exploratory analysis

name summary used in
Categories Named categories with integer codes: a code is the index of its name. 21
describe Weighted (declustered) statistics of values; NaN is skipped. 8
describe_by Weighted statistics per category, as describe, then over all values. 6
correlation Correlation matrix of the columns of data, each pair over rows without NaN. 4
swath Mean of values per slice of width along azimuth (degrees from north) or axis ("x", "y", "z"); slices start at 0 so swaths of samples and blocks line up. 8
contact Mean of values against signed distance to the inside/outside contact along each hole, negative inside. 4
soft_boundary Hard (target domain alone) vs soft statistics: also folding in samples of other domains within buffer, as a search opened with Search(..., soft=buffer) would. 1
capping Metal removed and statistics after capping at each of caps. 3
capping_report Weighted statistics per domain before and after capping, and the metal removed. 2
despike Breaks ties in values before a normal-score transform. 3
data_spacing Equivalent data spacing (Cabral Pinto & Deutsch, 2017). 5
spatial_bootstrap Uncertainty in global statistics of spatially correlated data. 1
paired_bias Mean of paired values and their relative bias per bin of pairing distance. 1
