      org.apache.commons.math.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' `AggregateSummaryStatistics.AggregatingSummaryStatistics.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 unecessary computation and synchronization delays.

Field Detail

### serialVersionUID

    private static final long serialVersionUID

  Serializable version identifier

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### statisticsPrototype

    private final SummaryStatistics statisticsPrototype

  A SummaryStatistics serving as a prototype for creating SummaryStatistics contributing to this aggregate

### statistics

    private final SummaryStatistics statistics

  The SummaryStatistics in which aggregate statistics are accumulated.

Constructor Detail

### AggregateSummaryStatistics

    public AggregateSummaryStatistics()

  Initializes a new AggregateSummaryStatistics with default statistics implementations.

### AggregateSummaryStatistics

    public AggregateSummaryStatistics(SummaryStatistics prototypeStatistics)

  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.
  See Also:
    `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
