iid-tests

https://www.npmjs.com/package/iid-tests

A script to run eleven* statistical tests which will determine whether a collection of random variables are independent and identically distributed (IID). These tests are specified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in NIST Special Publication 800-90B.

This tool is intended to be ran from the CLI using npx and utilises multiple threads (if available) by default.

* Due to a memory leak issue with zlib, the compression test has been commented out and so this package will only run ten tests.

Usage

Run the tests on a file containing (ideally) 1,000,000+ numbers separated by commas.

Usage: npx iid-tests -f [file]

Options:
  -f, --file         Load a file containing a comma-separated sequential dataset
                     of numbers                              [string] [required]
  -m, --multithread  Use all threads available to run the tests; this will
                     override any value set by the -t --threads option [boolean]
  -o, --original     Show results of the individual statistical tests on the
                     original dataset                                  [boolean]
  -r, --results      Show overall results for each statistical test    [boolean]
  -t, --threads      Specify number of CPU threads you wish to use to run the
                     tests; default is half the CPU's thread count      [number]
  -h, --help         Show help                                         [boolean]
  -v, --version      Show version number                               [boolean]

Examples

Typical

$ npx iid-tests -f test.csv
Using 6 / 12 threads.
Given dataset size is 29,030.
A sample containing less than 1,000,000 numbers may give inaccurate results.
10,000 / 10,000 arrays completed
Time taken to complete permutation tests: 44.191s
The data cannot be assumed to be independent or identically distributed.

With tabular results (singlethreaded)

$ npx iid-tests -f test.csv -r -t 1
Using 1 / 12 threads.
Given dataset size is 963,147.
A sample containing less than 1,000,000 numbers may give inaccurate results.
10,000 / 10,000 arrays completed
