permutation test python

# This is a possible implementation of permutation test using monte-carlo method:
def exact_mc_perm_test(xs, ys, nmc):
    n, k = len(xs), 0
    diff = np.abs(np.mean(xs) - np.mean(ys))
    zs = np.concatenate([xs, ys])
    for j in range(nmc):
        np.random.shuffle(zs)
        k += diff < np.abs(np.mean(zs[:n]) - np.mean(zs[n:]))
    return k / nmc

Example:
>>> xs = np.array([12.6, 11.4, 13.2, 11.2, 9.4, 12.0])
>>> ys = np.array([16.4, 14.1, 13.4, 15.4, 14.0, 11.3])
>>> exact_mc_perm_test(xs, ys, 30000)
