
(%o2) |
| e = %e
(%i3) items_inference(%);
(%o3) [pi, e]
Categories: Package stats
Returns the n-th value stored in obj if n is a positive integer,
or the item named name if this is the name of an item. If the first
argument is a list of numbers and/or symbols, function take_inference returns
a list with the corresponding results.
Example:
Given an inference_result object, function take_inference is
called in order to extract some information stored in it.
(%i1) load(inference_result)$
(%i2) b: 3$ h: 2$
(%i3) sol: inference_result("Rectangle",
['base=b,
'height=h,
'diagonal=sqrt(b^2+h^2),

[1,2,5,4] );

This is the mean t-test. Argument x is a list or a column matrix
containing a one dimensional sample. It also performs an asymptotic test
based on the Central Limit Theorem if option 'asymptotic is
true.
Options:
'mean, default 0, is the mean value to be checked.
'alternative, default 'twosided, is the alternative hypothesis;
valid values are: 'twosided, 'greater and 'less.
'dev, default 'unknown, this is the value of the standard deviation when it is
known; valid values are: 'unknown or a positive expression.
'conflevel, default 95/100, confidence level for the confidence interval; it must
be an expression which takes a value in (0,1).
'asymptotic, default false, indicates whether it performs an exact t-test or
an asymptotic one based on the Central Limit Theorem;
valid values are true and false.
The output of function test_mean is an inference_result Maxima object
showing the following results:
'mean_estimate: the sample mean.
'conf_level: confidence level selected by the user.
'conf_interval: confidence interval for the population mean.
'method: inference procedure.
'hypotheses: null and alternative hypotheses to be tested.
'statistic: value of the sample statistic used for testing the null hypothesis.
'distribution: distribution of the sample statistic, together with its parameter(s).

Shapiro-Wilk test for normality. Argument x is a list of numbers, and sample
size must be greater than 2 and less or equal than 5000, otherwise, function
test_normality signals an error message.
Reference:
[1] Algorithm AS R94, Applied Statistics (1995), vol.44, no.4, 547-551
The output of function test_normality is an inference_result Maxima object
with the following results:
'statistic: value of the W statistic.
'p_value: p-value under normal assumption.
Examples:
Checks for the normality of a population, based on a sample of size 9.

Multivariate linear regression, y_i = b0 + b1*x_1i + b2*x_2i + ... + bk*x_ki + u_i, where u_i are N(0,sigma) independent random variables. Argument x must be a matrix with more than one column. The last column is considered as the responses (y_i).
Option:
'conflevel, default 95/100, confidence level for the
confidence intervals; it must be an expression which takes a value
in (0,1).
The output of function linear_regression is an
inference_result Maxima object with the following results:
'b_estimation: regression coefficients estimates.
'b_covariances: covariance matrix of the regression
coefficients estimates.
b_conf_int: confidence intervals of the regression coefficients.
b_statistics: statistics for testing coefficient.
b_p_values: p-values for coefficient tests.
b_distribution: probability distribution for coefficient tests.
v_estimation: unbiased variance estimator.
v_conf_int: variance confidence interval.
v_distribution: probability distribution for variance test.
residuals: residuals.
adc: adjusted determination coefficient.
aic: Akaike’s information criterion.
bic: Bayes’s information criterion.
Only items 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 above, in this order,
are shown by default. The rest remain hidden until the user
makes use of functions items_inference and take_inference.
Example:
Fitting a linear model to a trivariate sample. The last column is considered as the responses (y_i).
