Class ConstantRealDistribution

    • Constructor Detail

      • ConstantRealDistribution

        public ConstantRealDistribution​(double value)
        Create a constant real distribution with the given value.
        Parameters:
        value - the constant value of this distribution

    • Method Detail

      • density

        public double density​(double x)
        Returns the probability density function (PDF) of this distribution evaluated at the specified point x. In general, the PDF is the derivative of the CDF. If the derivative does not exist at x, then an appropriate replacement should be returned, e.g. Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY, Double.NaN, or the limit inferior or limit superior of the difference quotient.
        Parameters:
        x - the point at which the PDF is evaluated
        Returns:
        the value of the probability density function at point x

      • cumulativeProbability

        public double cumulativeProbability​(double x)
        For a random variable X whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returns P(X <= x). In other words, this method represents the (cumulative) distribution function (CDF) for this distribution.
        Parameters:
        x - the point at which the CDF is evaluated
        Returns:
        the probability that a random variable with this distribution takes a value less than or equal to x

      • getNumericalMean

        public double getNumericalMean()
        Use this method to get the numerical value of the mean of this distribution.
        Returns:
        the mean or Double.NaN if it is not defined

      • getNumericalVariance

        public double getNumericalVariance()
        Use this method to get the numerical value of the variance of this distribution.
        Returns:
        the variance (possibly Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY as for certain cases in TDistribution) or Double.NaN if it is not defined

      • getSupportLowerBound

        public double getSupportLowerBound()
        Access the lower bound of the support. This method must return the same value as inverseCumulativeProbability(0). In other words, this method must return

        inf {x in R | P(X <= x) > 0}.

        Returns:
        lower bound of the support (might be Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY)

      • getSupportUpperBound

        public double getSupportUpperBound()
        Access the upper bound of the support. This method must return the same value as inverseCumulativeProbability(1). In other words, this method must return

        inf {x in R | P(X <= x) = 1}.

        Returns:
        upper bound of the support (might be Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY)

      • isSupportConnected

        public boolean isSupportConnected()
        Use this method to get information about whether the support is connected, i.e. whether all values between the lower and upper bound of the support are included in the support.
        Returns:
        whether the support is connected or not
