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

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)

Pearson相关性可以用numpy的corrcoef来计算。

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

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)

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)
