Constructor Detail

Statistics

public Statistics()

Create a new statistics collector.

Method Detail

reset

public void reset()

Reset this statistics collector.

add

public void add(double d)

Add the specified number.

Parameters:

d - The number.

size

public int size()

Get the size of this collection.

Returns:

The size.

get

public double get(int idx)

Get the specified number.

Parameters:

idx - The index.

Returns:

The corresponding number.

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - Signals that the index is out of range.

sum

public double sum()

Calculate the sum.

Returns:

The sum.

mean

public double mean()

Calculate the mean.

Returns:

The mean.

median

public double median()

Calculate the median. Note that this method does not change the order of numbers in this collection, i.e. it sorts a copy.

Returns:

The median.

stdev

public double stdev()

Calculate the standard deviation.

Returns:

The standard deviation.

round

public static double round(double d)

Round the specified number to two digits after the decimal point.

Parameters:

d - The number.

Returns:

The rounded number.

fitSlope

public static double fitSlope(Statistics x,
              Statistics y)

Compute the least squares fit. This method computes the least squares fit to a straight line model without a constant term for the specified collections of numbers: y = mx.

Parameters:

x - The collection of x coordinates.

y - The collection of y coordiantes.

Returns:

The slope of the corresponding line model.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Signals that the two collections are empty or not of the same size.
