DescribeStatisticalDesign

Describe the statistical design for the given data.

This will imbue the data with a description of the stats design, in the form of a meta-data annotation. The node itself does not perform any computation, but subsequent nodes, such as MANCOVA or GroupedMean will utilize the design description, if present. The design is expressed in a statistical formula (see below URL for more info), in which one can name the independent variables that shall be considered, as well as any interations, and whether an intercept shall be included. Formerly called Bake Design Matrix. More Info... Version 1.0.0

Ports/Properties

data

Table of independent variables.

  • verbose name: Data
  • default value: None
  • port type: DataPort
  • value type: Packet (can be None)
  • data direction: INOUT

design

Override design specification. This is a formula known from R or patsy that allows one to respecify the design matrix given the available factors and covariates. If not given, the result is the concatenation of an intercept, a treatment encoding for each factor, and the covariates.

  • verbose name: Design
  • default value: None
  • port type: StringPort
  • value type: str (can be None)

include_intercept

Include an intercept term. Ignored if design is given explicitly.

  • verbose name: Include Intercept
  • default value: True
  • port type: BoolPort
  • value type: bool (can be None)

include_interactions

Include interaction terms between columns in indep. Ignored if design is given explicitly.

  • verbose name: Include Interactions
  • default value: all
  • port type: EnumPort
  • value type: str (can be None)

set_breakpoint

Set a breakpoint on this node. If this is enabled, your debugger (if one is attached) will trigger a breakpoint.

  • verbose name: Set Breakpoint (Debug Only)
  • default value: False
  • port type: BoolPort
  • value type: bool (can be None)

metadata

User-definable meta-data associated with the node. Usually reserved for technical purposes.

  • verbose name: Metadata
  • default value: {}
  • port type: DictPort
  • value type: dict (can be None)
