Class AbstractUnivariateStatistic

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.math.stat.descriptive.AbstractUnivariateStatistic

All Implemented Interfaces:

UnivariateStatistic

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic, Percentile, SemiVariance

public abstract class AbstractUnivariateStatistic
extends java.lang.Object
implements UnivariateStatistic

Abstract base class for all implementations of the UnivariateStatistic interface.

Provides a default implementation of evaluate(double[]), delegating to evaluate(double[], int, int) in the natural way.

Also includes a test method that performs generic parameter validation for the evaluate methods.

public AbstractUnivariateStatistic()

Method Detail

setData

public void setData(double[] values)

Set the data array.

The stored value is a copy of the parameter array, not the array itself

Parameters:

values - data array to store (may be null to remove stored data)

See Also:

evaluate()

getData

public double[] getData()

Get a copy of the stored data array.

Returns:

copy of the stored data array (may be null)

setData

public void setData(double[] values,
                    int begin,
                    int length)

Set the data array.

Parameters:

values - data array to store

begin - the index of the first element to include

length - the number of elements to include

See Also:

evaluate()

evaluate

public double evaluate()

Returns the result of evaluating the statistic over the stored data.

The stored array is the one which was set by previous calls to

Returns:

the value of the statistic applied to the stored data

evaluate

public double evaluate(double[] values)

Returns the result of evaluating the statistic over the input array.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface UnivariateStatistic

Parameters:

values - input array

Returns:

the value of the statistic applied to the input array

evaluate

public abstract double evaluate(double[] values,
                                int begin,
                                int length)

Returns the result of evaluating the statistic over the specified entries in the input array.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface UnivariateStatistic

Parameters:

values - the input array

begin - the index of the first element to include

length - the number of elements to include

Returns:

the value of the statistic applied to the included array entries

copy

public abstract UnivariateStatistic copy()

Returns a copy of the statistic with the same internal state.

Specified by:

copy in interface UnivariateStatistic

Returns:

a copy of the statistic
