- All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable
@GwtIncompatible public final class Stats extends java.lang.Object implements java.io.Serializable
A bundle of statistical summary values -- sum, count, mean/average, min and max, and several forms of variance -- that were computed from a single set of zero or more floating-point values.There are two ways to obtain a
Stats
instance:- If all the values you want to summarize are already known, use the appropriate
Stats.of
factory method below. Primitive arrays, iterables and iterators of any kind ofNumber
, and primitive varargs are supported. - Or, to avoid storing up all the data first, create a
StatsAccumulator
instance, feed values to it as you get them, then callStatsAccumulator.snapshot()
.
Static convenience methods called
meanOf
are also provided for users who wish to calculate only the mean.Java 8 users: If you are not using any of the variance statistics, you may wish to use built-in JDK libraries instead of this class.

of
public static Stats of(java.lang.Iterable<? extends java.lang.Number> values)
Returns statistics over a dataset containing the given values.- Parameters:
values
- a series of values, which will be converted todouble
values (this may cause loss of precision)
-
of
public static Stats of(java.util.Iterator<? extends java.lang.Number> values)
Returns statistics over a dataset containing the given values. The iterator will be completely consumed by this method.- Parameters:
values
- a series of values, which will be converted todouble
values (this may cause loss of precision)
-
of
public static Stats of(double... values)
Returns statistics over a dataset containing the given values.- Parameters:
values
- a series of values
-
of
public static Stats of(int... values)
Returns statistics over a dataset containing the given values.- Parameters:
values
- a series of values
-
of
public static Stats of(long... values)
Returns statistics over a dataset containing the given values.- Parameters:
values
- a series of values, which will be converted todouble
values (this may cause loss of precision for longs of magnitude over 2^53 (slightly over 9e15))
-
count
public long count()
Returns the number of values.
-
mean
public double mean()
Returns the arithmetic mean of the values. The count must be non-zero.If these values are a sample drawn from a population, this is also an unbiased estimator of the arithmetic mean of the population.
Non-finite values
If the dataset contains
Double.NaN
then the result isDouble.NaN
. If it contains bothDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
andDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
then the result isDouble.NaN
. If it containsDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
and finite values only orDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
only, the result isDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
. If it containsDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
and finite values only orDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
only, the result isDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
.If you only want to calculate the mean, use
meanOf(java.lang.Iterable<? extends java.lang.Number>)
instead of creating aStats
instance.- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- if the dataset is empty
-
sum
public double sum()
Returns the sum of the values.Non-finite values
If the dataset contains
Double.NaN
then the result isDouble.NaN
. If it contains bothDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
andDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
then the result isDouble.NaN
. If it containsDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
and finite values only orDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
only, the result isDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
. If it containsDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
and finite values only orDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
only, the result isDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
.

populationVariance
public double populationVariance()
Returns the population variance of the values. The count must be non-zero.This is guaranteed to return zero if the dataset contains only exactly one finite value. It is not guaranteed to return zero when the dataset consists of the same value multiple times, due to numerical errors. However, it is guaranteed never to return a negative result.
Non-finite values
If the dataset contains any non-finite values (
Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY
,Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
, orDouble.NaN
) then the result isDouble.NaN
.- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- if the dataset is empty
-
populationStandardDeviation
public double populationStandardDeviation()
Returns the population standard deviation of the values. The count must be non-zero.This is guaranteed to return zero if the dataset contains only exactly one finite value. It is not guaranteed to return zero when the dataset consists of the same value multiple times, due to numerical errors. However, it is guaranteed never to return a negative result.
Non-finite values
If the dataset contains any non-finite values (
Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY
,Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
, orDouble.NaN
) then the result isDouble.NaN
.- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- if the dataset is empty
-
sampleVariance
public double sampleVariance()
Returns the unbiased sample variance of the values. If this dataset is a sample drawn from a population, this is an unbiased estimator of the population variance of the population. The count must be greater than one.This is not guaranteed to return zero when the dataset consists of the same value multiple times, due to numerical errors. However, it is guaranteed never to return a negative result.
Non-finite values
If the dataset contains any non-finite values (
Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY
,Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
, orDouble.NaN
) then the result isDouble.NaN
.- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- if the dataset is empty or contains a single value
-
sampleStandardDeviation
public double sampleStandardDeviation()
Returns the corrected sample standard deviation of the values. If this dataset is a sample drawn from a population, this is an estimator of the population standard deviation of the population which is less biased thanpopulationStandardDeviation()
(the unbiased estimator depends on the distribution). The count must be greater than one.This is not guaranteed to return zero when the dataset consists of the same value multiple times, due to numerical errors. However, it is guaranteed never to return a negative result.
Non-finite values
If the dataset contains any non-finite values (
Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY
,Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
, orDouble.NaN
) then the result isDouble.NaN
.- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- if the dataset is empty or contains a single value
-
min
public double min()
Returns the lowest value in the dataset. The count must be non-zero.Non-finite values
If the dataset contains
Double.NaN
then the result isDouble.NaN
. If it containsDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
and notDouble.NaN
then the result isDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
. If it containsDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
and finite values only then the result is the lowest finite value. If it containsDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
only then the result isDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
.- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- if the dataset is empty
-
max
public double max()
Returns the highest value in the dataset. The count must be non-zero.Non-finite values
If the dataset contains
Double.NaN
then the result isDouble.NaN
. If it containsDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
and notDouble.NaN
then the result isDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
. If it containsDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
and finite values only then the result is the highest finite value. If it containsDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
only then the result isDouble.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
.- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- if the dataset is empty
-
equals
public boolean equals(@CheckForNull java.lang.Object obj)
Note: This tests exact equality of the calculated statistics, including the floating point values. Two instances are guaranteed to be considered equal if one is copied from the other using
second = new StatsAccumulator().addAll(first).snapshot()
, if both were obtained by callingsnapshot()
on the sameStatsAccumulator
without adding any values in between the two calls, or if one is obtained from the other after round-tripping through java serialization. However, floating point rounding errors mean that it may be false for some instances where the statistics are mathematically equal, including instances constructed from the same values in a different order... or (in the general case) even in the same order. (It is guaranteed to return true for instances constructed from the same values in the same order ifstrictfp
is in effect, or if the system architecture guaranteesstrictfp
-like semantics.)- Overrides:
equals
in classjava.lang.Object
-
hashCode
