Class GeometricMean

  extended by org.apache.commons.math.stat.descriptive.AbstractUnivariateStatistic
      extended by org.apache.commons.math.stat.descriptive.AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic
          extended by org.apache.commons.math.stat.descriptive.moment.GeometricMean
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, StorelessUnivariateStatistic, UnivariateStatistic

public class GeometricMean
extends AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic

Returns the geometric mean of the available values.

Uses a SumOfLogs instance to compute sum of logs and returns exp( 1/n (sum of logs) ). Therefore,

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.

GeometricMean

public GeometricMean()
Create a GeometricMean instance

Method Detail

increment

public void increment(double d)
Description copied from interface: StorelessUnivariateStatistic
Updates the internal state of the statistic to reflect the addition of the new value.

Specified by:
increment in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic
Specified by:
increment in class AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic
Parameters:
d - the new value.
See Also:
StorelessUnivariateStatistic.increment(double)

getResult

public double getResult()
Description copied from interface: StorelessUnivariateStatistic
Returns the current value of the Statistic.

Specified by:
getResult in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic
Specified by:
getResult in class AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic
Returns:
value of the statistic, Double.NaN if it has been cleared or just instantiated.
See Also:
StorelessUnivariateStatistic.getResult()

clear

public void clear()
Description copied from interface: StorelessUnivariateStatistic
Clears the internal state of the Statistic

Specified by:
clear in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic
Specified by:
clear in class AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic
See Also:
StorelessUnivariateStatistic.clear()

evaluate

public double evaluate(double[] values,
                       int begin,
                       int length)
Returns the geometric mean of the entries in the specified portion of the input array.

See GeometricMean for details on the computing algorithm.

Throws IllegalArgumentException if the array is null.

Specified by:
evaluate in interface UnivariateStatistic
Overrides:
evaluate in class AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic
Parameters:
values - input array containing the values
begin - first array element to include
length - the number of elements to include
Returns:
the geometric mean or Double.NaN if length = 0 or any of the values are <= 0.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the input array is null or the array index parameters are not valid
See Also:
UnivariateStatistic.evaluate(double[], int, int)

getN

public long getN()
Description copied from interface: StorelessUnivariateStatistic
Returns the number of values that have been added.

Returns:
the number of values.
