chi-squared tests in python?
Hi, I'd like to be able to use the chi-squared test in my code. Currently, I can output "look up [this value] in a chi-squared table with [x] degrees of freedom", but that's obviously a little sub-optimal. I notice that numarray has a chi_square function, but that just gives you random numbers from a chi-squared distribution with a set number of degrees of freedom - not really what I want. Does there exist python code to do this? preferably something vaguely standard? Thanks, Matthew ps: given the "batteries included" philosphy, there's a remarkable dearth of stats in python... -- Matthew Vernon MA VetMB LGSM MRCVS Farm Animal Epidemiology and Informatics Unit Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~mcv21/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
loading configuration files that are themselves python
Hi, Is there a more idiomatic way of loading in a configuration file that's python code than: _temp=__import__(path,fromlist='cachestrs') cachestrs=_temp.cachestrs ? I mean, that's pretty ugly...Plain "import" doesn't work in this case because 'path' is a variable defined elsewhere TIA, Matthew -- Rapun.sel - outermost outpost of the Pick Empire http://www.pick.ucam.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That looks like what I want, thanks :) Matthew -- Rapun.sel - outermost outpost of the Pick Empire http://www.pick.ucam.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
