scikit_posthocs.posthoc_durbin(a: list | ndarray | DataFrame, y_col: str = None, block_col: str = None, group_col: str = None, p_adjust: str = None, melted: bool = False, sort: bool = False) DataFrame

Pairwise post hoc test for multiple comparisons of rank sums according to Durbin and Conover for a two-way balanced incomplete block design (BIBD). See references for additional information [1], [2].

Parameters:
  • a (array_like or pandas DataFrame object) –

    An array, any object exposing the array interface or a pandas DataFrame.

    If melted is set to False (default), a is a typical matrix of block design, i.e. rows are blocks, and columns are groups. In this case you do not need to specify col arguments.

    If a is an array and melted is set to True, y_col, block_col and group_col must specify the indices of columns containing elements of correspondary type.

    If a is a Pandas DataFrame and melted is set to True, y_col, block_col and group_col must specify columns names (string).

  • y_col (str or int) – Must be specified if a is a pandas DataFrame object. Name of the column that contains y data.

  • block_col (str or int) – Must be specified if a is a pandas DataFrame object. Name of the column that contains blocking factor values.

  • group_col (str or int) – Must be specified if a is a pandas DataFrame object. Name of the column that contains treatment (group) factor values.

  • melted (bool, optional) – Specifies if data are given as melted columns “y”, “blocks”, and “groups”.

  • sort (bool, optional) – If True, sort data by block and group columns.

  • p_adjust (str, optional) – Method for adjusting p values. See statsmodels.sandbox.stats.multicomp for details. Available methods are: ‘bonferroni’ : one-step correction ‘sidak’ : one-step correction ‘holm-sidak’ : step-down method using Sidak adjustments ‘holm’ : step-down method using Bonferroni adjustments ‘simes-hochberg’ : step-up method (independent) ‘hommel’ : closed method based on Simes tests (non-negative) ‘fdr_bh’ : Benjamini/Hochberg (non-negative) ‘fdr_by’ : Benjamini/Yekutieli (negative) ‘fdr_tsbh’ : two stage fdr correction (non-negative) ‘fdr_tsbky’ : two stage fdr correction (non-negative)

Returns:

result – P values.

Return type:

pandas.DataFrame
