geostats

geostats is a tiny standalone JS library for classification released by Simon Georget under MIT license.

Other contributors : Doug Curl (Jenks algorithm), Casey Thomas, Dreamind, cricri

It currently supports

• equal intervals
• quantiles
• standard deviation
• arithmetic progression
• geometric progression
• jenks (natural breaks)
• uniques values
• user defined classification

and few statistical methods

To use it, just download the geostats package and include the following line into your html page :

   <script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/lib/geostats.min.js"></script>

Please see the samples page to understand how it works!

API

Attributes :

• serie : contains the statistic population. Default : empty.
• separator : used to separate ranges values, by default : ' - '
• legendSeparator : by default, equals to separator value
• method : give information regarding the classification method used. Default : empty.
• bounds : classification bounds
• ranges : classification ranges
• colors : classification colors
• debug : default value false. When set to true , provide useful debug message regarding objects and properties.
• silent : default value false. If silent, do no trigger alert() message when inputs are incorrects but display console.log() messages

Methods :

Statistics :

• min() : return the min value
• max() : return the max value
• sum() : return the sum of the population
• pop() : return the number of individuals
• mean() : return the mean
• median() : return the median
• variance() : return the variance
• stddev() : return the standard deviation
• cov() : return the coefficient of variation

Classification :

• getClassEqInterval(nbClass) : Perform an equal interval classification and return bounds into an array. Alias : getEqInterval(nbClass)
• getClassStdDeviation(nbClass) : Perform a standard deviation classification and return bounds into an array. Alias : getStdDeviation(nbClass)
• getClassArithmeticProgression(nbClass) : Perform an arithmetic progression classification and return bounds into an array. Alias : getArithmeticProgression(nbClass)
• getClassGeometricProgression(nbClass) : Perform a geometric progression classification and return bounds into an array. Alias : getGeometricProgression(nbClass)
• getClassQuantile(nbClass) : Perform a quantile classification and return bounds into an array. Alias : getQuantile(nbClass)
• getClassJenks(nbClass) : Perform a Jenks classification and return bounds into an array. Alias : getJenks(nbClass)
• getClassUniqueValues() : Perform a unique values classification and return bounds (values) into an array. Alias : getUniqueValues()
• setClassManually() : Set a user defined classification based on passed array (Same array is returned). Useful to automatically set bounds/ranges and generate legend.

Constructor methods :

• setSerie() : fill up the serie attribute
• setColors() : fill up the colors attribute
• setPrecision() : set precision on serie - only useful for float series. Can take no value (for automatic precision), or an integer between 0-20. By default, the precision will be computed automatically by geostats.

Getters methods :

• getRanges(array) : return an array of classes range (ranges value)
• getRangeNum() : return the number/index of this.ranges that value falls into
• getHtmlLegend(colors, legend, callback, mode, order) : return a legend in html format.
  colors defines an array of colors; legend is used for giving the legend a different title; with counter, a particular counter value can be displayed; a function which should be applied to the legend boundaries is used in place of callback; mode is for different display modes of the value ranges; order refers to the sort order of values. For further details, please refer to the code comment which accompanies the getHtmlLegend method.
• getSortedlist() : return the sorted serie in text format
• getClass() : return a given value class

Internals methods :

• _nodata() : check if serie attribute if not empty
• _hasNegativeValue() : check if the serie contains any negative values
• _hasZeroValue() : check if the serie contains zero values
• sorted() : return the sorted (asc) serie
• info() : return information about the population in text format
• setRanges() : fill up the ranges attribute (array of classes range)
• doCount() : perform count feature by classes, used to display count feature in legend

Note : If you are looking for a nice JS library to format numbers for displaying, just rely on numeraljs.
