statsmodels.stats.proportion.binom_test

statsmodels.stats.proportion.binom_test(count, nobs, prop=0.5, alternative='two-sided') [source]

Perform a test that the probability of success is p.

This is an exact, two-sided test of the null hypothesis that the probability of success in a Bernoulli experiment is p.

Parameters:

count : integer or array_like

the number of successes in nobs trials.

nobs : integer

the number of trials or observations.

prop : float, optional

The probability of success under the null hypothesis, 0 <= prop <= 1. The default value is prop = 0.5

alternative : string in [?two-sided?, ?smaller?, ?larger?]

alternative hypothesis, which can be two-sided or either one of the one-sided tests.

Returns:

p-value : float

The p-value of the hypothesis test

Notes

This uses scipy.stats.binom_test for the two-sided alternative.
