Method Details

pdf

public double pdf(double x,
 Parameter p)
           throws IncorrectDistributionParameterException

This method is used to obtain from the distribution its probability distribution function evaluated where required by the user.

Specified by:

pdf in interface Distribution

Parameters:

x - double indicating where to evaluate the pdf.

p - parameter of the deterministic distribution.

Returns:

double with the probability distribution function evaluated in x.

Throws:

IncorrectDistributionParameterException

cdf

public double cdf(double x,
 Parameter p)
           throws IncorrectDistributionParameterException

This method is used to obtain from the distribution its cumulative distribution function evaluated where required by the user.

Specified by:

cdf in interface Distribution

Parameters:

x - double indicating where to evaluate the cdf.

p - parameter of the deterministic distribution.

Returns:

double with the cumulative distribution function evaluated in x.

Throws:

IncorrectDistributionParameterException

theorMean

public double theorMean(Parameter p)
                 throws IncorrectDistributionParameterException

This method is used to obtain from the distribution the value of its own theoretic mean.

Specified by:

theorMean in interface Distribution

Parameters:

p - parameter of the deterministic distribution.

Returns:

double with the theoretic mean of the distribution.

Throws:

IncorrectDistributionParameterException

theorVariance

public double theorVariance(Parameter p)
                     throws IncorrectDistributionParameterException

This method is used to obtain from the distribution the value of its own theoretic variance.

Specified by:

theorVariance in interface Distribution

Parameters:

p - parameter of the deterministic distribution.

Returns:

double with the theoretic variance of the distribution.

Throws:

IncorrectDistributionParameterException

nextRand

public double nextRand(Parameter p)
                throws IncorrectDistributionParameterException

This method is used to obtain from the distribution the next number distributed according to the distribution parameter.

Specified by:

nextRand in interface Distribution

Parameters:

p - parameter of the deterministic distribution.

Returns:

double with the next random number of this distribution.

Throws:

IncorrectDistributionParameterException
