我正在寻找一个函数,它将两个列表作为输入,并返回Pearson相关性,以及相关性的重要性。


你可以看看scipy.stats:

from pydoc import help
from scipy.stats.stats import pearsonr
help(pearsonr)

Help on function pearsonr in module scipy.stats.stats:

pearsonr(x, y)
 Calculates a Pearson correlation coefficient and the p-value for testing
 non-correlation.

 The Pearson correlation coefficient measures the linear relationship
 between two datasets. Strictly speaking, Pearson's correlation requires
 that each dataset be normally distributed. Like other correlation
 coefficients, this one varies between -1 and +1 with 0 implying no
 correlation. Correlations of -1 or +1 imply an exact linear
 relationship. Positive correlations imply that as x increases, so does
 y. Negative correlations imply that as x increases, y decreases.

 The p-value roughly indicates the probability of an uncorrelated system
 producing datasets that have a Pearson correlation at least as extreme
 as the one computed from these datasets. The p-values are not entirely
 reliable but are probably reasonable for datasets larger than 500 or so.

 Parameters
 ----------
 x : 1D array
 y : 1D array the same length as x

 Returns
 -------
 (Pearson's correlation coefficient,
  2-tailed p-value)

如果你不喜欢安装scipy,我使用了这个快速的hack,稍微修改了Programming Collective Intelligence:

def pearsonr(x, y):
  # Assume len(x) == len(y)
  n = len(x)
  sum_x = float(sum(x))
  sum_y = float(sum(y))
  sum_x_sq = sum(xi*xi for xi in x)
  sum_y_sq = sum(yi*yi for yi in y)
  psum = sum(xi*yi for xi, yi in zip(x, y))
  num = psum - (sum_x * sum_y/n)
  den = pow((sum_x_sq - pow(sum_x, 2) / n) * (sum_y_sq - pow(sum_y, 2) / n), 0.5)
  if den == 0: return 0
  return num / den

下面的代码是对该定义的直接解释:

import math

def average(x):
    assert len(x) > 0
    return float(sum(x)) / len(x)

def pearson_def(x, y):
    assert len(x) == len(y)
    n = len(x)
    assert n > 0
    avg_x = average(x)
    avg_y = average(y)
    diffprod = 0
    xdiff2 = 0
    ydiff2 = 0
    for idx in range(n):
        xdiff = x[idx] - avg_x
        ydiff = y[idx] - avg_y
        diffprod += xdiff * ydiff
        xdiff2 += xdiff * xdiff
        ydiff2 += ydiff * ydiff

    return diffprod / math.sqrt(xdiff2 * ydiff2)

测试:

print pearson_def([1,2,3], [1,5,7])

返回

0.981980506062

这与Excel,这个计算器,SciPy(也是NumPy)一致,分别返回0.981980506和0.9819805060619657,和0.98198050606196574。

R:

> cor( c(1,2,3), c(1,5,7))
[1] 0.9819805

编辑:修正了一个由评论者指出的错误。


您可能想知道如何在寻找特定方向的相关性(负相关或正相关)的上下文中解释您的概率。这是我写的一个函数。它甚至可能是正确的!

这是基于我从http://www.vassarstats.net/rsig.html和http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t_distribution上收集到的信息,感谢这里发布的其他答案。

# Given (possibly random) variables, X and Y, and a correlation direction,

def probabilityNotCorrelated(X, Y, direction=0):
    x = len(X)
    if x != len(Y):
        raise ValueError("variables not same len: " + str(x) + ", and " + \
                         str(len(Y)))
    if x < 6:
        raise ValueError("must have at least 6 samples, but have " + str(x))
    (corr, prb_2_tail) = stats.pearsonr(X, Y)

    if not direction:
        return (corr, prb_2_tail)

    prb_1_tail = prb_2_tail / 2
    if corr * direction > 0:
        return (corr, prb_1_tail)

    return (corr, 1 - prb_1_tail)

Pearson相关性可以用numpy的corrcoef来计算。

import numpy
numpy.corrcoef(list1, list2)[0, 1]

与其依赖numpy/scipy,我认为我的答案应该是最容易编码和理解计算Pearson相关系数(PCC)的步骤。

import math

# calculates the mean
def mean(x):
    sum = 0.0
    for i in x:
         sum += i
    return sum / len(x) 

# calculates the sample standard deviation
def sampleStandardDeviation(x):
    sumv = 0.0
    for i in x:
         sumv += (i - mean(x))**2
    return math.sqrt(sumv/(len(x)-1))

# calculates the PCC using both the 2 functions above
def pearson(x,y):
    scorex = []
    scorey = []

    for i in x: 
        scorex.append((i - mean(x))/sampleStandardDeviation(x)) 

    for j in y:
        scorey.append((j - mean(y))/sampleStandardDeviation(y))

# multiplies both lists together into 1 list (hence zip) and sums the whole list   
    return (sum([i*j for i,j in zip(scorex,scorey)]))/(len(x)-1)

PCC的意义基本上是向你展示两个变量/列表的相关性有多强。 需要注意的是,PCC值的范围是-1到1。 0到1之间的值表示正相关。 0值=最高变异(没有任何相关性)。 -1到0之间的值表示负相关。


本文给出了一种基于稀疏向量的pearson相关的实现方法。这里的向量表示为(index, value)表示的元组列表。两个稀疏向量可以是不同的长度,但总的向量大小必须是相同的。这对于文本挖掘应用程序非常有用,其中向量大小非常大,因为大多数特征都是单词包,因此通常使用稀疏向量执行计算。

def get_pearson_corelation(self, first_feature_vector=[], second_feature_vector=[], length_of_featureset=0):
    indexed_feature_dict = {}
    if first_feature_vector == [] or second_feature_vector == [] or length_of_featureset == 0:
        raise ValueError("Empty feature vectors or zero length of featureset in get_pearson_corelation")

    sum_a = sum(value for index, value in first_feature_vector)
    sum_b = sum(value for index, value in second_feature_vector)

    avg_a = float(sum_a) / length_of_featureset
    avg_b = float(sum_b) / length_of_featureset

    mean_sq_error_a = sqrt((sum((value - avg_a) ** 2 for index, value in first_feature_vector)) + ((
        length_of_featureset - len(first_feature_vector)) * ((0 - avg_a) ** 2)))
    mean_sq_error_b = sqrt((sum((value - avg_b) ** 2 for index, value in second_feature_vector)) + ((
        length_of_featureset - len(second_feature_vector)) * ((0 - avg_b) ** 2)))

    covariance_a_b = 0

    #calculate covariance for the sparse vectors
    for tuple in first_feature_vector:
        if len(tuple) != 2:
            raise ValueError("Invalid feature frequency tuple in featureVector: %s") % (tuple,)
        indexed_feature_dict[tuple[0]] = tuple[1]
    count_of_features = 0
    for tuple in second_feature_vector:
        count_of_features += 1
        if len(tuple) != 2:
            raise ValueError("Invalid feature frequency tuple in featureVector: %s") % (tuple,)
        if tuple[0] in indexed_feature_dict:
            covariance_a_b += ((indexed_feature_dict[tuple[0]] - avg_a) * (tuple[1] - avg_b))
            del (indexed_feature_dict[tuple[0]])
        else:
            covariance_a_b += (0 - avg_a) * (tuple[1] - avg_b)

    for index in indexed_feature_dict:
        count_of_features += 1
        covariance_a_b += (indexed_feature_dict[index] - avg_a) * (0 - avg_b)

    #adjust covariance with rest of vector with 0 value
    covariance_a_b += (length_of_featureset - count_of_features) * -avg_a * -avg_b

    if mean_sq_error_a == 0 or mean_sq_error_b == 0:
        return -1
    else:
        return float(covariance_a_b) / (mean_sq_error_a * mean_sq_error_b)

单元测试:

def test_get_get_pearson_corelation(self):
    vector_a = [(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)]
    vector_b = [(1, 1), (2, 5), (3, 7)]
    self.assertAlmostEquals(self.sim_calculator.get_pearson_corelation(vector_a, vector_b, 3), 0.981980506062, 3, None, None)

    vector_a = [(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)]
    vector_b = [(1, 1), (2, 5), (3, 7), (4, 14)]
    self.assertAlmostEquals(self.sim_calculator.get_pearson_corelation(vector_a, vector_b, 5), -0.0137089240555, 3, None, None)

嗯,很多回复的代码都很长,很难读…

我建议在处理数组时使用numpy及其漂亮的特性:

import numpy as np
def pcc(X, Y):
   ''' Compute Pearson Correlation Coefficient. '''
   # Normalise X and Y
   X -= X.mean(0)
   Y -= Y.mean(0)
   # Standardise X and Y
   X /= X.std(0)
   Y /= Y.std(0)
   # Compute mean product
   return np.mean(X*Y)

# Using it on a random example
from random import random
X = np.array([random() for x in xrange(100)])
Y = np.array([random() for x in xrange(100)])
pcc(X, Y)

这是使用numpy的Pearson Correlation函数的实现:


def corr(data1, data2):
    "data1 & data2 should be numpy arrays."
    mean1 = data1.mean() 
    mean2 = data2.mean()
    std1 = data1.std()
    std2 = data2.std()

#     corr = ((data1-mean1)*(data2-mean2)).mean()/(std1*std2)
    corr = ((data1*data2).mean()-mean1*mean2)/(std1*std2)
    return corr


下面是mkh答案的一个变体,比它运行得快得多,还有scipy.stats。皮尔逊,使用numba。

import numba

@numba.jit
def corr(data1, data2):
    M = data1.size

    sum1 = 0.
    sum2 = 0.
    for i in range(M):
        sum1 += data1[i]
        sum2 += data2[i]
    mean1 = sum1 / M
    mean2 = sum2 / M

    var_sum1 = 0.
    var_sum2 = 0.
    cross_sum = 0.
    for i in range(M):
        var_sum1 += (data1[i] - mean1) ** 2
        var_sum2 += (data2[i] - mean2) ** 2
        cross_sum += (data1[i] * data2[i])

    std1 = (var_sum1 / M) ** .5
    std2 = (var_sum2 / M) ** .5
    cross_mean = cross_sum / M

    return (cross_mean - mean1 * mean2) / (std1 * std2)

你可以看看这篇文章。这是一个使用pandas库(适用于Python)根据多个文件的历史外汇货币对数据计算相关性的示例,然后使用seaborn库生成热图图。

一个替代方法可以是一个来自linreturn的本地scipy函数,它计算:

斜率:回归线的斜率 截距:回归线的截距 R-value:相关系数 p值:零假设为斜率为零的假设检验的双面p值 stderr:估计的标准错误

这里有一个例子:

a = [15, 12, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 6, 5, 3]
b = [10, 25, 17, 11, 13, 17, 20, 13, 9, 15]
from scipy.stats import linregress
linregress(a, b)

会回复你:

LinregressResult(slope=0.20833333333333337, intercept=13.375, rvalue=0.14499815458068521, pvalue=0.68940144811669501, stderr=0.50261704627083648)

你可以用pandas.DataFrame这样做。相关系数:

import pandas as pd
a = [[1, 2, 3],
     [5, 6, 9],
     [5, 6, 11],
     [5, 6, 13],
     [5, 3, 13]]
df = pd.DataFrame(data=a)
df.corr()

这给了

          0         1         2
0  1.000000  0.745601  0.916579
1  0.745601  1.000000  0.544248
2  0.916579  0.544248  1.000000

def pearson(x,y):
  n=len(x)
  vals=range(n)

  sumx=sum([float(x[i]) for i in vals])
  sumy=sum([float(y[i]) for i in vals])

  sumxSq=sum([x[i]**2.0 for i in vals])
  sumySq=sum([y[i]**2.0 for i in vals])

  pSum=sum([x[i]*y[i] for i in vals])
  # Calculating Pearson correlation
  num=pSum-(sumx*sumy/n)
  den=((sumxSq-pow(sumx,2)/n)*(sumySq-pow(sumy,2)/n))**.5
  if den==0: return 0
  r=num/den
  return r

对此,我有一个非常简单易懂的解决方案。对于两个长度相等的数组,Pearson系数可以很容易地计算如下:

def manual_pearson(a,b):
"""
Accepts two arrays of equal length, and computes correlation coefficient. 
Numerator is the sum of product of (a - a_avg) and (b - b_avg), 
while denominator is the product of a_std and b_std multiplied by 
length of array. 
"""
  a_avg, b_avg = np.average(a), np.average(b)
  a_stdev, b_stdev = np.std(a), np.std(b)
  n = len(a)
  denominator = a_stdev * b_stdev * n
  numerator = np.sum(np.multiply(a-a_avg, b-b_avg))
  p_coef = numerator/denominator
  return p_coef

Pearson coefficient calculation using pandas in python: I would suggest trying this approach since your data contains lists. It will be easy to interact with your data and manipulate it from the console since you can visualise your data structure and update it as you wish. You can also export the data set and save it and add new data out of the python console for later analysis. This code is simpler and contains less lines of code. I am assuming you need a few quick lines of code to screen your data for further analysis

例子:

data = {'list 1':[2,4,6,8],'list 2':[4,16,36,64]}

import pandas as pd #To Convert your lists to pandas data frames convert your lists into pandas dataframes

df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['list 1','list 2'])

from scipy import stats # For in-built method to get PCC

pearson_coef, p_value = stats.pearsonr(df["list 1"], df["list 2"]) #define the columns to perform calculations on
print("Pearson Correlation Coefficient: ", pearson_coef, "and a P-value of:", p_value) # Results 

但是,在分析之前,你没有发布你的数据给我看数据集的大小或可能需要的转换。


从Python 3.10开始,Pearson的相关系数(statistics.correlation)可以直接在标准库中获得:

from statistics import correlation

# a = [15, 12, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 6, 5, 3]
# b = [10, 25, 17, 11, 13, 17, 20, 13, 9, 15]
correlation(a, b)
# 0.1449981545806852
