TestResult

class TestResult(*args)

Test result data structure.

Warning

Tests results are not intended to be created manually. They are returned by the statistical tests implemented in the stattests subpackage. Constructor is therefore intentionally not documented.

Notes

The p-value of a test can be seen as the probability of observing a sample having a worst or equal statistic than the one that has been calculated on the tested sample, under the null hypothesis. This is the metric that is used for concluding the test with respect to the given accepted risk of committing a Type I error, that is an incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> distribution = ot.Normal()
>>> sample = distribution.getSample(30)
>>> dist, test_result = ot.FittingTest.Lilliefors(sample, ot.NormalFactory(), 0.01)
>>> print(test_result.getPValue())
0.4956...
>>> print(test_result.getThreshold())
0.01...
>>> print(test_result.getBinaryQualityMeasure())
True

getId()

Accessor to the object’s id.

Returns:

idint

Internal unique identifier.

getName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns:

namestr

The name of the object.

getPValue()
