A collection of basic statistical functions for Python.  The function
names appear below.

 Some scalar functions defined here are also available in the scipy.special
 package where they work on arbitrary sized arrays.

Disclaimers:  The function list is obviously incomplete and, worse, the
functions are not optimized.  All functions have been tested (some more
so than others), but they are far from bulletproof.  Thus, as with any
free software, no warranty or guarantee is expressed or implied. :-)  A
few extra functions that don't appear in the list below can be found by
interested treasure-hunters.  These functions don't necessarily have
both list and array versions but were deemed useful.

def moment(a, moment=1, axis=0, nan_policy='propagate'):
    r"""
    Calculate the nth moment about the mean for a sample.

    A moment is a specific quantitative measure of the shape of a set of
    points. It is often used to calculate coefficients of skewness and kurtosis
    due to its close relationship with them.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
       Input array.
    moment : int or array_like of ints, optional
       Order of central moment that is returned. Default is 1.
    axis : int or None, optional
       Axis along which the central moment is computed. Default is 0.
       If None, compute over the whole array `a`.
    nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
        Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
        The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):

          * 'propagate': returns nan
          * 'raise': throws an error
          * 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values

    Returns
    -------
    n-th central moment : ndarray or float
       The appropriate moment along the given axis or over all values if axis
       is None. The denominator for the moment calculation is the number of
       observations, no degrees of freedom correction is done.

    See Also
    --------

    Notes
    -----
    The k-th central moment of a data sample is:

    Examples
    --------
    In Fisher's definiton, the kurtosis of the normal distribution is zero.
    In the following example, the kurtosis is close to zero, because it was

    The distribution with a higher kurtosis has a heavier tail.

    Notes
    -----
    This function will become obsolete in the future.
    For NumPy 1.9 and higher, `numpy.percentile` provides all the functionality
    that `scoreatpercentile` provides.  And it's significantly faster.
    Therefore it's recommended to use `numpy.percentile` for users that have
    numpy >= 1.9.

def percentileofscore(a, score, kind='rank'):
    """
    Compute the percentile rank of a score relative to a list of scores.

    A `percentileofscore` of, for example, 80% means that 80% of the
    scores in `a` are below the given score. In the case of gaps or
    ties, the exact definition depends on the optional keyword, `kind`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Array of scores to which `score` is compared.
    score : int or float
        Score that is compared to the elements in `a`.
    kind : {'rank', 'weak', 'strict', 'mean'}, optional
        Specifies the interpretation of the resulting score.
        The following options are available (default is 'rank'):

          * 'rank': Average percentage ranking of score.  In case of multiple
            matches, average the percentage rankings of all matching scores.
          * 'weak': This kind corresponds to the definition of a cumulative
            distribution function.  A percentileofscore of 80% means that 80%
            of values are less than or equal to the provided score.
          * 'strict': Similar to "weak", except that only values that are
            strictly less than the given score are counted.
          * 'mean': The average of the "weak" and "strict" scores, often used
            in testing.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile_rank

    Calculate the geometric standard deviation of an array.

    The geometric standard deviation describes the spread of a set of numbers
    where the geometric mean is preferred. It is a multiplicative factor, and
    so a dimensionless quantity.

    It is defined as the exponent of the standard deviation of ``log(a)``.
    Mathematically the population geometric standard deviation can be
    evaluated as::

        gstd = exp(std(log(a)))

    .. versionadded:: 1.3.0

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        An array like object containing the sample data.
    axis : int, tuple or None, optional
        Axis along which to operate. Default is 0. If None, compute over
        the whole array `a`.
    ddof : int, optional
        Degree of freedom correction in the calculation of the
        geometric standard deviation. Default is 1.

    Returns
    -------
    ndarray or float
        An array of the geometric standard deviation. If `axis` is None or `a`
        is a 1d array a float is returned.

    Notes
    -----
    As the calculation requires the use of logarithms the geometric standard
    deviation only supports strictly positive values. Any non-positive or
    infinite values will raise a `ValueError`.
    The geometric standard deviation is sometimes confused with the exponent of
    the standard deviation, ``exp(std(a))``. Instead the geometric standard
    deviation is ``exp(std(log(a)))``.
    The default value for `ddof` is different to the default value (0) used
    by other ddof containing functions, such as ``np.std`` and ``np.nanstd``.

    Examples
    --------
    Find the geometric standard deviation of a log-normally distributed sample.
    Note that the standard deviation of the distribution is one, on a
    log scale this evaluates to approximately ``exp(1)``.

    r"""
    Compute the interquartile range of the data along the specified axis.

    The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between the 75th and
    25th percentile of the data. It is a measure of the dispersion
    similar to standard deviation or variance, but is much more robust
    against outliers [2]_.

    The ``rng`` parameter allows this function to compute other
    percentile ranges than the actual IQR. For example, setting
    ``rng=(0, 100)`` is equivalent to `numpy.ptp`.

    The IQR of an empty array is `np.nan`.

    .. versionadded:: 0.18.0

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like
        Input array or object that can be converted to an array.
    axis : int or sequence of int, optional
        Axis along which the range is computed. The default is to
        compute the IQR for the entire array.
    rng : Two-element sequence containing floats in range of [0,100] optional
        Percentiles over which to compute the range. Each must be
        between 0 and 100, inclusive. The default is the true IQR:
        `(25, 75)`. The order of the elements is not important.
    scale : scalar or str, optional
        The numerical value of scale will be divided out of the final
        result. The following string values are recognized:

          * 'raw' : No scaling, just return the raw IQR.
            **Deprecated!**  Use `scale=1` instead.
          * 'normal' : Scale by
            :math:`2 \sqrt{2} erf^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) \approx 1.349`.

        The default is 1.0. The use of scale='raw' is deprecated.
        Array-like scale is also allowed, as long
        as it broadcasts correctly to the output such that
        ``out / scale`` is a valid operation. The output dimensions
        depend on the input array, `x`, the `axis` argument, and the
        `keepdims` flag.
    nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
        Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
        The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):

          * 'propagate': returns nan
          * 'raise': throws an error
          * 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
    interpolation : {'linear', 'lower', 'higher', 'midpoint', 'nearest'}, optional
        Specifies the interpolation method to use when the percentile
        boundaries lie between two data points `i` and `j`.
        The following options are available (default is 'linear'):

          * 'linear': `i + (j - i) * fraction`, where `fraction` is the
            fractional part of the index surrounded by `i` and `j`.
          * 'lower': `i`.
          * 'higher': `j`.
          * 'nearest': `i` or `j` whichever is nearest.
          * 'midpoint': `(i + j) / 2`.

    keepdims : bool, optional
        If this is set to `True`, the reduced axes are left in the
        result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result
        will broadcast correctly against the original array `x`.

    Returns
    -------
    iqr : scalar or ndarray
        If ``axis=None``, a scalar is returned. If the input contains
        integers or floats of smaller precision than ``np.float64``, then the
        output data-type is ``np.float64``. Otherwise, the output data-type is
        the same as that of the input.

    Notes
    -----
    This function is heavily dependent on the version of `numpy` that is
    installed. Versions greater than 1.11.0b3 are highly recommended, as they
    include a number of enhancements and fixes to `numpy.percentile` and
    `numpy.nanpercentile` that affect the operation of this function. The
    following modifications apply:

    Below 1.10.0 : `nan_policy` is poorly defined.
        The default behavior of `numpy.percentile` is used for 'propagate'. This
        is a hybrid of 'omit' and 'propagate' that mostly yields a skewed
        version of 'omit' since NaNs are sorted to the end of the data. A
        warning is raised if there are NaNs in the data.
    Below 1.9.0: `numpy.nanpercentile` does not exist.
        This means that `numpy.percentile` is used regardless of `nan_policy`
        and a warning is issued. See previous item for a description of the
        behavior.
    Below 1.9.0: `keepdims` and `interpolation` are not supported.
        The keywords get ignored with a warning if supplied with non-default
        values. However, multiple axes are still supported.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like
        Input array or object that can be converted to an array.
    axis : int or None, optional
        Axis along which the range is computed. Default is 0. If None, compute

    center : callable, optional
        A function that will return the central value. The default is to use
        np.median. Any user defined function used will need to have the
        function signature ``func(arr, axis)``.

        The numerical value of scale will be divided out of the final

    Returns
    -------
    mad : scalar or ndarray
        If ``axis=None``, a scalar is returned. If the input contains
        integers or floats of smaller precision than ``np.float64``, then the
        output data-type is ``np.float64``. Otherwise, the output data-type is

    Notes
    -----
    The `center` argument only affects the calculation of the central value
    around which the MAD is calculated. That is, passing in ``center=np.mean``
    will calculate the MAD around the mean - it will not calculate the *mean*
    absolute deviation.

    The input array may contain `inf`, but if `center` returns `inf`, the
    corresponding MAD for that data will be `nan`.

    r"""
Compute the median absolute deviation of the data along the given axis.

The median absolute deviation (MAD, [1]_) computes the median over the
absolute deviations from the median. It is a measure of dispersion
similar to the standard deviation but more robust to outliers [2]_.

The MAD of an empty array is ``np.nan``.

.. versionadded:: 1.3.0

Parameters
----------
x : array_like
    Input array or object that can be converted to an array.
axis : int or None, optional
    Axis along which the range is computed. Default is 0. If None, compute
    the MAD over the entire array.
center : callable, optional
    A function that will return the central value. The default is to use
    np.median. Any user defined function used will need to have the function
    signature ``func(arr, axis)``.
scale : int, optional
    The scaling factor applied to the MAD. The default scale (1.4826)
    ensures consistency with the standard deviation for normally distributed
    data.
nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
    Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
    The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):

    * 'propagate': returns nan
    * 'raise': throws an error
    * 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values

Returns
-------
mad : scalar or ndarray
    If ``axis=None``, a scalar is returned. If the input contains
    integers or floats of smaller precision than ``np.float64``, then the
    output data-type is ``np.float64``. Otherwise, the output data-type is
    the same as that of the input.

See Also
--------
numpy.std, numpy.var, numpy.median, scipy.stats.iqr, scipy.stats.tmean,
scipy.stats.tstd, scipy.stats.tvar

Notes
-----
The `center` argument only affects the calculation of the central value
around which the MAD is calculated. That is, passing in ``center=np.mean``
will calculate the MAD around the mean - it will not calculate the *mean*
absolute deviation.

Examples
--------
When comparing the behavior of `median_absolute_deviation` with ``np.std``,
the latter is affected when we change a single value of an array to have an
outlier value while the MAD hardly changes:

    Perform one-way ANOVA.

    The one-way ANOVA tests the null hypothesis that two or more groups have

    Parameters
    ----------
    sample1, sample2, ... : array_like
        The sample measurements for each group.  There must be at least
        two arguments.  If the arrays are multidimensional, then all the

    pvalue : float
        The associated p-value from the F distribution.

    Warns
    -----
    F_onewayConstantInputWarning
        Raised if each of the input arrays is constant array.
        In this case the F statistic is either infinite or isn't defined,
        so ``np.inf`` or ``np.nan`` is returned.

    F_onewayBadInputSizesWarning
        Raised if the length of any input array is 0, or if all the input
        arrays have length 1.  ``np.nan`` is returned for the F statistic
        and the p-value in these cases.

    Notes
    -----
    The ANOVA test has important assumptions that must be satisfied in order
    for the associated p-value to be valid.

    1. The samples are independent.
    2. Each sample is from a normally distributed population.
    3. The population standard deviations of the groups are all equal.  This
       property is known as homoscedasticity.

    If these assumptions are not true for a given set of data, it may still
    be possible to use the Kruskal-Wallis H-test (`scipy.stats.kruskal`)
    although with some loss of power.

    The length of each group must be at least one, and there must be at
    least one group with length greater than one.  If these conditions
    are not satisfied, a warning is generated and (``np.nan``, ``np.nan``)
    is returned.

    If each group contains constant values, and there exist at least two
    groups with different values, the function generates a warning and
    returns (``np.inf``, 0).

    If all values in all groups are the same, function generates a warning
    and returns (``np.nan``, ``np.nan``).

def pearsonr(x, y):
    r"""
    Pearson correlation coefficient and p-value for testing non-correlation.

    The Pearson correlation coefficient [1]_ measures the linear relationship
    between two datasets.  The calculation of the p-value relies on the
    assumption that each dataset is normally distributed.  (See Kowalski [3]_
    for a discussion of the effects of non-normality of the input on the
    distribution of the correlation coefficient.)  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.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : (N,) array_like
        Input array.
    y : (N,) array_like
        Input array.

    Returns
    -------
    r : float
        Pearson's correlation coefficient.
    p-value : float
        Two-tailed p-value.

    Warns
    -----
    PearsonRConstantInputWarning
        Raised if an input is a constant array.  The correlation coefficient
        is not defined in this case, so ``np.nan`` is returned.

    PearsonRNearConstantInputWarning
        Raised if an input is "nearly" constant.  The array ``x`` is considered
        nearly constant if ``norm(x - mean(x)) < 1e-13 * abs(mean(x))``.
        Numerical errors in the calculation ``x - mean(x)`` in this case might
        result in an inaccurate calculation of r.

    See Also
    --------
    spearmanr : Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient.
    kendalltau : Kendall's tau, a correlation measure for ordinal data.

    Notes
    -----
    The correlation coefficient is calculated as follows:

    .. math::

        r = \frac{\sum (x - m_x) (y - m_y)}
                 {\sqrt{\sum (x - m_x)^2 \sum (y - m_y)^2}}

    where :math:`m_x` is the mean of the vector :math:`x` and :math:`m_y` is
    the mean of the vector :math:`y`.

    Under the assumption that x and y are drawn from independent normal
    distributions (so the population correlation coefficient is 0), the
    probability density function of the sample correlation coefficient r
    is ([1]_, [2]_)::

               (1 - r**2)**(n/2 - 2)
        f(r) = ---------------------
                  B(1/2, n/2 - 1)

    where n is the number of samples, and B is the beta function.  This
    is sometimes referred to as the exact distribution of r.  This is
    the distribution that is used in `pearsonr` to compute the p-value.
    The distribution is a beta distribution on the interval [-1, 1],
    with equal shape parameters a = b = n/2 - 1.  In terms of SciPy's
    implementation of the beta distribution, the distribution of r is::

        dist = scipy.stats.beta(n/2 - 1, n/2 - 1, loc=-1, scale=2)

    The p-value returned by `pearsonr` is a two-sided p-value.  For a
    given sample with correlation coefficient r, the p-value is
    the probability that abs(r') of a random sample x' and y' drawn from
    the population with zero correlation would be greater than or equal
    to abs(r).  In terms of the object ``dist`` shown above, the p-value
    for a given r and length n can be computed as::

        p = 2*dist.cdf(-abs(r))

    When n is 2, the above continuous distribution is not well-defined.
    One can interpret the limit of the beta distribution as the shape
    parameters a and b approach a = b = 0 as a discrete distribution with
    equal probability masses at r = 1 and r = -1.  More directly, one
    can observe that, given the data x = [x1, x2] and y = [y1, y2], and
    assuming x1 != x2 and y1 != y2, the only possible values for r are 1
    and -1.  Because abs(r') for any sample x' and y' with length 2 will
    be 1, the two-sided p-value for a sample of length 2 is always 1.

    Notes
    -----
    The calculated odds ratio is different from the one R uses. This scipy
    implementation returns the (more common) "unconditional Maximum
    Likelihood Estimate", while R uses the "conditional Maximum Likelihood
    Estimate".

    For tables with large numbers, the (inexact) chi-square test implemented
    in the function `chi2_contingency` can also be used.

    Examples
    --------
    Say we spend a few days counting whales and sharks in the Atlantic and
    Indian oceans. In the Atlantic ocean we find 8 whales and 1 shark, in the
    Indian ocean 2 whales and 5 sharks. Then our contingency table is::

                Atlantic  Indian
        whales     8        2
        sharks     1        5

    We use this table to find the p-value:

    >>> import scipy.stats as stats
    >>> oddsratio, pvalue = stats.fisher_exact([[8, 2], [1, 5]])
    >>> pvalue
    0.0349...

    The probability that we would observe this or an even more imbalanced ratio
    by chance is about 3.5%.  A commonly used significance level is 5%--if we
    adopt that, we can therefore conclude that our observed imbalance is
    statistically significant; whales prefer the Atlantic while sharks prefer
    the Indian ocean.

def spearmanr(a, b=None, axis=0, nan_policy='propagate'):
    """
    Calculate a Spearman correlation coefficient with associated p-value.

    The Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient is a nonparametric measure
    of the monotonicity of the relationship between two datasets. Unlike the
    Pearson correlation, the Spearman correlation does not assume that both
    datasets are 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 monotonic 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 Spearman 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
    ----------
    a, b : 1D or 2D array_like, b is optional
        One or two 1-D or 2-D arrays containing multiple variables and
        observations. When these are 1-D, each represents a vector of
        observations of a single variable. For the behavior in the 2-D case,
        see under ``axis``, below.
        Both arrays need to have the same length in the ``axis`` dimension.
    axis : int or None, optional
        If axis=0 (default), then each column represents a variable, with
        observations in the rows. If axis=1, the relationship is transposed:
        each row represents a variable, while the columns contain observations.
        If axis=None, then both arrays will be raveled.
    nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
        Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
        The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):

          * 'propagate': returns nan
          * 'raise': throws an error
          * 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values

    Returns
    -------
    correlation : float or ndarray (2-D square)
        Spearman correlation matrix or correlation coefficient (if only 2
        variables are given as parameters. Correlation matrix is square with
        length equal to total number of variables (columns or rows) in ``a``
        and ``b`` combined.
    pvalue : float
        The two-sided p-value for a hypothesis test whose null hypothesis is
        that two sets of data are uncorrelated, has same dimension as rho.

def pointbiserialr(x, y):
    r"""
    Calculate a point biserial correlation coefficient and its p-value.

    The point biserial correlation is used to measure the relationship
    between a binary variable, x, and a continuous variable, y. Like other
    correlation coefficients, this one varies between -1 and +1 with 0
    implying no correlation. Correlations of -1 or +1 imply a determinative
    relationship.

    This function uses a shortcut formula but produces the same result as
    `pearsonr`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like of bools
        Input array.
    y : array_like
        Input array.

    Returns
    -------
    correlation : float
        R value.
    pvalue : float
        Two-sided p-value.

    Notes
    -----
    `pointbiserialr` uses a t-test with ``n-1`` degrees of freedom.
    It is equivalent to `pearsonr.`

    The value of the point-biserial correlation can be calculated from:

    .. math::

        r_{pb} = \frac{\overline{Y_{1}} -
                 \overline{Y_{0}}}{s_{y}}\sqrt{\frac{N_{1} N_{2}}{N (N - 1))}}

    Where :math:`Y_{0}` and :math:`Y_{1}` are means of the metric
    observations coded 0 and 1 respectively; :math:`N_{0}` and :math:`N_{1}`
    are number of observations coded 0 and 1 respectively; :math:`N` is the
    total number of observations and :math:`s_{y}` is the standard
    deviation of all the metric observations.

    A value of :math:`r_{pb}` that is significantly different from zero is
    completely equivalent to a significant difference in means between the two
    groups. Thus, an independent groups t Test with :math:`N-2` degrees of
    freedom may be used to test whether :math:`r_{pb}` is nonzero. The
    relation between the t-statistic for comparing two independent groups and
    :math:`r_{pb}` is given by:

    .. math::

        t = \sqrt{N - 2}\frac{r_{pb}}{\sqrt{1 - r^{2}_{pb}}}

    """
    Calculate Kendall's tau, a correlation measure for ordinal data.

    Kendall's tau is a measure of the correspondence between two rankings.
    Values close to 1 indicate strong agreement, values close to -1 indicate
    strong disagreement.  This is the 1945 "tau-b" version of Kendall's
    tau [2]_, which can account for ties and which reduces to the 1938 "tau-a"
    version [1]_ in absence of ties.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x, y : array_like
        Arrays of rankings, of the same shape. If arrays are not 1-D, they will
        be flattened to 1-D.
    initial_lexsort : bool, optional
        Unused (deprecated).
    nan_policy : {'propagate', 'raise', 'omit'}, optional
        Defines how to handle when input contains nan.
        The following options are available (default is 'propagate'):

          * 'propagate': returns nan
          * 'raise': throws an error
          * 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values
    method : {'auto', 'asymptotic', 'exact'}, optional
        Defines which method is used to calculate the p-value [5]_.
        The following options are available (default is 'auto'):

          * 'auto': selects the appropriate method based on a trade-off between
            speed and accuracy
          * 'asymptotic': uses a normal approximation valid for large samples
          * 'exact': computes the exact p-value, but can only be used if no ties
            are present

    Returns
    -------
    correlation : float
       The tau statistic.
    pvalue : float
       The two-sided p-value for a hypothesis test whose null hypothesis is
       an absence of association, tau = 0.

    Notes
    -----
    The definition of Kendall's tau that is used is [2]_::

      tau = (P - Q) / sqrt((P + Q + T) * (P + Q + U))

    where P is the number of concordant pairs, Q the number of discordant
    pairs, T the number of ties only in `x`, and U the number of ties only in
    `y`.  If a tie occurs for the same pair in both `x` and `y`, it is not
    added to either T or U.

def weightedtau(x, y, rank=True, weigher=None, additive=True):
    r"""
    Compute a weighted version of Kendall's :math:`\tau`.

    The weighted :math:`\tau` is a weighted version of Kendall's
    :math:`\tau` in which exchanges of high weight are more influential than
    exchanges of low weight. The default parameters compute the additive
    hyperbolic version of the index, :math:`\tau_\mathrm h`, which has
    been shown to provide the best balance between important and
    unimportant elements [1]_.

    The weighting is defined by means of a rank array, which assigns a
    nonnegative rank to each element, and a weigher function, which
    assigns a weight based from the rank to each element. The weight of an
    exchange is then the sum or the product of the weights of the ranks of
    the exchanged elements. The default parameters compute
    :math:`\tau_\mathrm h`: an exchange between elements with rank
    :math:`r` and :math:`s` (starting from zero) has weight
    :math:`1/(r+1) + 1/(s+1)`.

    Specifying a rank array is meaningful only if you have in mind an
    external criterion of importance. If, as it usually happens, you do
    not have in mind a specific rank, the weighted :math:`\tau` is
    defined by averaging the values obtained using the decreasing
    lexicographical rank by (`x`, `y`) and by (`y`, `x`). This is the
    behavior with default parameters.

    Note that if you are computing the weighted :math:`\tau` on arrays of
    ranks, rather than of scores (i.e., a larger value implies a lower
    rank) you must negate the ranks, so that elements of higher rank are
    associated with a larger value.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x, y : array_like
        Arrays of scores, of the same shape. If arrays are not 1-D, they will
        be flattened to 1-D.
    rank : array_like of ints or bool, optional
        A nonnegative rank assigned to each element. If it is None, the
        decreasing lexicographical rank by (`x`, `y`) will be used: elements of
        higher rank will be those with larger `x`-values, using `y`-values to
        break ties (in particular, swapping `x` and `y` will give a different
        result). If it is False, the element indices will be used
        directly as ranks. The default is True, in which case this
        function returns the average of the values obtained using the
        decreasing lexicographical rank by (`x`, `y`) and by (`y`, `x`).
    weigher : callable, optional
        The weigher function. Must map nonnegative integers (zero
        representing the most important element) to a nonnegative weight.
        The default, None, provides hyperbolic weighing, that is,
        rank :math:`r` is mapped to weight :math:`1/(r+1)`.
    additive : bool, optional
        If True, the weight of an exchange is computed by adding the
        weights of the ranks of the exchanged elements; otherwise, the weights
        are multiplied. The default is True.

    Returns
    -------
    correlation : float
       The weighted :math:`\tau` correlation index.
    pvalue : float
       Presently ``np.nan``, as the null statistics is unknown (even in the
       additive hyperbolic case).

    Notes
    -----
    This function uses an :math:`O(n \log n)`, mergesort-based algorithm
    [1]_ that is a weighted extension of Knight's algorithm for Kendall's
    :math:`\tau` [2]_. It can compute Shieh's weighted :math:`\tau` [3]_
    between rankings without ties (i.e., permutations) by setting
    `additive` and `rank` to False, as the definition given in [1]_ is a
    generalization of Shieh's.

    NaNs are considered the smallest possible score.

    Computes the Multiscale Graph Correlation (MGC) test statistic.

    Specifically, for each point, MGC finds the :math:`k`-nearest neighbors for
    one property (e.g. cloud density), and the :math:`l`-nearest neighbors for
    the other property (e.g. grass wetness) [1]_. This pair :math:`(k, l)` is
    called the "scale". A priori, however, it is not know which scales will be
    most informative. So, MGC computes all distance pairs, and then efficiently
    computes the distance correlations for all scales. The local correlations
    illustrate which scales are relatively informative about the relationship.
    The key, therefore, to successfully discover and decipher relationships
    between disparate data modalities is to adaptively determine which scales
    are the most informative, and the geometric implication for the most
    informative scales. Doing so not only provides an estimate of whether the
    modalities are related, but also provides insight into how the
    determination was made. This is especially important in high-dimensional
    data, where simple visualizations do not reveal relationships to the
    unaided human eye. Characterizations of this implementation in particular
    have been derived from and benchmarked within in [2]_.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x, y : ndarray
        If ``x`` and ``y`` have shapes ``(n, p)`` and ``(n, q)`` where `n` is
        the number of samples and `p` and `q` are the number of dimensions,
        then the MGC independence test will be run.  Alternatively, ``x`` and
        ``y`` can have shapes ``(n, n)`` if they are distance or similarity
        matrices, and ``compute_distance`` must be sent to ``None``. If ``x``
        and ``y`` have shapes ``(n, p)`` and ``(m, p)``, an unpaired
        two-sample MGC test will be run.
    compute_distance : callable, optional
        A function that computes the distance or similarity among the samples
        within each data matrix. Set to ``None`` if ``x`` and ``y`` are
        already distance matrices. The default uses the euclidean norm metric.
        If you are calling a custom function, either create the distance
        matrix before-hand or create a function of the form
        ``compute_distance(x)`` where `x` is the data matrix for which
        pairwise distances are calculated.
    reps : int, optional
        The number of replications used to estimate the null when using the
        permutation test. The default is ``1000``.
    workers : int or map-like callable, optional
        If ``workers`` is an int the population is subdivided into ``workers``
        sections and evaluated in parallel (uses ``multiprocessing.Pool
        <multiprocessing>``). Supply ``-1`` to use all cores available to the
        Process. Alternatively supply a map-like callable, such as
        ``multiprocessing.Pool.map`` for evaluating the p-value in parallel.
        This evaluation is carried out as ``workers(func, iterable)``.
        Requires that `func` be pickleable. The default is ``1``.
    is_twosamp : bool, optional
        If `True`, a two sample test will be run. If ``x`` and ``y`` have
        shapes ``(n, p)`` and ``(m, p)``, this optional will be overriden and
        set to ``True``. Set to ``True`` if ``x`` and ``y`` both have shapes
        ``(n, p)`` and a two sample test is desired. The default is ``False``.
    random_state : int or np.random.RandomState instance, optional
        If already a RandomState instance, use it.
        If seed is an int, return a new RandomState instance seeded with seed.
        If None, use np.random.RandomState. Default is None.

    Returns
    -------
    stat : float
        The sample MGC test statistic within `[-1, 1]`.
    pvalue : float
        The p-value obtained via permutation.
    mgc_dict : dict
        Contains additional useful additional returns containing the following
        keys:

                A 2D representation of the latent geometry of the relationship.
                of the relationship.
            - opt_scale : (int, int)
                The estimated optimal scale as a `(x, y)` pair.
            - null_dist : list
                The null distribution derived from the permuted matrices

    Notes
    -----
    A description of the process of MGC and applications on neuroscience data
    can be found in [1]_. It is performed using the following steps:

    #. Two distance matrices :math:`D^X` and :math:`D^Y` are computed and
       modified to be mean zero columnwise. This results in two
       :math:`n \times n` distance matrices :math:`A` and :math:`B` (the
       centering and unbiased modification) [3]_.

    #. For all values :math:`k` and :math:`l` from :math:`1, ..., n`,

       * The :math:`k`-nearest neighbor and :math:`l`-nearest neighbor graphs
         are calculated for each property. Here, :math:`G_k (i, j)` indicates
         the :math:`k`-smallest values of the :math:`i`-th row of :math:`A`
         and :math:`H_l (i, j)` indicates the :math:`l` smallested values of
         the :math:`i`-th row of :math:`B`

       * Let :math:`\circ` denotes the entry-wise matrix product, then local
         correlations are summed and normalized using the following statistic:

    .. math::

        c^{kl} = \frac{\sum_{ij} A G_k B H_l}
                      {\sqrt{\sum_{ij} A^2 G_k \times \sum_{ij} B^2 H_l}}

    #. The MGC test statistic is the smoothed optimal local correlation of
       :math:`\{ c^{kl} \}`. Denote the smoothing operation as :math:`R(\cdot)`
       (which essentially set all isolated large correlations) as 0 and
       connected large correlations the same as before, see [3]_.) MGC is,

    .. math::

        MGC_n (x, y) = \max_{(k, l)} R \left(c^{kl} \left( x_n, y_n \right)
                                                    \right)

    The test statistic returns a value between :math:`(-1, 1)` since it is
    normalized.

    The p-value returned is calculated using a permutation test. This process
    is completed by first randomly permuting :math:`y` to estimate the null
    distribution and then calculating the probability of observing a test
    statistic, under the null, at least as extreme as the observed test
    statistic.

    MGC requires at least 5 samples to run with reliable results. It can also
    handle high-dimensional data sets.

    In addition, by manipulating the input data matrices, the two-sample
    testing problem can be reduced to the independence testing problem [4]_.
    Given sample data :math:`U` and :math:`V` of sizes :math:`p \times n`
    :math:`p \times m`, data matrix :math:`X` and :math:`Y` can be created as
    follows:

    .. math::

        X = [U | V] \in \mathcal{R}^{p \times (n + m)}

        Y = [0_{1 \times n} | 1_{1 \times m}] \in \mathcal{R}^{(n + m)}

    Then, the MGC statistic can be calculated as normal. This methodology can
    be extended to similar tests such as distance correlation [4]_.

    Examples
    --------
    Suppose we have the summary data for two samples, as follows::

                         Sample   Sample
                   Size   Mean   Variance
        Sample 1    13    15.0     87.5
        Sample 2    11    12.0     39.0

    Apply the t-test to this data (with the assumption that the population
    variances are equal):

    >>> from scipy.stats import ttest_ind_from_stats
    >>> ttest_ind_from_stats(mean1=15.0, std1=np.sqrt(87.5), nobs1=13,
    ...                      mean2=12.0, std2=np.sqrt(39.0), nobs2=11)
    Ttest_indResult(statistic=0.9051358093310269, pvalue=0.3751996797581487)

    For comparison, here is the data from which those summary statistics
    were taken.  With this data, we can compute the same result using
    `scipy.stats.ttest_ind`:

    >>> a = np.array([1, 3, 4, 6, 11, 13, 15, 19, 22, 24, 25, 26, 26])
    >>> b = np.array([2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 21])
    >>> from scipy.stats import ttest_ind
    >>> ttest_ind(a, b)
    Ttest_indResult(statistic=0.905135809331027, pvalue=0.3751996797581486)

    Suppose we instead have binary data and would like to apply a t-test to
    compare the proportion of 1s in two independent groups::

                          Number of    Sample     Sample
                    Size    ones        Mean     Variance
        Sample 1    150      30         0.2        0.16
        Sample 2    200      45         0.225      0.174375

    The sample mean :math:`\hat{p}` is the proportion of ones in the sample
    and the variance for a binary observation is estimated by

    Parameters
    ----------
    a, b : array_like
        The arrays must have the same shape, except in the dimension
        corresponding to `axis` (the first, by default).

          * 'propagate': returns nan
          * 'raise': throws an error
          * 'omit': performs the calculations ignoring nan values

    Returns
    -------
    statistic : float or array
        The calculated t-statistic.
    pvalue : float or array
        The two-tailed p-value.

    Notes
    -----
    We can use this test, if we observe two independent samples from
    the same or different population, e.g. exam scores of boys and
    girls or of two ethnic groups. The test measures whether the
    average (expected) value differs significantly across samples. If
    we observe a large p-value, for example larger than 0.05 or 0.1,
    then we cannot reject the null hypothesis of identical average scores.
    If the p-value is smaller than the threshold, e.g. 1%, 5% or 10%,
    then we reject the null hypothesis of equal averages.

    Returns
    -------

        The Cressie-Read power divergence test statistic.  The value is
        a float if `axis` is None or if` `f_obs` and `f_exp` are 1-D.
    pvalue : float or ndarray
        The p-value of the test.  The value is a float if `ddof` and the
        return value `stat` are scalars.

    See Also
    --------
    chisquare

    Notes
    -----
    This test is invalid when the observed or expected frequencies in each
    category are too small.  A typical rule is that all of the observed
    and expected frequencies should be at least 5.

    When `lambda_` is less than zero, the formula for the statistic involves
    dividing by `f_obs`, so a warning or error may be generated if any value
    in `f_obs` is 0.

    Similarly, a warning or error may be generated if any value in `f_exp` is
    zero when `lambda_` >= 0.

    The default degrees of freedom, k-1, are for the case when no parameters
    of the distribution are estimated. If p parameters are estimated by
    efficient maximum likelihood then the correct degrees of freedom are
    k-1-p. If the parameters are estimated in a different way, then the
    dof can be between k-1-p and k-1. However, it is also possible that
    the asymptotic distribution is not a chisquare, in which case this
    test is not appropriate.

    This function handles masked arrays.  If an element of `f_obs` or `f_exp`
    is masked, then data at that position is ignored, and does not count
    towards the size of the data set.

           pp. 440-464.

    Examples
    --------
    (See `chisquare` for more examples.)

    When just `f_obs` is given, it is assumed that the expected frequencies
    are uniform and given by the mean of the observed frequencies.  Here we
    perform a G-test (i.e. use the log-likelihood ratio statistic):

    >>> from scipy.stats import power_divergence
    >>> power_divergence([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12], lambda_='log-likelihood')
    (2.006573162632538, 0.84823476779463769)

    The expected frequencies can be given with the `f_exp` argument:

    >>> power_divergence([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12],
    ...                  f_exp=[16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 8],
    ...                  lambda_='log-likelihood')
    (3.3281031458963746, 0.6495419288047497)

    When `f_obs` is 2-D, by default the test is applied to each column.

    >>> obs = np.array([[16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12], [32, 24, 16, 28, 20, 24]]).T
    >>> obs.shape
    (6, 2)
    >>> power_divergence(obs, lambda_="log-likelihood")
    (array([ 2.00657316,  6.77634498]), array([ 0.84823477,  0.23781225]))

    By setting ``axis=None``, the test is applied to all data in the array,
    which is equivalent to applying the test to the flattened array.

    >>> power_divergence(obs, axis=None)
    (23.31034482758621, 0.015975692534127565)
    >>> power_divergence(obs.ravel())
    (23.31034482758621, 0.015975692534127565)

    `ddof` is the change to make to the default degrees of freedom.

    >>> power_divergence([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12], ddof=1)
    (2.0, 0.73575888234288467)

    The calculation of the p-values is done by broadcasting the
    test statistic with `ddof`.

    >>> power_divergence([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12], ddof=[0,1,2])
    (2.0, array([ 0.84914504,  0.73575888,  0.5724067 ]))

    `f_obs` and `f_exp` are also broadcast.  In the following, `f_obs` has
    shape (6,) and `f_exp` has shape (2, 6), so the result of broadcasting
    `f_obs` and `f_exp` has shape (2, 6).  To compute the desired chi-squared
    statistics, we must use ``axis=1``:

    Calculate a one-way chi-square test.

    The chi-square test tests the null hypothesis that the categorical data
    has the given frequencies.

    Parameters
    ----------
    f_obs : array_like
        Observed frequencies in each category.
    f_exp : array_like, optional
        Expected frequencies in each category.  By default the categories are
        assumed to be equally likely.
    ddof : int, optional
        "Delta degrees of freedom": adjustment to the degrees of freedom
        for the p-value.  The p-value is computed using a chi-squared
        distribution with ``k - 1 - ddof`` degrees of freedom, where `k`
        is the number of observed frequencies.  The default value of `ddof`
        is 0.
    axis : int or None, optional
        The axis of the broadcast result of `f_obs` and `f_exp` along which to
        apply the test.  If axis is None, all values in `f_obs` are treated
        as a single data set.  Default is 0.

    Returns
    -------
    chisq : float or ndarray
        The chi-squared test statistic.  The value is a float if `axis` is
        None or `f_obs` and `f_exp` are 1-D.
    p : float or ndarray
        The p-value of the test.  The value is a float if `ddof` and the
        return value `chisq` are scalars.

    See Also
    --------
    scipy.stats.power_divergence

    Notes
    -----
    This test is invalid when the observed or expected frequencies in each
    category are too small.  A typical rule is that all of the observed
    and expected frequencies should be at least 5.

    The default degrees of freedom, k-1, are for the case when no parameters
    of the distribution are estimated. If p parameters are estimated by
    efficient maximum likelihood then the correct degrees of freedom are
    k-1-p. If the parameters are estimated in a different way, then the
    dof can be between k-1-p and k-1. However, it is also possible that
    the asymptotic distribution is not chi-square, in which case this test
    is not appropriate.

    Examples
    --------
    When just `f_obs` is given, it is assumed that the expected frequencies
    are uniform and given by the mean of the observed frequencies.

    >>> from scipy.stats import chisquare
    >>> chisquare([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12])
    (2.0, 0.84914503608460956)

    With `f_exp` the expected frequencies can be given.

    >>> chisquare([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12], f_exp=[16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 8])
    (3.5, 0.62338762774958223)

    When `f_obs` is 2-D, by default the test is applied to each column.

    >>> obs = np.array([[16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12], [32, 24, 16, 28, 20, 24]]).T
    >>> obs.shape
    (6, 2)
    >>> chisquare(obs)
    (array([ 2.        ,  6.66666667]), array([ 0.84914504,  0.24663415]))

    By setting ``axis=None``, the test is applied to all data in the array,
    which is equivalent to applying the test to the flattened array.

    >>> chisquare(obs, axis=None)
    (23.31034482758621, 0.015975692534127565)
    >>> chisquare(obs.ravel())
    (23.31034482758621, 0.015975692534127565)

    `ddof` is the change to make to the default degrees of freedom.

    >>> chisquare([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12], ddof=1)
    (2.0, 0.73575888234288467)

    The calculation of the p-values is done by broadcasting the
    chi-squared statistic with `ddof`.

    >>> chisquare([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12], ddof=[0,1,2])
    (2.0, array([ 0.84914504,  0.73575888,  0.5724067 ]))

    `f_obs` and `f_exp` are also broadcast.  In the following, `f_obs` has
    shape (6,) and `f_exp` has shape (2, 6), so the result of broadcasting
    `f_obs` and `f_exp` has shape (2, 6).  To compute the desired chi-squared
    statistics, we use ``axis=1``:

    >>> chisquare([16, 18, 16, 14, 12, 12],
    ...           f_exp=[[16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 8], [8, 20, 20, 16, 12, 12]],

    Parameters
    ----------

          * 'exact' : uses the exact distribution of test statistic.
          * 'approx' : approximates the two-sided probability with twice the one-sided probability
          * 'asymp': uses asymptotic distribution of test statistic

    Returns
    -------

    This is a two-sided test for the null hypothesis that 2 independent samples

    Parameters

        Two arrays of sample observations assumed to be drawn from a continuous
        distribution, sample sizes can be different.

          * 'greater': one-sided, see explanation in Notes

          * 'exact' : use exact distribution of test statistic
          * 'asymp' : use asymptotic distribution of test statistic

    Returns
    -------
    statistic : float
        KS statistic.
    pvalue : float
        Two-tailed p-value.

    --------

    Notes
    -----
    This tests whether 2 samples are drawn from the same distribution. Note
    that, like in the case of the one-sample KS test, the distribution is
    assumed to be continuous.

    In the one-sided test, the alternative is that the empirical
    cumulative distribution function F(x) of the data1 variable is "less"
    or "greater" than the empirical cumulative distribution function G(x)
    of the data2 variable, ``F(x)<=G(x)``, resp. ``F(x)>=G(x)``.

    If the KS statistic is small or the p-value is high, then we cannot
    reject the hypothesis that the distributions of the two samples
    are the same.

    If the mode is 'auto', the computation is exact if the sample sizes are
    less than 10000.  For larger sizes, the computation uses the
    Kolmogorov-Smirnov distributions to compute an approximate value.

    The 'two-sided' 'exact' computation computes the complementary probability
    and then subtracts from 1.  As such, the minimum probability it can return
    is about 1e-16.  While the algorithm itself is exact, numerical
    errors may accumulate for large sample sizes.   It is most suited to
    situations in which one of the sample sizes is only a few thousand.

    We generally follow Hodges' treatment of Drion/Gnedenko/Korolyuk [1]_.

    Performs the (one sample or two samples) Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for goodness of fit.

    The one-sample test performs a test of the distribution F(x) of an observed

    hypothesis, the two distributions are identical, F(x)=G(x). The
    alternative hypothesis can be either 'two-sided' (default), 'less'

    Parameters
    ----------
    rvs : str, array_like, or callable
        If an array, it should be a 1-D array of observations of random

        If a callable, it should be a function to generate random variables;
        it is required to have a keyword argument `size`.
        If a string, it should be the name of a distribution in `scipy.stats`,
        which will be used to generate random variables.
    cdf : str, array_like or callable
        If array_like, it should be a 1-D array of observations of random
        variables, and the two-sample test is performed (and rvs must be array_like)
        If a callable, that callable is used to calculate the cdf.
        If a string, it should be the name of a distribution in `scipy.stats`,
        which will be used as the cdf function.
    args : tuple, sequence, optional
        Distribution parameters, used if `rvs` or `cdf` are strings or callables.
    N : int, optional
        Sample size if `rvs` is string or callable.  Default is 20.
    alternative : {'two-sided', 'less', 'greater'}, optional
        Defines the alternative hypothesis.
        The following options are available (default is 'two-sided'):

          * 'two-sided'
          * 'less': one-sided, see explanation in Notes
          * 'greater': one-sided, see explanation in Notes
    mode : {'auto', 'exact', 'approx', 'asymp'}, optional
        Defines the distribution used for calculating the p-value.
        The following options are available (default is 'auto'):

          * 'auto' : selects one of the other options.
          * 'exact' : uses the exact distribution of test statistic.
          * 'approx' : approximates the two-sided probability with twice the one-sided probability
          * 'asymp': uses asymptotic distribution of test statistic

    Returns
    -------

    Use only when the number of observation in each sample is > 20 and
    you have 2 independent samples of ranks. Mann-Whitney U is
    significant if the u-obtained is LESS THAN or equal to the critical
    value of U.

    This test corrects for ties and by default uses a continuity correction.

    Returns
    -------
    statistic: float
        The statistic calculated by the specified method.
    pval: float
        The combined p-value.

    Notes
    -----
    Fisher's method (also known as Fisher's combined probability test) [1]_ uses
    a chi-squared statistic to compute a combined p-value. The closely related
    Stouffer's Z-score method [2]_ uses Z-scores rather than p-values. The
    advantage of Stouffer's method is that it is straightforward to introduce
    weights, which can make Stouffer's method more powerful than Fisher's
    method when the p-values are from studies of different size [6]_ [7]_.
    The Pearson's method uses :math:`log(1-p_i)` inside the sum whereas Fisher's
    method uses :math:`log(p_i)` [4]_. For Fisher's and Pearson's method, the
    sum of the logarithms is multiplied by -2 in the implementation. This
    quantity has a chi-square distribution that determines the p-value. The
    `mudholkar_george` method is the difference of the Fisher's and Pearson's
    test statistics, each of which include the -2 factor [4]_. However, the
    `mudholkar_george` method does not include these -2 factors. The test
    statistic of `mudholkar_george` is the sum of logisitic random variables and
    equation 3.6 in [3]_ is used to approximate the p-value based on Student's
    t-distribution.

    Fisher's method may be extended to combine p-values from dependent tests
    [5]_. Extensions such as Brown's method and Kost's method are not currently
    implemented.

def wasserstein_distance(u_values, v_values, u_weights=None, v_weights=None):
    r"""
    Compute the first Wasserstein distance between two 1D distributions.

    This distance is also known as the earth mover's distance, since it can be
    seen as the minimum amount of "work" required to transform :math:`u` into
    :math:`v`, where "work" is measured as the amount of distribution weight
    that must be moved, multiplied by the distance it has to be moved.

    .. versionadded:: 1.0.0

    Parameters
    ----------
    u_values, v_values : array_like
        Values observed in the (empirical) distribution.
    u_weights, v_weights : array_like, optional
        Weight for each value. If unspecified, each value is assigned the same
        weight.
        `u_weights` (resp. `v_weights`) must have the same length as
        `u_values` (resp. `v_values`). If the weight sum differs from 1, it
        must still be positive and finite so that the weights can be normalized
        to sum to 1.

    Returns
    -------
    distance : float
        The computed distance between the distributions.

    Notes
    -----
    The first Wasserstein distance between the distributions :math:`u` and
    :math:`v` is:

    .. math::

        l_1 (u, v) = \inf_{\pi \in \Gamma (u, v)} \int_{\mathbb{R} \times
        \mathbb{R}} |x-y| \mathrm{d} \pi (x, y)

    where :math:`\Gamma (u, v)` is the set of (probability) distributions on
    :math:`\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}` whose marginals are :math:`u` and
    :math:`v` on the first and second factors respectively.

    If :math:`U` and :math:`V` are the respective CDFs of :math:`u` and
    :math:`v`, this distance also equals to:

    .. math::

        l_1(u, v) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} |U-V|

    See [2]_ for a proof of the equivalence of both definitions.

    The input distributions can be empirical, therefore coming from samples
    whose values are effectively inputs of the function, or they can be seen as
    generalized functions, in which case they are weighted sums of Dirac delta
    functions located at the specified values.

    Compute the energy distance between two 1D distributions.

    .. versionadded:: 1.0.0

    Parameters
    ----------
    u_values, v_values : array_like
        Values observed in the (empirical) distribution.
    u_weights, v_weights : array_like, optional
        Weight for each value. If unspecified, each value is assigned the same

        to sum to 1.

    Returns
    -------
    distance : float
        The computed distance between the distributions.

    Notes
    -----
    The energy distance between two distributions :math:`u` and :math:`v`, whose
    respective CDFs are :math:`U` and :math:`V`, equals to:

    .. math::

        D(u, v) = \left( 2\mathbb E|X - Y| - \mathbb E|X - X'| -
        \mathbb E|Y - Y'| \right)^{1/2}

    where :math:`X` and :math:`X'` (resp. :math:`Y` and :math:`Y'`) are
    independent random variables whose probability distribution is :math:`u`
    (resp. :math:`v`).

    As shown in [2]_, for one-dimensional real-valued variables, the energy
    distance is linked to the non-distribution-free version of the Cramer-von
    Mises distance:

    .. math::

        D(u, v) = \sqrt{2} l_2(u, v) = \left( 2 \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} (U-V)^2
        \right)^{1/2}

    Note that the common Cramer-von Mises criterion uses the distribution-free
    version of the distance. See [2]_ (section 2), for more details about both
    versions of the distance.

    The input distributions can be empirical, therefore coming from samples
    whose values are effectively inputs of the function, or they can be seen as
    generalized functions, in which case they are weighted sums of Dirac delta
    functions located at the specified values.

          * 'dense': Like 'min', but the rank of the next highest element is
            assigned the rank immediately after those assigned to the tied
            elements.
