All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, StorelessUnivariateStatistic, UnivariateStatistic

public class Min
extends AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic
implements java.io.Serializable

Returns the minimum of the available values.

• The result is NaN iff all values are NaN (i.e. NaN values have no impact on the value of the statistic).
• If any of the values equals Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, the result is Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY.

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.

Constructor Detail

Min

public Min()

Create a Min instance

Min

public Min(Min original)

Copy constructor, creates a new Min identical to the original

Parameters:

original - the Min instance to copy

Method Detail

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

Specified by:

increment in class AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic

Parameters:

d - the new value.

clear

public void clear()

Clears the internal state of the Statistic

Specified by:

clear in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic

Specified by:

clear in class AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic

getResult

public double getResult()

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.

getN

public long getN()

Returns the number of values that have been added.

Specified by:

getN in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic

Returns:

the number of values.

evaluate

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

Returns the minimum of the entries in the specified portion of the input array, or Double.NaN if the designated subarray is empty.

Throws IllegalArgumentException if the array is null or the array index parameters are not valid.

• The result is NaN iff all values are NaN (i.e. NaN values have no impact on the value of the statistic).
• If any of the values equals Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, the result is Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface UnivariateStatistic

Overrides:

evaluate in class AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic

Parameters:

values - the input array

begin - index of the first array element to include

length - the number of elements to include

Returns:

the minimum of the values or Double.NaN if length = 0

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the array is null or the array index parameters are not valid

copy

public Min copy()

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

Specified by:

copy in interface StorelessUnivariateStatistic

Specified by:

copy in interface UnivariateStatistic

Specified by:

copy in class AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic

Returns:

a copy of the statistic

copy

public static void copy(Min source,
                        Min dest)

Copies source to dest.

Neither source nor dest can be null.

Parameters:

source - Min to copy

dest - Min to copy to

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if either source or dest is null
