# tschuprowst
> Metric `TschuprowsT` from `torchmetrics` (torchmetrics.TschuprowsT)
## When to invoke this skill
The user has predictions + ground truth and asks to evaluate with TschuprowsT, or
mentions `torchmetrics.TschuprowsT` directly, or wants the standard torchmetrics implementation.
## Reference signature
```python
from torchmetrics import TschuprowsT
# TschuprowsT(num_classes: int, bias_correction: bool = True, nan_strategy: Literal['replace', 'drop'] = 'replace', nan_replace_value: Optional[float] = 0.0, **kwargs: Any) -> None
```
## Library docstring
```
Compute `Tschuprow's T`_ statistic measuring the association between two categorical (nominal) data series.
.. math::
T = \sqrt{\frac{\chi^2 / n}{\sqrt{(r - 1) * (k - 1)}}}
where
.. math::
\chi^2 = \sum_{i,j} \ frac{\left(n_{ij} - \frac{n_{i.} n_{.j}}{n}\right)^2}{\frac{n_{i.} n_{.j}}{n}}
where :math:`n_{ij}` denotes the number of times the values :math:`(A_i, B_j)` are observed with :math:`A_i, B_j`
represent frequencies of values in ``preds`` and ``target``, respectively. Tschuprow's T is a symmetric coefficient,
i.e. :math:`T(preds, target) = T(target, preds)`, so order of input arguments does not matter. The output values
lies in [0, 1] with 1 meaning the perfect association.
As input to ``forward`` and ``update`` the metric accepts the following input:
- ``preds`` (:class:`~torch.Tensor`): Either 1D or 2D tensor of categorical (nominal) data from the first data
series with shape ``(batch_size,)`` or ``(batch_size, num_classes)``, respectively.
- ``target`` (:class:`~torch.Tensor`): Either 1D or 2D tensor of categorical (nominal) data from the second data
series with shape ``(batch_size,)`` or ``(batch_size, num_classes)``, respectively.
As output of ``forward`` and ``compute`` the metric returns the following output:
- ``tschuprows_t`` (:class:`~torch.Tensor`): Scalar tensor containing the Tschuprow's T statistic.
Args:
num_classes: Integer specifying the number of classes
bias_correction: Indication of whether to use bias correction.
nan_strategy: Indication of whether to replace or drop ``NaN`` values
nan_replace_value: Value to replace ``NaN``s when ``nan_strategy = 'replace'``
kwargs: Additional keyword arguments, see :ref:`Metric kwargs` for more info.
Raises:
ValueError:
If `nan_strategy` is not one of `'replace'` and `'drop'`
ValueError:
If `nan_strategy` is equal to `'replace'` and `nan_replace_value` is not an `int` or `float`
Example::
>>> from torch import randint
>>> from torchmetrics.nominal import TschuprowsT
>>> preds = randint(0, 4, (100,))
>>> target = (preds + torch.randn(100)).round().clamp(0, 4)
>>> tschuprows_t = TschuprowsT(num_classes=5)
>>> ts
```
## Quick recipe
```python
import torchmetrics as _m
score = _m.TschuprowsT(y_true, y_pred)
```
## Don'ts
- Don't reimplement when the library version handles edge cases (NaN, ties, empty inputs) better than a hand-rolled formula.
- Always check the library version's argument order — sklearn is `(y_true, y_pred)` while torchmetrics is `(preds, target)`.
