Statistics tool based on incremental accumulation.
It can accumulate a set of data and return statistics (e.g: mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, error estimation, etc.)
| Real standardDeviation | ( | ) | const |
returns the standard deviation
, defined as the square root of the variance.
| Real errorEstimate | ( | ) | const |
returns the error estimate
, defined as the square root of the ratio of the variance to the number of samples.
returns the skewness, defined as
The above evaluates to 0 for a Gaussian distribution.
returns the excess kurtosis, defined as
The above evaluates to 0 for a Gaussian distribution.
| Real downsideVariance | ( | ) | const |
returns the downside variance, defined as
, where
= 0 if x > 0 and
=1 if x <0
| Real downsideDeviation | ( | ) | const |
returns the downside deviation, defined as the square root of the downside variance.
adds a datum to the set, possibly with a weight
| void addSequence | ( | DataIterator | begin, |
| DataIterator | end, | ||
| WeightIterator | wbegin | ||
| ) |
adds a sequence of data to the set, each with its weight
