Class SecondMoment

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.math3.stat.descriptive.AbstractUnivariateStatistic

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, StorelessUnivariateStatistic, UnivariateStatistic, MathArrays.Function
public class SecondMoment extends AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic implements Serializable
Computes a statistic related to the Second Central Moment. Specifically, what is computed is the sum of squared deviations from the sample mean.

The following recursive updating formula is used:

Let

  • dev = (current obs - previous mean)
  • n = number of observations (including current obs)
Then

new value = old value + dev^2 * (n -1) / n.

Returns Double.NaN if no data values have been added and returns 0 if there is just one value in the data set. Note that Double.NaN may also be returned if the input includes NaN and / or infinite values.

Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least one of the threads invokes the increment() or clear() method, it must be synchronized externally.
