      public QADistribution(boolean sort, boolean integrate)
      Parameters:
      sort - sort the data in ascending order.
      integrate - data will be integrated (e.g. to generate click times rather than inter-click intervals)

  • Method Details Link icon

    • getValues Link icon

      public final double[] getValues(int nValues)
      Create a set of random values according to the underlying distribution.

      Concrete classes should override createValues rather than this getValues function, leaving getValues to sort and integrate as required

      Parameters:
      nValues - number of values to generate.
      Returns:
      array of values.

    • getRange Link icon

      public abstract double[] getRange(double nSigma)
      Get the range of the distrubution. How this is defined is a little nebulous, for Guassian like distributions its the mean +/- n standard deviations.
      Parameters:
      nSigma - number of Standard Deviations (or equivalents).
      Returns:
      The range of values.

    • getRange Link icon

      public double[] getRange()
      Get the range of the distrubution. How this is defined is a little nebulous, for Guassian like distributions its the mean +/- n standard deviations.
      Parameters:
      nSDs - number of Standard Deviations (or equivalents).
      Returns:
      The range of values.

    • isSort Link icon

      public boolean isSort()
      Returns:
      the sort

    • setSort Link icon

      public void setSort(boolean sort)
      Parameters:
      sort - the sort to set

    • isIntegrate Link icon

      public boolean isIntegrate()
      Returns:
      the integrate

    • setIntegrate Link icon

      public void setIntegrate(boolean integrate)
      Parameters:
      integrate - the integrate to set
