giddy.rank.Theta

class giddy.rank.Theta(y, regime, permutations=999)[source]

Regime mobility measure. [Rey04]

For sequence of time periods Theta measures the extent to which rank changes for a variable measured over n locations are in the same direction within mutually exclusive and exhaustive partitions (regimes) of the n locations.

Theta is defined as the sum of the absolute sum of rank changes within the regimes over the sum of all absolute rank changes.

Parameters
yarray

(n, k) with k>=2, successive columns of y are later moments in time (years, months, etc).

regimearray

(n, ), values corresponding to which regime each observation belongs to.

permutationsint

number of random spatial permutations to generate for computationally based inference.

Examples

>>> import libpysal as ps
>>> from giddy.rank import Theta
>>> import numpy as np
>>> f=ps.io.open(ps.examples.get_path("mexico.csv"))
>>> vnames=["pcgdp%d"%dec for dec in range(1940,2010,10)]
>>> y=np.transpose(np.array([f.by_col[v] for v in vnames]))
>>> regime=np.array(f.by_col['esquivel99'])
>>> np.random.seed(10)
>>> t=Theta(y,regime,999)
>>> t.theta
