Summation Test output #23

Closed HappyCane closed 4 years ago

HappyCane commented 5 years ago

Hello! First of all, you did a very good job writing this library. It saves a lot of time for all of us Benford researchers without proper programming education. I would like to bring to your attention a possible malfunction of the Summation Test function. When I run it for a multitude of columns with a for loop it plots the histograms at the end, not with the respected tables produced from each separate column. This makes it hard to match each histogram with the column/variable it refers to. Furthermore, the produced tables are ordered by the F2D column and not the difference column as implied by the title of the table. I wish you the best!

Edit: Could you please provide some insight about what does the AbsDif represent and how it could be used?

Dear HappyCane, I am sorry to be able to answer you only now. Due to other commitments, I had been absent to github. I shall look into it. As for the AbsDif column, is I remember correctly it is one of the computation steps for the Z-scores.

I have not used it in a for loop with multiple columns. Can you provide a sample of the code?

When we clear this out, we can reopen the issue and try to solve it.
