Class SecondMoment

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, DoubleConsumer, AggregatableStatistic<SecondMoment>, StorelessUnivariateStatistic, UnivariateStatistic, MathArrays.Function

Computes a statistic related to the Second Central Moment. Specifically, what is computed is the sum of squared deviations from the sample mean.

The following recursive updating formula is used:

Let

  • dev = (current obs - previous mean)
  • n = number of observations (including current obs)
Then

new value = old value + dev^2 * (n - 1) / n.

Returns Double.NaN if no data values have been added and returns 0 if there is just one value in the data set. Note that Double.NaN may also be returned if the input includes NaN and / or infinite values.

Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least one of the threads invokes the increment() or clear() method, it must be synchronized externally.

    • increment

      public void increment(double d)
      Updates the internal state of the statistic to reflect the addition of the new value.
      Specified by:
      increment in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic
      Parameters:
      d - the new value.
    • clear

      public void clear()
      Clears the internal state of the Statistic
      Specified by:
      clear in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic
    • getResult

      public double getResult()
      Returns the current value of the Statistic.
      Specified by:
      getResult in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic

      Specified by:
      aggregate in interface AggregatableStatistic<SecondMoment>
      Parameters:
      other - the instance to aggregate into this instance
    • copy

      public SecondMoment copy()
      Returns a copy of the statistic with the same internal state.
      Specified by:
      copy in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic
      Specified by:
      copy in interface UnivariateStatistic
      Returns:
      a copy of the statistic
    • getN

      public long getN()
      Returns the number of values that have been added.
      Specified by:
      getN in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic
      Returns:
      the number of values.
    • aggregate

      protected void aggregate(org.hipparchus.stat.descriptive.moment.FirstMoment other)
      Aggregates the results of the provided instance into this instance.
      Parameters:
