"""
|
||
|
Compute the Epps-Singleton (ES) test statistic.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Test the null hypothesis that two samples have the same underlying
|
||
|
probability distribution.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Parameters
|
||
|
----------
|
||
|
x, y : array-like
|
||
|
The two samples of observations to be tested. Input must not have more
|
||
|
than one dimension. Samples can have different lengths.
|
||
|
t : array-like, optional
|
||
|
The points (t1, ..., tn) where the empirical characteristic function is
|
||
|
to be evaluated. It should be positive distinct numbers. The default
|
||
|
value (0.4, 0.8) is proposed in [1]_. Input must not have more than
|
||
|
one dimension.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns
|
||
|
-------
|
||
|
statistic : float
|
||
|
The test statistic.
|
||
|
pvalue : float
|
||
|
The associated p-value based on the asymptotic chi2-distribution.

Notes
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
Testing whether two samples are generated by the same underlying
|
||
|
distribution is a classical question in statistics. A widely used test is
|
||
|
the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test which relies on the empirical
|
||
|
distribution function. Epps and Singleton introduce a test based on the
|
||
|
empirical characteristic function in [1]_.
|
||
|
|
||
|
One advantage of the ES test compared to the KS test is that is does
|
||
|
not assume a continuous distribution. In [1]_, the authors conclude
|
||
|
that the test also has a higher power than the KS test in many
|
||
|
examples. They recommend the use of the ES test for discrete samples as
|
||
|
well as continuous samples with at least 25 observations each, whereas
|
||
|
`anderson_ksamp` is recommended for smaller sample sizes in the
|
||
|
continuous case.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The p-value is computed from the asymptotic distribution of the test
|
||
|
statistic which follows a `chi2` distribution. If the sample size of both
|
||
|
`x` and `y` is below 25, the small sample correction proposed in [1]_ is
|
||
|
applied to the test statistic.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default values of `t` are determined in [1]_ by considering
|
||
|
various distributions and finding good values that lead to a high power
|
||
|
of the test in general. Table III in [1]_ gives the optimal values for
|
||
|
the distributions tested in that study. The values of `t` are scaled by
|
||
|
the semi-interquartile range in the implementation, see [1]_.
