                                     double variance)
Returns the auto-correlation of a data sequence.


checkRangeFromTo

protected static void checkRangeFromTo(int from,
                                       int to,
                                       int theSize)
Checks if the given range is within the contained array's bounds.

Throws:
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if to!=from-1 || from<0 || from>to || to>=size().

correlation

public static double correlation(double[] data1,
                                 double standardDev1,
                                 double[] data2,
                                 double standardDev2)
Returns the correlation of two data sequences. That is covariance(data1,data2)/(standardDev1*standardDev2).


covariance

public static double covariance(double[] data1,
                                double[] data2)
Returns the covariance of two data sequences, which is cov(x,y) = (1/(size()-1)) * Sum((x[i]-mean(x)) * (y[i]-mean(y))). See the math definition.


durbinWatson

public static double durbinWatson(double[] data)
Durbin-Watson computation.


frequencies

public static void frequencies(double[] sortedData,
                               java.util.ArrayList distinctValues,
                               java.util.ArrayList frequencies)
Computes the frequency (number of occurances, count) of each distinct value in the given sorted data. After this call returns both distinctValues and frequencies have a new size (which is equal for both), which is the number of distinct values in the sorted data.

Distinct values are filled into distinctValues, starting at index 0. The frequency of each distinct value is filled into frequencies, starting at index 0. As a result, the smallest distinct value (and its frequency) can be found at index 0, the second smallest distinct value (and its frequency) at index 1, ..., the largest distinct value (and its frequency) at index distinctValues.size()-1. Example:
elements = (5,6,6,7,8,8) --> distinctValues = (5,6,7,8), frequencies = (1,2,1,2)

Parameters:
sortedData - the data; must be sorted ascending.
distinctValues - a list to be filled with the distinct values; can have any size.
frequencies - a list to be filled with the frequencies; can have any size; set this parameter to null to ignore it.

geometricMean

public static double geometricMean(int size,
                                   double sumOfLogarithms)
Returns the geometric mean of a data sequence. Note that for a geometric mean to be meaningful, the minimum of the data sequence must not be less or equal to zero.
The geometric mean is given by pow( Product( data[i] ), 1/size) which is equivalent to Math.exp( Sum( Log(data[i]) ) / size).


geometricMean

public static double geometricMean(double[] data)
Returns the geometric mean of a data sequence. Note that for a geometric mean to be meaningful, the minimum of the data sequence must not be less or equal to zero.
The geometric mean is given by pow( Product( data[i] ), 1/data.length). This method tries to avoid overflows at the expense of an equivalent but somewhat slow definition: geo = Math.exp( Sum( Log(data[i]) ) / data.length).

                                  double sumOfInversions)

incrementalUpdate

public static void incrementalUpdate(double[] data,
                                     int from,
                                     int to,
                                     double[] inOut)
Incrementally maintains and updates minimum, maximum, sum and sum of squares of a data sequence. Assume we have already recorded some data sequence elements and know their minimum, maximum, sum and sum of squares. Assume further, we are to record some more elements and to derive updated values of minimum, maximum, sum and sum of squares.

This method computes those updated values without needing to know the already recorded elements. This is interesting for interactive online monitoring and/or applications that cannot keep the entire huge data sequence in memory.


Definition of sumOfSquares: sumOfSquares(n) = Sum ( data[i] * data[i] ).

Parameters:
data - the additional elements to be incorporated into min, max, etc.
from - the index of the first element within data to consider.
to - the index of the last element within data to consider. The method incorporates elements data[from], ..., data[to].
inOut - the old values in the following format:
  • inOut[0] is the old minimum.
  • inOut[1] is the old maximum.
  • inOut[2] is the old sum.
  • inOut[3] is the old sum of squares.
If no data sequence elements have so far been recorded set the values as follows
  • inOut[0] = Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY as the old minimum.
  • inOut[1] = Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY as the old maximum.
  • inOut[2] = 0.0 as the old sum.
  • inOut[3] = 0.0 as the old sum of squares.

Returns the updated values filled into the inOut array.


incrementalUpdateSumsOfPowers

public static void incrementalUpdateSumsOfPowers(double[] data,
                                                 int from,
                                                 int to,
                                                 int fromSumIndex,
                                                 int toSumIndex,
                                                 double[] sumOfPowers)
Incrementally maintains and updates various sums of powers of the form Sum(data[i]k). Assume we have already recorded some data sequence elements data[i] and know the values of Sum(data[i]from), Sum(data[i]from+1), ..., Sum(data[i]to). Assume further, we are to record some more elements and to derive updated values of these sums.

This method computes those updated values without needing to know the already recorded elements. This is interesting for interactive online monitoring and/or applications that cannot keep the entire huge data sequence in memory. For example, the incremental computation of moments is based upon such sums of powers:

The moment of k-th order with constant c of a data sequence, is given by Sum( (data[i]-c)k ) / data.length. It can incrementally be computed by using the equivalent formula

moment(k,c) = m(k,c) / data.length where
m(k,c) = Sum( -1i * b(k,i) * ci * sumOfPowers(k-i)) for i = 0 .. k and
b(k,i) = binomial(k,i) and
sumOfPowers(k) = Sum( data[i]k ).

Parameters:
data - the additional elements to be incorporated into min, max, etc.
from - the index of the first element within data to consider.
to - the index of the last element within data to consider. The method incorporates elements data[from], ..., data[to].
  • sumOfPowers[0] is the old Sum(data[i]fromSumIndex).
  • sumOfPowers[1] is the old Sum(data[i]fromSumIndex+1).
  • ...
  • sumOfPowers[toSumIndex-fromSumIndex] is the old Sum(data[i]toSumIndex).
If no data sequence elements have so far been recorded set all old values of the sums to 0.0.

Returns the updated values filled into the sumOfPowers array.

public static void incrementalWeightedUpdate(double[] data,
                                             double[] weights,
                                             int from,
                                             int to,
                                             double[] inOut)
Incrementally maintains and updates sum and sum of squares of a weighted data sequence. Assume we have already recorded some data sequence elements and know their sum and sum of squares. Assume further, we are to record some more elements and to derive updated values of sum and sum of squares.

This method computes those updated values without needing to know the already recorded elements. This is interesting for interactive online monitoring and/or applications that cannot keep the entire huge data sequence in memory.


Definition of sum: sum = Sum ( data[i] * weights[i] ).
Definition of sumOfSquares: sumOfSquares = Sum ( data[i] * data[i] * weights[i]).

to - the index of the last element within data (and weights) to consider. The method incorporates elements data[from], ..., data[to].

  • inOut[0] is the old sum.
  • inOut[1] is the old sum of squares.
If no data sequence elements have so far been recorded set the values as follows
  • inOut[0] = 0.0 as the old sum.
  • inOut[1] = 0.0 as the old sum of squares.

Returns the updated values filled into the inOut array.
