    • Method Detail

      • density

        public double density​(double x)
        Returns the probability density function (PDF) of this distribution evaluated at the specified point x. In general, the PDF is the derivative of the CDF. If the derivative does not exist at x, then an appropriate replacement should be returned, e.g. Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY, Double.NaN, or the limit inferior or limit superior of the difference quotient.
        Parameters:
        x - the point at which the PDF is evaluated
        Returns:
        the value of the probability density function at point x
      • cumulativeProbability

        public double cumulativeProbability​(double x)
        For a random variable X whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returns P(X <= x). In other words, this method represents the (cumulative) distribution function (CDF) for this distribution.
        Parameters:
        x - the point at which the CDF is evaluated
        Returns:
        the probability that a random variable with this distribution takes a value less than or equal to x
      • cumulativeProbability

        public double cumulativeProbability​(double x0,
                                            double x1)
                                     throws org.apache.commons.math3.exception.NumberIsTooLargeException
        Description copied from interface: Distribution
        For a random variable X whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returns P(x0 < X <= x1).
        Parameters:
        x0 - the exclusive lower bound
        x1 - the inclusive upper bound
        Returns:
        the probability that a random variable with this distribution takes a value between x0 and x1, excluding the lower and including the upper endpoint
        Throws:
        org.apache.commons.math3.exception.NumberIsTooLargeException - if x0 > x1
      • inverseCumulativeProbability

        public double inverseCumulativeProbability​(double p)
                                            throws org.apache.commons.math3.exception.OutOfRangeException
        Description copied from class: BaseDistribution
        Computes the quantile function of this distribution. For a random variable X distributed according to this distribution, the returned value is
        • inf{x in R | P(X<=x) >= p} for 0 < p <= 1,
        • inf{x in R | P(X<=x) > 0} for p = 0.

        The default implementation returns

        Specified by:
        inverseCumulativeProbability in interface Distribution
        Overrides:
        inverseCumulativeProbability in class BaseDistribution
        Parameters:
        p - the cumulative probability
        Returns:
        the smallest p-quantile of this distribution (largest 0-quantile for p = 0)
        Throws:
        org.apache.commons.math3.exception.OutOfRangeException - if p < 0 or p > 1
      • getNumericalMean

        public double getNumericalMean()
        Use this method to get the numerical value of the mean of this distribution.

        For lower bound lower and upper bound upper, the mean is 0.5 * (lower + upper).

        Returns:
        the mean or Double.NaN if it is not defined
      • getNumericalVariance

        public double getNumericalVariance()
        Use this method to get the numerical value of the variance of this distribution.

        Returns:
        the variance (possibly Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY as for certain cases in TDistribution) or Double.NaN if it is not defined
      • getSupportLowerBound

        public double getSupportLowerBound()
        Access the lower bound of the support. This method must return the same value as inverseCumulativeProbability(0). In other words, this method must return

        inf {x in R | P(X <= x) > 0}.

        The lower bound of the support is equal to the lower bound parameter of the distribution.

      • getSupportUpperBound

        public double getSupportUpperBound()
        Access the upper bound of the support. This method must return the same value as inverseCumulativeProbability(1). In other words, this method must return

        inf {x in R | P(X <= x) = 1}.

        The upper bound of the support is equal to the upper bound parameter of the distribution.

        Returns:
        upper bound of the support
      • isSupportLowerBoundInclusive

        public boolean isSupportLowerBoundInclusive()
        Whether or not the lower bound of support is in the domain of the density function. Returns true iff getSupporLowerBound() is finite and density(getSupportLowerBound()) returns a non-NaN, non-infinite value.
        Returns:
        true if the lower bound of support is finite and the density function returns a non-NaN, non-infinite value there
      • isSupportUpperBoundInclusive

        public boolean isSupportUpperBoundInclusive()

        true
