Significance Test

this page describes how to perform significance testing on your data.

How we calculate significance difference

We use a calculation called z-test . You can choose to perform significance testing between the Column or Row values. It's also possible to select which algorithm to use: All against all, all selected values against a control group, each value against the next value or each value against the previous value.

Bellow is the specification for the options you can use.

If you want to perform significance testing on your data you'll need to purchase the sigtesting feature.

Name	Required	Type	Description	Values
status	true	Boolean	This parameter controls if significance testing is turned on/off	true/false
analysisType	true	String	This parameter controls the significance testing algorithm performed on the data.	ALL_VS_ALL CONTROL_GROUP NEXT_DATA_POINT PREVIOUS_DATA_POINT
baseLimit	true	Integer	This parameter controls the minimum value for base to be considered for significance testing.	0 - infinite
confidence	true	String	This parameter controls the confidence level.	90 95 99
testGroups	false	Array	If you select analysisType CONTROL_GROUP you need to select which groups to test against set control group.	[ 'A group unique ID' , 'A second group unique ID' ]
controlGroup	false	String	If you select analysisType CONTROL_GROUP you need to select which group will the results be tested against.	"A control group unique ID"
testBetween	true	String	This parameter controls if it should be tested between Columns or Rows	TEST_BETWEEN_COLUMNS TEST_BETWEEN_ROWS

If you want to perform significance testing against a CONTROL_GROUP you need to add unique IDs to all the columns, items and rows in order for us to identify which columns / rows you are referring to.

If request payload contains incorrect IDs in controlGroup, testGroups or it will not match with any column, item or row we will return an error message.

Example JSON

The SigOptions attribute has to be passed as part of the chart Object.
