Check Covariate Balance in Python
Compute standardized mean differences and KS tests to check covariate balance between treatment and control groups in Python.
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats
def balance_check(treatment, covariate):
"""Check covariate balance between treatment and control groups."""
treat_vals = covariate[treatment == 1]
control_vals = covariate[treatment == 0]
# Standardized mean difference
pooled_std = np.sqrt((np.var(t…How to Compute Mann-Whitney U Test in Python
Compute the Mann-Whitney U statistic and p-value manually in Python with tie correction and a normal approximation for independent samples.
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats
def mann_whitney_u_mock(sample_a, sample_b):
"""Compute Mann-Whitney U and p-value manually."""
# Combine and rank
combined = sample_a + sample_b
n_a, n_b = len(sample_a), len(sample_b)
n_total = n_a + n_b
# Rank with ties handling (average ranks…How to Conduct a Two-Sample T-Test in Python
Performs Welch's t-test for two independent samples, computing the t-statistic, degrees of freedom, and p-value using NumPy and SciPy.
import numpy as np
def two_sample_t_test(sample1, sample2):
"""Perform Welch's t-test for two independent samples."""
n1, n2 = len(sample1), len(sample2)
mean1, mean2 = np.mean(sample1), np.mean(sample2)
var1, var2 = np.var(sample1, ddof=1), np.var(sample2, ddof=1)
# Standard error of difference
…How to Perform Intent-to-Treat Analysis in Python
Runs an intent-to-treat analysis on mock A/B test data, comparing outcomes by initial group assignment with a t-test for significance.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
def intent_to_treat_analysis(data):
"""Perform intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis.
ITT compares outcomes based on initial treatment assignment,
regardless of whether participants actually received the treatment.
