Exemplo: Gráfico QQ

Um consultor de saúde quer comparar a normalidade dos índices de satisfação dos pacientes de dois hospitais usando um gráfico quantil-quantil (QQ). Os gráficos QQ mostram em que medida cada conjunto de índices de satisfação do paciente ajusta bem uma distribuição normal.

O script Python de exemplo lê os dados das colunas no Minitab. O script calcula os quantis e cria um gráfico QQ para cada coluna. Em seguida, o script envia os gráficos para o painel Saída do Minitab.

Arquivo Descrição
qq_plot.py Um script Python que usa colunas de uma worksheet do Minitab e exibe o Gráfico QQ para cada coluna.
O script Python no exemplo abaixo requer os seguintes módulos Python. O número entre parênteses é a versão de pacote mais recente que usamos para executar o script.
mtbpy
O módulo Python que integra o Minitab e o Python. No exemplo, as funções deste módulo enviam resultados do Python para o Minitab.
numpy (1.24.2)
Um módulo Python que tem várias aplicações para computação científica e numérica.
matplotlib (3.7.0)
Um módulo Python que tem várias funções relacionadas à representação em gráficos e à criação de figuras.
  1. Instale os módulos necessários: mtbpy e numpy.
    1. Para instalar os módulos necessários via PIP, execute o comando correspondente para o terminal do seu sistema operacional (por exemplo, o Microsoft® Windows Command Prompt ou o terminal macOS):
      pip install mtbpy numpy matplotlib

      Se você já instalou Python e está em execução nas pythonMicrosoft® Windows Command Prompt aberturas da Microsoft® Store, vá para .

  2. Salve o arquivo de script do Python, qq_plot.py, no local do arquivo padrão do Minitab. Para obter mais informações sobre onde o Minitab procura os arquivos de script do Python, acesse Pastas padrão de arquivos Python para o Minitab.
  3. Abra o conjunto de dados de amostra ComparaçãoDesempilhadaDeHotéis.MTW.
  4. No painel Linha de comando do Minitab, digite PYSC "qq_plot.py" "Hospital A" "Hospital B".
  5. Clique em Ensaio.

"""
Description:
_________________________________________________________________________________
This script will generate a QQ Plot for each column of data passed to PYSC.
If PYSC was not given any columns, the script will look for data in every
column starting with the first column (C1) and ending at the first empty column.
The ranks are calculated using the Modified Kaplan-Meier method,
and duplicate values are given the same rank and quantile, this is also known
as "competition" ranking.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Imports:
_________________________________________________________________________________
numbers - For testing the types of the values in the data columns.
sys - For retrieving any columns passed from Minitab.
statistics - For calculating the inverse CDF of the normal distribution.
numpy - For general calculations and manipulating data.
matplotlib - For creating the plots.
mtbpy - For sending and receiving data with Minitab.
