public interface Distribution

This interface should be implemented by all classes supporting discrete and continuous distributions. It specifies the signature of methods that compute the distribution function F(x), the complementary distribution function bar(F)(x), and the inverse distribution function F-1(u). It also specifies the signature of methods that returns the mean, the variance and the standard deviation.


Method Summary
 double barF(double x)
          Returns bar(F)(x) = 1 - F(x).
 double cdf(double x)
          Computes and returns the distribution function F(x).
 double getMean()
          Returns the mean of the distribution function.
 double getStandardDeviation()
          Returns the standard deviation of the distribution function.
 double getVariance()
          Returns the variance of the distribution function.
 double inverseF(double u)
          Computes and returns the inverse distribution function F-1(u), defined in.
 

Method Detail
