Method Detail

clone

public WeibullDistribution clone()

Description copied from class: AbstractCloneableSerializable

This makes public the clone method on the Object class and removes the exception that it throws. Its default behavior is to automatically create a clone of the exact type of object that the clone is called on and to copy all primitives but to keep all references, which means it is a shallow copy. Extensions of this class may want to override this method (but call super.clone() to implement a "smart copy". That is, to target the most common use case for creating a copy of the object. Because of the default behavior being a shallow copy, extending classes only need to handle fields that need to have a deeper copy (or those that need to be reset). Some of the methods in ObjectUtil may be helpful in implementing a custom clone method. Note: The contract of this method is that you must use super.clone() as the basis for your implementation.

Specified by:

clone in interface Vectorizable

Specified by:

clone in interface CloneableSerializable

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractClosedFormUnivariateDistribution<java.lang.Double>

Returns:

A clone of this object.

getShape

public double getShape()

Getter for shape

Returns:

Shape parameter, must be greater than 0.0

setShape

public void setShape(double shape)

Setter for shape

Parameters:

shape - Shape parameter, must be greater than 0.0

getScale

public double getScale()

Getter for scale

Returns:

Scale parameter, must be greater than 0.0

setScale

public void setScale(double scale)

Setter for scale

Parameters:

scale - Scale parameter, must be greater than 0.0

getMeanAsDouble

public double getMeanAsDouble()

Description copied from interface: UnivariateDistribution

Gets the mean of the distribution as a double.

Returns:

The mean as a double.

getVariance

public double getVariance()

Description copied from interface: UnivariateDistribution

Gets the variance of the distribution. This is sometimes called the second central moment by more pedantic people, which is equivalent to the square of the standard deviation.

Returns:

Variance of the distribution.

sampleAsDouble

public double sampleAsDouble(java.util.Random random)

Description copied from interface: SmoothUnivariateDistribution

Samples a value from this distribution as a double. This is a convenience method to potentially avoid boxing.

Specified by:

sampleAsDouble in interface SmoothUnivariateDistribution

Overrides:

sampleAsDouble in class AbstractClosedFormSmoothUnivariateDistribution

Parameters:

random - Random number generator to use.

Returns:

A value sampled from this distribution.

sampleInto

public void sampleInto(java.util.Random random,
                       double[] output,
                       int start,
                       int length)

Description copied from interface: SmoothUnivariateDistribution

Samples values from this distribution as an array of doubles. This is a convenience method to potentially avoid boxing.

Parameters:

random - Random number generator to use.

output - The array to write the result into. Cannot be null.

start - The offset in the array to start writing at. Cannot be negative.

length - The number of values to sample. Cannot be negative.

convertToVector

public Vector convertToVector()

Description copied from interface: Vectorizable

Converts the object to a vector.

Returns:

The Vector form of the object.

convertFromVector

Returns:

Minimum support.

getMaxSupport

public java.lang.Double getMaxSupport()

Description copied from interface: UnivariateDistribution

Gets the minimum support (domain or input) of the distribution.
