Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Pearson's chi-squared test for contingency tables

Readme

Pierre Bourdieu's humongous diagram about taste Wrapper for the beautiful chi-squared-test module wrapping the beautiful chi-squared module. Could be used, for example, to prove the statistical significance of the above graph 😂

Accepts input as a 2-dimensional array representing a two-way categorical (nominal) contingency table.

Returned object includes:

  • p (independence measure)
  • Cramer's V (correspondence strength)
  • degrees of freedom adjusted per Pearson's chi-squared test for independence
import pcst from 'pcstfi'
// IMPORTANT! Assumed that little to no cell counts are under 5.
// This test does not produce reliable values with extremely small cell counts (or as a rule of thumb, with small total samples)
// Todo: implement warning about this as in R package

var the_pee_value = pcst([[10,20,30][10,20,30][10,20,30]])
/*
{
    /* Helpers */
	this.colSums = []; // Column sums
	this.rowSums = []; // Row sums
	this.total; // Table sum
	this.contingencyArray = []; // Contingency table as 2D array
    this.expArray = []; // 2D Array of "expected frequencies", e.g. typical frequencies assuming distribution is normal
	this.degf; // Degrees of Freedom (DoF)
    this.degfdelta; // Abstracted for convenience: Number that must be reduced from the DoF of a 1D vector to get the actual DoF of a 2D table.

    // Strength measure. Cramer's V, e.g. the Chi-squared statistic normalized between 0 and 1.
    // How to read:
    //  - Under 0.015: Very little association.
    //  - Between 0.015 and 0.5: Mild to strong association.
    //  - Over 0.5: Redundant. The variables measure the same thing.
    this.cramersV; 

    // Independence measure. The p-value of Pearson's chi-squared test for independency
    // How to read:
    //  - Under 0.05: Statistically significant, table is not random
    //  - Over 0.05: No statistically significant conclusions can be drawn from the table
