Class BoxAndWhiskerCalculator
java.lang.Object
org.jfree.data.statistics.BoxAndWhiskerCalculator
A utility class that calculates the mean, median, quartiles Q1 and Q3, plus
a list of outlier values...all from an arbitrary list of
Number
objects.
calculateBoxAndWhiskerStatistics
public static BoxAndWhiskerItem calculateBoxAndWhiskerStatistics(List values)
Calculates the statistics required for a
BoxAndWhiskerItem
from a list of
Number
objects. Any items in the list
that are
null
, not an instance of
Number
, or
equivalent to
Double.NaN
, will be ignored.
values
- a list of numbers (a null
list is not
permitted).
calculateBoxAndWhiskerStatistics
public static BoxAndWhiskerItem calculateBoxAndWhiskerStatistics(List values,
boolean stripNullAndNaNItems)
Calculates the statistics required for a
BoxAndWhiskerItem
from a list of
Number
objects. Any items in the list
that are
null
, not an instance of
Number
, or
equivalent to
Double.NaN
, will be ignored.
values
- a list of numbers (a null
list is not
permitted).stripNullAndNaNItems
- a flag that controls the handling of null
and NaN items.
calculateQ1
public static double calculateQ1(List values)
Calculates the first quartile for a list of numbers in ascending order.
If the items in the list are not in ascending order, the result is
unspecified. If the list contains items that are null
, not
an instance of Number
, or equivalent to
Double.NaN
, the result is unspecified.
values
- the numbers in ascending order (null
not
permitted).
calculateQ3
public static double calculateQ3(List values)
Calculates the third quartile for a list of numbers in ascending order.
If the items in the list are not in ascending order, the result is
unspecified. If the list contains items that are null
, not
an instance of Number
, or equivalent to
Double.NaN
, the result is unspecified.
values
