## Class AggregateSummaryStatistics

• java.lang.Object
• org.apache.commons.math3.stat.descriptive.AggregateSummaryStatistics
• All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, StatisticalSummary

public class AggregateSummaryStatistics
extends Object
implements StatisticalSummary, Serializable

An aggregator for SummaryStatistics from several data sets or data set partitions. In its simplest usage mode, the client creates an instance via the zero-argument constructor, then uses createContributingStatistics() to obtain a SummaryStatistics for each individual data set / partition. The per-set statistics objects are used as normal, and at any time the aggregate statistics for all the contributors can be obtained from this object.

Clients with specialized requirements can use alternative constructors to control the statistics implementations and initial values used by the contributing and the internal aggregate SummaryStatistics objects.

A static aggregate(Collection) method is also included that computes aggregate statistics directly from a Collection of SummaryStatistics instances.

When createContributingStatistics() is used to create SummaryStatistics instances to be aggregated concurrently, the created instances' SummaryStatistics.addValue(double) methods must synchronize on the aggregating instance maintained by this class. In multithreaded environments, if the functionality provided by aggregate(Collection) is adequate, that method should be used to avoid unnecessary computation and synchronization delays.

• ### Constructor Detail

• #### AggregateSummaryStatistics

public AggregateSummaryStatistics()
Initializes a new AggregateSummaryStatistics with default statistics implementations.
• #### AggregateSummaryStatistics

public AggregateSummaryStatistics(SummaryStatistics prototypeStatistics)
throws NullArgumentException
Initializes a new AggregateSummaryStatistics with the specified statistics object as a prototype for contributing statistics and for the internal aggregate statistics. This provides for customized statistics implementations to be used by contributing and aggregate statistics.
Parameters:
prototypeStatistics - a SummaryStatistics serving as a prototype both for the internal aggregate statistics and for contributing statistics obtained via the createContributingStatistics() method. Being a prototype means that other objects are initialized by copying this object's state. If null, a new, default statistics object is used. Any statistic values in the prototype are propagated to contributing statistics objects and (once) into these aggregate statistics.
Throws:
NullArgumentException - if prototypeStatistics is null
createContributingStatistics()
• #### AggregateSummaryStatistics

public AggregateSummaryStatistics(SummaryStatistics prototypeStatistics,
SummaryStatistics initialStatistics)
Initializes a new AggregateSummaryStatistics with the specified statistics object as a prototype for contributing statistics and for the internal aggregate statistics. This provides for different statistics implementations to be used by contributing and aggregate statistics and for an initial state to be supplied for the aggregate statistics.
Parameters:
prototypeStatistics - a SummaryStatistics serving as a prototype both for the internal aggregate statistics and for contributing statistics obtained via the createContributingStatistics() method. Being a prototype means that other objects are initialized by copying this object's state. If null, a new, default statistics object is used. Any statistic values in the prototype are propagated to contributing statistics objects, but not into these aggregate statistics.
initialStatistics - a SummaryStatistics to serve as the internal aggregate statistics object. If null, a new, default statistics object is used.
createContributingStatistics()
• ### Method Detail

• #### getMax

public double getMax()
Returns the maximum of the available values. This version returns the maximum over all the aggregated data.
Specified by:
getMax in interface StatisticalSummary
Returns:
The max or Double.NaN if no values have been added.
StatisticalSummary.getMax()
• #### getMean

public double getMean()
Returns the arithmetic mean of the available values. This version returns the mean of all the aggregated data.
Specified by:
getMean in interface StatisticalSummary
Returns:
The mean or Double.NaN if no values have been added.
StatisticalSummary.getMean()
• #### getMin

public double getMin()
Returns the minimum of the available values. This version returns the minimum over all the aggregated data.
Specified by:
getMin in interface StatisticalSummary
Returns:
The min or Double.NaN if no values have been added.
StatisticalSummary.getMin()
• #### getN

public long getN()
Returns the number of available values. This version returns a count of all the aggregated data.
Specified by:
getN in interface StatisticalSummary
Returns:
The number of available values
StatisticalSummary.getN()
• #### getStandardDeviation

public double getStandardDeviation()
Returns the standard deviation of the available values.. This version returns the standard deviation of all the aggregated data.
Specified by:
getStandardDeviation in interface StatisticalSummary
Returns:
The standard deviation, Double.NaN if no values have been added or 0.0 for a single value set.
StatisticalSummary.getStandardDeviation()
• #### getSum

public double getSum()
Returns the sum of the values that have been added to Univariate.. This version returns a sum of all the aggregated data.
Specified by:
getSum in interface StatisticalSummary

The sum or Double.NaN if no values have been added

• #### getSumsq

public double getSumsq()
Returns the sum of the squares of all the aggregated data.
Returns:
The sum of squares
SummaryStatistics.getSumsq()
• #### getSecondMoment

public double getSecondMoment()
Returns a statistic related to the Second Central Moment. Specifically, what is returned is the sum of squared deviations from the sample mean among the all of the aggregated data.

• #### aggregate

public static StatisticalSummaryValues aggregate(Collection<SummaryStatistics> statistics)
Computes aggregate summary statistics. This method can be used to combine statistics computed over partitions or subsamples - i.e., the StatisticalSummaryValues returned should contain the same values that would have been obtained by computing a single StatisticalSummary over the combined dataset.

Returns null if the collection is empty or null.

Parameters:
statistics - collection of SummaryStatistics to aggregate
Returns:
summary statistics for the combined dataset
