public final class MathUtils extends Object
A collection of several util methods related to Math. We only used it in DefaultSummaryCalculator in JIDE Pivot Grid to calculate statistics but this class will be reserved as a place holder for methods related to Math.

    • sum

      public static double sum(List<Number> numbers)
      Returns the sum number in the numbers list.
      Parameters:
      numbers - the numbers to calculate the sum.
      Returns:
      the sum of the numbers.
    • mean

      public static double mean(List<Number> numbers)
      Returns the mean number in the numbers list.
      Parameters:
      numbers - the numbers to calculate the mean.
      Returns:
      the mean of the numbers.
    • min

      public static double min(List<Number> numbers)
      Returns the min number in the numbers list.
      Parameters:
      numbers - the numbers to calculate the min.
      Returns:
      the min number in the numbers list.
    • max

      public static double max(List<Number> numbers)
      Returns the max number in the numbers list.
      Parameters:
      numbers - the numbers to calculate the max.
      Returns:
      the max number in the numbers list.
    • stddev

      public static double stddev(List<Number> numbers, boolean biasCorrected)
      Returns the standard deviation of the numbers.

      Double.NaN is returned if the numbers list is empty.

      Parameters:
      numbers - the numbers to calculate the standard deviation.
      biasCorrected - true if variance is calculated by dividing by n - 1. False if by n. stddev is a sqrt of the variance.
      Returns:
      the standard deviation
    • var

      public static double var(List<Number> numbers, boolean biasCorrected)
      Computes the variance of the available values. By default, the unbiased "sample variance" definitional formula is used: variance = sum((x_i - mean)^2) / (n - 1)

      The "population variance" ( sum((x_i - mean)^2) / n ) can also be computed using this statistic. The biasCorrected property determines whether the "population" or "sample" value is returned by the evaluate and getResult methods. To compute population variances, set this property to false.

      Parameters:
      numbers - the numbers to calculate the variance.
      biasCorrected - true if variance is calculated by dividing by n - 1. False if by n.
      Returns:
      the variance of the numbers.
    • range

      public static Range<Double> range(List<Number> numbers)
      Returns the range of numbers.
      Parameters:
      numbers - the numbers to calculate the range.
      Returns:
      the range of the numbers.
    • rangeInteger

      public static Range<Integer> rangeInteger(List<Number> numbers)
      Returns the range of numbers.
      Parameters:
      numbers - the numbers to calculate the range.
      Returns:
      the range of the numbers.
    • rangeLong

      public static Range<Long> rangeLong(List<Number> numbers)
      Returns the range of numbers.
      Parameters:
      numbers - the numbers to calculate the range.
      Returns:
      the range of the numbers.
