相关性-衡量两个不同变量的相似性

使用皮尔逊相关

from scipy.stats import pearsonr
# final_data is the dataframe with n set of columns
pearson_correlation = final_data.corr(method='pearson')
pearson_correlation
# print correlation of n*n column

使用斯皮尔曼相关

from scipy.stats import spearmanr
# final_data is the dataframe with n set of columns
spearman_correlation = final_data.corr(method='spearman')
spearman_correlation
# print correlation of n*n column

使用Kendall相关

kendall_correlation=final_data.corr(method='kendall')
kendall_correlation

Pearson相关性可以用numpy的corrcoef来计算。

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

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。

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。

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

def correlation_score(y_true, y_pred):
    """Scores the predictions according to the competition rules. 
    
    It is assumed that the predictions are not constant.
    
    Returns the average of each sample's Pearson correlation coefficient"""
    
    y2 = y_pred.copy()
    y2 -= y2.mean(axis=0);    y2 /= y2.std(axis=0) 
    y1 = y_true.copy(); 
    y1 -= y1.mean(axis=0);    y1 /= y1.std(axis=0) 
        
    c = (y1*y2).mean().mean()# Correlation for rescaled matrices is just matrix product and average 
        
    return c
