public interface ExtendedStatistics
extends Statistics

An interface that represents a set of Statistics values which are not limited to simple doubles.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.Object	getExtendedStatistic(java.lang.String name) Returns an object corresponding to the named statistic.

Method Detail

getExtendedStatistic

java.lang.Object getExtendedStatistic(java.lang.String name)

Returns an object corresponding to the named statistic. In general the statistic will be displayed by calling its toString method, however if a Format object has been defined for this class (how?) then it will be used instead. By default the following formatters are defined

java.lang.Double

jas2.util.ScientificFormat

jas2.util.DoubleWithError

jas2.util.ScientificFormat

If the method returns null, then the getStatistic() method from the subclass will be called instead. This simplifies the use of simple floating point statistics (no need to create a Double object for each one).

Parameters:

name - The name of the statistic to return
