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

Miller´s All-Pairs Comparisons Test for Unreplicated Blocked Data. The p-values are computed from the chi-square distribution [1], [2], [3].

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 (strings).

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

  • 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.

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

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

Returns:

result – P values.

Return type:

pandas.DataFrame

Notes

For all-pairs comparisons in a two factorial unreplicated complete block design with non-normally distributed residuals, Miller’s test can be performed on Friedman-type ranked data.
