datasets

Module for managing sample/population data

• class DataSet: contains sample or population data

• class DataSets: base class for managing data sets

final class boring_math.probability_distributions.datasets.DataSet(*data: int | float, sample: bool = False)

Class containing sample or population data.

• all data internally stored as floats (even integer data)

• data sorted smallest to largest

• methods provided to

  • read in data from a file

  • computing data statistics

  • add or remove data

__init__(*data: int | float, sample: bool = False) → None

__weakref__

list of weak references to the object

classmethod read_data_from_file(file_name: str, sample: bool = False) → MayBe[Self]

Read in data from a text file, return a DataSet object.

The text file should

• have one number (float) per line and calculate statistics

  • if sample is true (default), calculate sample stats

  • if sample is false, calculate population stats

• blank lines and lines beginning with ‘#’ are ignored

class boring_math.probability_distributions.datasets.DataSets

Base class for managing data sets.

• data sets can be samples or populations

• methods provided to

  • add or remove data sets

  • plot data sets

• how they are related to each other is up to the user of the class

__init__() → None
