scikit_posthocs.posthoc_scheffe
- scikit_posthocs.posthoc_scheffe(a: list | ndarray | DataFrame, val_col: str = None, group_col: str = None, sort: bool = False) DataFrame
Scheffe’s all-pairs comparisons test for normally distributed data with equal group variances. For all-pairs comparisons in an one-factorial layout with normally distributed residuals and equal variances Scheffe’s test can be performed with parametric ANOVA [1], [2], [3].
A total of m = k(k-1)/2 hypotheses can be tested.
- Parameters:
a (Union[list, np.ndarray, DataFrame]) – An array, any object exposing the array interface or a pandas DataFrame.
val_col (str, optional) – Name of a DataFrame column that contains dependent variable values (test or response variable). Values should have a non-nominal scale. Must be specified if a is a pandas DataFrame object.
group_col (str, optional) – Name of a DataFrame column that contains independent variable values (grouping or predictor variable). Values should have a nominal scale (categorical). Must be specified if a is a pandas DataFrame object.
sort (bool, optional) – If True, sort data by block and group columns.
- Returns:
result – P values.
- Return type:
pandas.DataFrame
Notes
The p values are computed from the F-distribution.
