Lite::Statistics
Lite::Statistics is a library for generate statistics from collections of data points.
Installation

gem 'lite-statistics'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install lite-statistics
Table of Contents
Configurations
rails g lite:statistics:install
will generate the following file:
../config/initalizers/lite_statistics.rb
Lite::Statistics.configure do |config|
config.monkey_patches = true
end
Descriptive
Sample|Population calculations will have a shorthand alias that defaults to sample.
Ex: variance
=> sample_variance
Summary
Count
Distribution
Central tendency
Dispersion
- Midrange aka Midextreme
- Range
- Percentile from Value aka Percentile
- Value from Percentile aka Percentile Rank
Spread
- Sample|Population Variance
- Sample|Population Standard Deviation
- Sample|Population Coefficient of Variation
- Sample|Population Standard Error
- Sample|Population Z-Scores
Shape
Monkey patches
Including monkey patches will give you Enumerable
access to statistics.

Benchmarks
All benchmarks are executed using the baseline summary (exact same calculations for each)
and the full summary (all available calculations for each). Each is generated
using an array containing 1 million random integers on the 2.6.3
Ruby version.
View how each compares to other libs by running the benchmarks.
Baseline summaries
Library | # of Calculations | IPS | Speed |
---|---|---|---|
lite-statistics | 13 | 2.5 i/s | --- |
descriptive_statistics | 13 | 0.6 i/s | 4.16x slower |
descriptive-statistics | 13 | 1.8 i/s | 1.40x slower |
statistica | 13 | --- | Too slow to run |
Full summaries
Library | # of Calculations | IPS | Speed |
---|---|---|---|
lite-statistics | 22 | 1.0 i/s | --- |
descriptive_statistics | 13 | 0.6 i/s | 1.72x slower |
descriptive-statistics | 16 | 0.9 i/s | 1.10x slower |
statistica | 19 | --- | Too slow to run |
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
