Constructor Details

PamHistogram

public PamHistogram(double minVal,
 double maxVal,
 int nBins)

Constructs a histogram object with minVal and maxVal, specifying the low edge of the lowest bin and the high edge of the highest bin respectively.

Parameters:

minVal - min Value

maxVal - max Value

nBins - number of bins

PamHistogram

public PamHistogram(double minVal,
 double maxVal,
 int nBins,
 boolean binCentres)

Constructs a histogram object where minVal and maxVal specify the centres of the lower and upper bins (true) or the lower edge of the lowest bin and the upper edge of the highest bin (false)

Parameters:

minVal - minimum value (low edge or low bin centre, depending on binCentres parameter)

maxVal - maximum value (high edge or high bin centre, depending on binCentres parameter)

nBins - total number of bins

binCentres - specifies whether the minVal and maxVal specify the centres of the lower and upper bins (true) or the lower edge of the lowest bin and the upper edge of the highest bin (false)

Method Details

setRange

public void setRange(double minVal,
 double maxVal,
 int nBins)

Sets the histogram bin ranges.

Note that calling this function will reset the histogram data.

Parameters:

minVal - minimum value (low edge or low bin centre, depending on binCentres parameter)

maxVal - maximum value (high edge or high bin centre, depending on binCentres parameter)

nBins - total number of bins

getBin

public int getBin(double dataValue)

Work out which bin a particular value will call into. N.B. This may return invalid input: '<' 0 or >= getNBins() if the data fall outsied the range of the histogram

Parameters:

dataValue -

Returns:

bin Bumber

getBinCentre

public double getBinCentre(int iBin)

setData

public void setData(int[] data)

Set the histogram data

Parameters:

data - array must be same length as data array in histogram.

addData

public void addData(double newData,
 boolean notify)

Add a single unit value to the histogram and optionally notify all observers

Parameters:

newData - value of the new data

addData

public void addData(double newData)

Add a single point of data to the histogram but don't notify observers

Parameters:

newData - new data point

addData

public void addData(double newData,
 double weight)

Add weighted data to the histogram

Parameters:

newData - value of the data

weight - weight to apply

clear

public void clear()

Clear all histogram contents

scaleData

public void scaleData(double scaleFactor)

Scale the data in the histogram by the given factor

This is used in various parts of PAMGUARD which wish to keep a decaying average distribution - every few seconds the data are halved (or some such) so that all data are represented, but recent data will carry more weight in the distributions.

Parameters:

scaleFactor - FActor to scale data by (generally invalid input: '<' 1)

getMaxContent

public double getMaxContent()

Get max bin content, including lo and high fields.

Returns:

max bin content.

getMean

public double getMean()

Calculate the mean of the histogram data

Returns:

mean value

getSTD

public double getSTD()

Return the standard deviation of the histogram data

Returns:

standard deviation

getVariance

public double getVariance()

Return the variance of the histogram data

Returns:

get variance of distribution in histogram

getSkew

public double getSkew()

Get the skewness of the distribution (third moment)

Returns:

skew

getKurtosis

public double getKurtosis()

Get the kurtosis of the distribution (fourth moment) taking the definition from Numerical recipes in C p 612

Returns:

kurtosis

getMode

public double getMode()

Get's the modal value of the distribution

Returns:

value of the bin centre for the most populated bin

getTotalContent

public double getTotalContent()

Get's the sum total of all bin contents, excluding lo and high bins
