Chai Stats

Statistical and additional numerical assertions for the Chai Assertion Library.

Installation

Node.js

Chai spies are available on npm.

  $ npm install chai-stats

Browser

Include chai-stats.js after including chai.js.

<script src="chai-stats.js"></script>

Plug In

If you are using chai-stats in the browser, there is nothing you need to do. It will detect chai in the global namespace and automagically get used.

If you are using node, here is a useful bit.

var chai = require('chai')
  , chaiStats = require('chai-stats');

chai.use(chaiStats);

var should = chai.should()
  , expect = chai.expect; 

API Reference

.almost.equal(expected, [precision])

The same as NumPy's assert_almost_equal, for scalars. Assert near equality: abs(expected-actual) < 0.5 * 10**(-decimal)

expect(3.1415).to.almost.equal(3.14159, 3);
assert.almostEqual(3.1416, 3.14159, 3, 'these numbers are almost equal');

.deepAlmostEqual(actual, expected, [decimal, message])

The same as NumPy's assert_almost_equal, for objects whose leaves are all numbers. Assert near equality: abs(expected-actual) < 0.5 * 10**(-decimal) for every leaf.

expect({ pi: 3.1416 }).to.almost.eql({ pi: 3.14159 }, 3);
assert.deepAlmostEqual({ pi: 3.1416 }, { pi: 3.14159 }, 3);

.sum

Modifies the assertion subject with the sum of an array of number so it can be compared using chai's core assertions.

expect([ 1, 2, 3 ]).to.have.sum.equal(6);
expect([ 1, 2, 3 ]).to.have.sum.above(5);
expect([ 1, 2, 3 ]).to.have.sum.below(7);

.mean

Modifies the assertion subject with the mean of an array of number so it can be compared using chai's core assertions.

expect([ 1, 2, 3 ]).to.have.mean.equal(2);
expect([ 1, 2, 3 ]).to.have.mean.above(1.5);
expect([ 1, 2, 3 ]).to.have.mean.below(2.5);

.deviation

Modifies the assertion subject with the standard deviations of an array of number so it can be compared using chai's core assertions.

expect([ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]).to.have.deviation.almost.equal(1.290, 2);

Tests

Tests are written using mocha in the BDD interface. Node tests can be executed using make test. Browser tests can be seen by opening test/browser/index.html.
