mann_whitney_u_test_fl()

The function mann_whitney_u_test_fl() is a UDF (user-defined function) that performs the Mann-Whitney U Test.

Syntax

T | mann_whitney_u_test_fl(data1, data2, test_statistic,p_value [, use_continuity ])

Parameters

Function definition

You can define the function by either embedding its code as a query-defined function, or creating it as a stored function in your database, as follows:

Query-defined

Define the function using the following let statement. No permissions are required.

let mann_whitney_u_test_fl = (tbl:(*), data1:string, data2:string, test_statistic:string, p_value:string, use_continuity:bool=true)
{
    let kwargs = bag_pack('data1', data1, 'data2', data2, 'test_statistic', test_statistic, 'p_value', p_value, 'use_continuity', use_continuity);
    let code = ```if 1:
        from scipy import stats
        data1 = kargs["data1"]
        data2 = kargs["data2"]
        test_statistic = kargs["test_statistic"]
        p_value = kargs["p_value"]
        use_continuity = kargs["use_continuity"]
        def func(row):
            statistics = stats.mannwhitneyu(row[data1], row[data2], use_continuity=use_continuity)
            return statistics[0], statistics[1]
        result = df
        result[[test_statistic, p_value]]  = df.apply(func, axis=1, result_type = "expand")
        ```;
    tbl
    | evaluate python(typeof(*), code, kwargs)
};
// Write your query to use the function here.

Stored

Define the stored function once using the following .create function. Database User permissions are required.

.create-or-alter function with (folder = "Packages\\Stats", docstring = "Mann-Whitney U Test")
mann_whitney_u_test_fl(tbl:(*), data1:string, data2:string, test_statistic:string, p_value:string, use_continuity:bool=true)
{
    let kwargs = bag_pack('data1', data1, 'data2', data2, 'test_statistic', test_statistic, 'p_value', p_value, 'use_continuity', use_continuity);
    let code = ```if 1:
        from scipy import stats
        data1 = kargs["data1"]
        data2 = kargs["data2"]
        test_statistic = kargs["test_statistic"]
        p_value = kargs["p_value"]
        use_continuity = kargs["use_continuity"]
        def func(row):
            statistics = stats.mannwhitneyu(row[data1], row[data2], use_continuity=use_continuity)
            return statistics[0], statistics[1]
        result = df
        result[[test_statistic, p_value]]  = df.apply(func, axis=1, result_type = "expand")
        ```;
    tbl
    | evaluate python(typeof(*), code, kwargs)
}

Example

The following example uses the invoke operator to run the function.

Query-defined

To use a query-defined function, invoke it after the embedded function definition.

let mann_whitney_u_test_fl = (tbl:(*), data1:string, data2:string, test_statistic:string, p_value:string, use_continuity:bool=true)
{
    let kwargs = bag_pack('data1', data1, 'data2', data2, 'test_statistic', test_statistic, 'p_value', p_value, 'use_continuity', use_continuity);
    let code = ```if 1:
        from scipy import stats
        data1 = kargs["data1"]
        data2 = kargs["data2"]
        test_statistic = kargs["test_statistic"]
        p_value = kargs["p_value"]
        use_continuity = kargs["use_continuity"]
        def func(row):
            statistics = stats.mannwhitneyu(row[data1], row[data2], use_continuity=use_continuity)
            return statistics[0], statistics[1]
        result = df
        result[[test_statistic, p_value]]  = df.apply(func, axis=1, result_type = "expand")
        ```;
    tbl
    | evaluate python(typeof(*), code, kwargs)
};
