double	evaluate(double[] values, int begin, int length) Returns the result of evaluating the statistic over the specified entries in the input array.

Method Detail

evaluate

double evaluate(double[] values)
                throws MathIllegalArgumentException

Returns the result of evaluating the statistic over the input array.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface MathArrays.Function

Parameters:

values - input array

Returns:

the value of the statistic applied to the input array

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - if values is null

evaluate

double evaluate(double[] values,
                int begin,
                int length)
                throws MathIllegalArgumentException

Returns the result of evaluating the statistic over the specified entries in the input array.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface MathArrays.Function

Parameters:

values - the input array

begin - the index of the first element to include
