Class SumOfSquares

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.statistics.descriptive.SumOfSquares

All Implemented Interfaces:

DoubleConsumer, DoubleSupplier, IntSupplier, LongSupplier, DoubleStatistic, StatisticAccumulator<SumOfSquares>, StatisticResult

public final class SumOfSquares
extends Object
implements DoubleStatistic, StatisticAccumulator<SumOfSquares>

Returns the sum of the squares of the available values. Uses the following definition:

\[ \sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2 \]

where \( n \) is the number of samples.

• The result is zero if no values are observed.
• The result is NaN if any of the values is NaN.
• The result is +infinity if any of the values is infinity, or the sum overflows.

This class is designed to work with (though does not require) streams.

This instance is not thread safe. If multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least one of the threads invokes the accept or combine method, it must be synchronized externally.

However, it is safe to use accept and combine as accumulator and combiner functions of Collector on a parallel stream, because the parallel instance of Stream.collect() provides the necessary partitioning, isolation, and merging of results for safe and efficient parallel execution.

Since:

Method Detail

create

public static SumOfSquares create()

Creates an instance.

The initial result is zero.

Returns:

SumOfSquares instance.

of

public static SumOfSquares of(double... values)

Returns an instance populated using the input values.

The result is NaN if any of the values is NaN or the product at any point is a NaN.

When the input is an empty array, the result is zero.

Parameters:

values - Values.

Returns:

SumOfSquares instance.

accept

public void accept(double value)

Updates the state of the statistic to reflect the addition of value.

Specified by:

accept in interface DoubleConsumer

Parameters:

value - Value.

getAsDouble

public double getAsDouble()

Gets the sum of squares of all input values.

When no values have been added, the result is zero.

Specified by:

getAsDouble in interface DoubleSupplier

Returns:

sum of squares of all values.

combine

public SumOfSquares combine(SumOfSquares other)

Description copied from interface: StatisticAccumulator

Combines the state of the other statistic into this one.

Specified by:

combine in interface StatisticAccumulator<SumOfSquares>

Parameters:

other - Another statistic to be combined.

Returns:

this instance after combining other.
