        capacity - The initial capacity for the data set (this number of values will be able to be added without needing to resize the internal data storage).

        Returns:
        The biggest value in the data set.

        Determines the median value of the data set.
        Returns:
        If the number of elements is odd, returns the middle element. If the number of elements is even, returns the midpoint of the two middle elements.
        Since:
        1.0.1
      • getAggregate

        public final double getAggregate()
        Returns:
        The sum of all values.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.
      • getProduct

        public final double getProduct()
        Returns:
        The product of all values.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.
      • getArithmeticMean

        public final double getArithmeticMean()
        The arithemthic mean of an n-element set is the sum of all the elements divided by n. The arithmetic mean is often referred to simply as the "mean" or "average" of a data set.
        Returns:
        The arithmetic mean of all elements in the data set.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.
        See Also:
        getGeometricMean()
      • getGeometricMean

        public final double getGeometricMean()
        The geometric mean of an n-element set is the nth-root of the product of all the elements. The geometric mean is used for finding the average factor (e.g. an average interest rate).
        Returns:
        The geometric mean of all elements in the data set.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.
        See Also:
        getArithmeticMean(), getHarmonicMean()
      • getHarmonicMean

        public final double getHarmonicMean()
        The harmonic mean of an n-element set is n divided by the sum of the reciprocals of the values (where the reciprocal of a value x is 1/x). The harmonic mean is used to calculate an average rate (e.g. an average speed).
        Returns:
        The harmonic mean of all the elements in the data set.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.
        Since:
        1.1

      • getMeanDeviation

        public final double getMeanDeviation()
        Calculates the mean absolute deviation of the data set. This is the average (absolute) amount that a single value deviates from the arithmetic mean.
        Returns:
        The mean absolute deviation of the data set.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.

      • getVariance

        public final double getVariance()
        Calculates the variance (a measure of statistical dispersion) of the data set. There are different measures of variance depending on whether the data set is itself a finite population or is a sample from some larger population. For large data sets the difference is negligible. This method calculates the population variance.
        Returns:
        The population variance of the data set.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.
        See Also:
        getSampleVariance(), getStandardDeviation(), getMeanDeviation()
      • getStandardDeviation

        public final double getStandardDeviation()
        The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. This method calculates the population standard deviation as opposed to the sample standard deviation. For large data sets the difference is negligible.
        Returns:
        The standard deviation of the population.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.

      • getSampleVariance

        public final double getSampleVariance()
        Calculates the variance (a measure of statistical dispersion) of the data set. There are different measures of variance depending on whether the data set is itself a finite population or is a sample from some larger population. For large data sets the difference is negligible. This method calculates the sample variance.
        Returns:
        The sample variance of the data set.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.

      • getSampleStandardDeviation

        public final double getSampleStandardDeviation()
        The sample standard deviation is the square root of the sample variance. For large data sets the difference between sample standard deviation and population standard deviation is negligible.
        Returns:
        The sample standard deviation of the data set.
        Throws:
        EmptyDataSetException - If the data set is empty.
