Field Detail

TWO

public static final java.math.BigDecimal TWO
Constructor Detail

BigDecimalMathUtils

protected BigDecimalMathUtils()
Method Detail

sum

public static java.math.BigDecimal sum(java.util.List<java.math.BigDecimal> numbers)
Returns the sum number in the numbers list.

Parameters:
numbers - the numbers to calculate the sum.
Returns:
the sum of the numbers.

mean

public static java.math.BigDecimal mean(java.util.List<java.math.BigDecimal> numbers,
                                        java.math.MathContext context)
Returns the mean number in the numbers list.

Parameters:
numbers - the numbers to calculate the mean.
context - the MathContext.
Returns:
the mean of the numbers.

min

public static java.math.BigDecimal min(java.util.List<java.math.BigDecimal> numbers)
Returns the min number in the numbers list.

Parameters:
numbers - the numbers to calculate the min.
Returns:
the min number in the numbers list.

max

public static java.math.BigDecimal max(java.util.List<java.math.BigDecimal> numbers)
Returns the max number in the numbers list.

Parameters:
numbers - the numbers to calculate the max.
Returns:
the max number in the numbers list.

stddev

public static java.math.BigDecimal stddev(java.util.List<java.math.BigDecimal> numbers,
                                          boolean biasCorrected,
                                          java.math.MathContext context)
Returns the standard deviation of the numbers.

Double.NaN is returned if the numbers list is empty.

Parameters:
numbers - the numbers to calculate the standard deviation.
biasCorrected - true if variance is calculated by dividing by n - 1. False if by n. stddev is a sqrt of the variance.
context - the MathContext
Returns:
the standard deviation

var

public static java.math.BigDecimal var(java.util.List<java.math.BigDecimal> numbers,
                                       boolean biasCorrected,
                                       java.math.MathContext context)
Computes the variance of the available values. By default, the unbiased "sample variance" definitional formula is used: variance = sum((x_i - mean)^2) / (n - 1)

The "population variance" ( sum((x_i - mean)^2) / n ) can also be computed using this statistic. The biasCorrected property determines whether the "population" or "sample" value is returned by the evaluate and getResult methods. To compute population variances, set this property to false.

Parameters:
numbers - the numbers to calculate the variance.
biasCorrected - true if variance is calculated by dividing by n - 1. False if by n.
context - the MathContext
Returns:
the variance of the numbers.

sqrt

public static java.math.BigDecimal sqrt(java.math.BigDecimal number)
Calcualtes the square root of the number.

Parameters:
number - the input number.
Returns:
the square root of the input number.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
